Health experts are questioning President Trump's decision to rally his supporters at a large indoor arena in Oklahoma amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Trump’s rallies typically draw tens of thousands of supporters. They usually stand outside in line for hours before passing through airport-style security and cramming into an arena, where they sit side by side or stand shoulder to shoulder. The rallies are typically raucous, with much shouting, cheering and chanting. Some people dance and jeer at reporters. Sometimes protesters are met with violence before they are removed by security.

Dr. Ashish Jha, director of Harvard’s Global Health Institute, called the upcoming Trump rally “an extraordinarily dangerous move for the people participating and the people who may know them and love them and see them afterward.”Trump supporters coming from neighboring cities and states could carry the virus back home, Jha said. “I’d feel the same way if Joe Biden were holding a rally.

Dart said the risk of spreading the virus increases with higher numbers of people congregating for longer periods of time.

If even one attendee has virus, they should 'lock them all up'! Maybe Trump will quarantine them at Mar-a-Virus - but don't forget to save rooms for GOP delegates.

But 'peaceful protests' nationwide - Okie dokie.

There is zero difference between a political rally and the massive US and global protests. Your 'purported' health experts spew unconscious shit out of their mouths. No One is listening.

Yeah, no one os going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe twice. Fuck. Right. Off.

We don't care.. So called health experts has been totally wrong on coronavirous.

But massive BLM protest marches are O.K.?

JoshMankiewicz No shit

How is this rally a dangerous move but the protests are completely safe

Maybe the plan is to get the virus back so bad they have to cancel the election?

Riots and BLM protests are good to go

Y'all are just mad because their penises won't be covered by panties

Now do, 10 of thousands of rioters/looters/protesters. “Dangerous move” 🙄

hEaLtH eXpErTs...

No “health experts” are quoted about increased infections from violent protests? This Rona can tell if you’re a Dem or Republican?!? Amazing.

Are these the same experts that said it was ok to protest in mass gatherings? If so, they definitely should not be called experts but rather political puppets.

Trump loves killing Americans.

Я знала это

Ok ok but what about all the rallies and protesting going on. Would you endorse it if it was outside?

But marches...

How bout everyone stop pretending that Out of Shadows documentary doesn’t exist?!

“some die-hard fans travel across the country from rally to rally like groupies for a band” might be the most pathetic yet also hilarious comment i’ve read in recent memory 😂

He simply asking his supporters to sign a waive!

Do you have the balls to print.... Protesting has led to thousands of CV cases across America and CA. Leadership failed to protect citizens and businesses. Or are you still an Activist Newspaper with an agenda?

Protesters can't get it, so we're good. We'll be protesting Democrats.

Bollocks.

What is it with conservatives & not wearing masks.....

Same health experts are perfectly fine and even applaud the Tens of Thousands of crowded protestors packed together like sardines in Brooklyn and other cities around the country.

Your newspaper is garbage.

I’m waiting for the same headline referencing the protests......when’s that coming?

Don't question it, tell the idiot it's stupid & not to risk ppl's lives.

Yea but protesting is cool without masks and no social distancing

New York - today.

But health experts are totally onboard with left-wing riots.

No, please let them do this. And make sure no one wears a mask and everyone shakes everyone’s hand.

'Health Experts' NOBODY TRUSTS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUMP2020LandsideReElectionVictory

... part of a continuing series ...

While you stand by silent about protests and riots. You lost the moral high ground a long time ago.

TRUMP2020LandsideReElectionVictory

Trump’s rallies, score one for Darwinism!

Los Angeles Times... Activists.

I am questioning this...... You are just Democrat Propaganda. Everyone knows it now.

The Left lost the plot when they supported protests during the Coronavirus they told us would mean instant death if we went to church.

Tone from the top tells you everything; he does not care.

But protesters are okay to be side by side...🤔

We the people do not consent to mask, social distancing, temperature checks, contact tracing; it is unamerican, it is unconstitutional, it is a violation of our God given rights and it is an insult to anyone with a functional brain cell.

This was today in New York.

But THIS is ok AllInThisTogether

Trump rally is dangerous but a protest and riot is celebrating constitutional rights

How is this rally a dangerous move but the protests are completely safe

Dangerous for libs cuz it’s going to be a massive rally

He should just call it a protest. Then it'll be ok.

Come on now, let nature take its course. Let Darwin have fish in a barrel.

As if he gives a shit. He needs his fix. What a generally lousy human being.

But massive BLM protests are totally cool. Got it.

To KeepAmericaGreat VoteTrumpOut

What the HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? TO SEE A CONMAN?

Total lack of credibility given endorsement of mass protests spreading COVID like wildfire.

But massive protest isn't? What a bunch of BS. Keep the rally going realDonaldTrump . we desperately need it.

Epidemics are driven by human behaviour. The virus loves these goofballs. All it needs to survive is another set of lungs and they are volunteering theirs. All the more reason for the rest of us to keep our masks on. Your home is the vaccine, embrace it.

Face news.😂

And all the protests AREN'T?

Sshhhh. Let him hold it with as many people on the crowd as possible

But the demonstrations and looting of the left are not dangerous to health in a time of pandemic.

Trump rallies called ‘dangerous move’ amid racism epidemic

And all the protesters aren't a problem? Damn I starting to really hate the media!!!

Trump & Kushner should take full responsibility for the second wave that is hitting some of the States now. They orchestrated a position ignoring expert advice. Now millions are in danger because of their fanatic effort for self preservation. They both should resign. maddow

So are all the protests, but ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

You’re such a joke LA TIMES.

But packing 20k people on hollywood blvd is?

Just call it a riot and all will be fine.

Protesting is excuse. Laughable.

How about the protestors packing the streets in NY (the epicenter of the virus) for black trans lives matter? Isnt that dangerous You’re so biased! You’re not journalists! You’re activists. The American public sees right through you

Well, he’s a dick...so....

Good for Biden.

So how are these thousands of protesters viewed?

This is premeditated murder.

But the 20,000+ ppl who protested in Brooklyn today en mass was a demonstration of unity, no worries there.

You realize thousands of people are out protesting, right?

😂😂😂

I think it is called Natural Selection

No, you know what's dangerous, when you allow thousands of people in the streets of big citys across this nation, no one adhering to social distancing, some wearing masks, some not and some of those folks destroying and even burning down businesses. Hypocrites!

'Extraordinarily dangerous': Top health officials sound dire warning about Trump rally'I’m concerned about our ability to protect anyone who attends a large, indoor event, and I’m also concerned about our ability to ensure the president stays safe as well,' said one official. Where were the health experts when Americans flood the streets protesting and rioting for more than two weeks? Mass riots fine. Political rally not fine. We don't believe you media... I hope everyone is yell-spitting during the rally so they all get a good spread of COVID-19 on each other.
