President Donald Trump is officially cut off from having rallies, according to the Center for Disease Control.

A new rule was announced by the CDC Sunday, according to Bloomberg News reporter Steven Denis.

“No gatherings of any size without social distancing, hand hygiene, and protecting vulnerable populations,” the guidelines say. And this will go on for eight weeks, or two months.

Just last week, Trump said that he wouldn’t be canceling any of his rallies, but by Friday, he was changing his tune. Now it seems the CDC has barred the political rallies.

While the president says that everything is fine and tells people to “relax,” it’s a huge indication of the seriousness of the situation. It has been 46 days since the first case of coronavirus was detected in the United States.

and its tax season...................................now what................

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He'll ignore that rule, and he'll keep having fund-raisers at Merde-a-Loco.

[Squinch]

2. Hopefully the top of his head will blow off from the pressure of not having his Hitler gatherings.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. I'd buy a front row seat for that event.....

And wear a HAZMAT suit in the process..

Like the scene in Monty Python's MEANING OF LIFE......When the Gormand in the restaurant blows up.

9. Just one more thin mint for Mr. Creosote.

3. my guess is some states

will implement these to an extent it not state wide in some cases.

[jaysunb]

5. Trump rallies are exempt. Please spread the word. n/t

[doc03]

6. I think they should make an exception for Trump rallies nt

[Ahpook]

13. I get the joke, but not a good idea

Like it or not, we all typically frequent the same places.

Those idiots think this is a "lib" plot to destroy.... something or other. I don't want those assholes around me.

[RockRaven]

7. Catching coronavirus to "own" the Deep State

I'd not be bothered if they were just catching. But each catcher today is tomorrow's spreader, and that I mind very much.

8. What will happen when his "supply" is cut off?! Somehow I'm reminded of the "I'm melting" scene

in the Wizard of Oz. (From my mouth to god's ear.)

[degage]

10. How will he survive with out the hate rallies?

Trump really, really needs the display of adoration from his cult. I think we all know he's very insecure internally. He needs that validation and the worship he gets at those rallies. No telling what sort of nasty funk he'll get into without them. Could be bad.

[Marie Marie]

16. We will see more press conferences where all those standing behind him

take turns at the mic stating their adoration for Dear Leader. The Narcissist must be fed!!

Guidance as of 3/15/2020

Large events and mass gatherings can contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States via travelers who attend these events and introduce the virus to new communities. Examples of large events and mass gatherings include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings, and other types of assemblies. These events can be planned not only by organizations and communities but also by individuals.

Therefore, CDC, in accordance with its guidance for large events and mass gatherings, recommends that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States.

Events of any size should only be continued if they can be carried out with adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations, hand hygiene, and social distancing. When feasible, organizers could modify events to be virtual.

This recommendation does not apply to the day to day operation of organizations such as schools, institutes of higher learning, or businesses. This recommendation is made in an attempt to reduce introduction of the virus into new communities and to slow the spread of infection in communities already affected by the virus. This recommendation is not intended to supersede the advice of local public health officials.

Just wondering...
