Many counties that hosted Trump rallies had a significant increase in Covid-19 cases
Source: CNN
A CNN investigation of 17 Trump campaign rallies finds that 14 of the host counties -- 82% of them -- had an increased rate of new Covid-19 cases one month after the rally.
The 17 rallies occurred between August 17 and September 26. CNN evaluated the rate of new daily cases per 100,000 residents at four weeks before the rally, on the rally date, and four weeks after the rally at the county level and at the state level.
Of the 14 host counties that had increased infection rates, eight of the counties had declining rates of infection in the month before the rally. The other six counties already had increasing rates of infection in that preceding month.
CNN's analysis also found that in 10 counties, the new rates of infection were growing faster than the overall rate for the state.

Wow, the story talks about a county in NV that had a falling number of cases, but in the four weeks after a Trump rally, the rate of new cases in the county went up by 225%. If it not COVID, then it might frost bite (Omaha) or heat stroke (Tampa Bay).

(17,387 posts)I bet he gets a kick about how many people he can convince to go to rallies even in the midst of a pandemic or extreme weather. Right now, Trump rallies are the only mass events going on where there is no social distancing or masks. So, if you are a COVID denialist, then a Trump rally is your safe space.
