Researchers from Stanford University estimate President Donald Trump's series of campaign rallies have functioned as COVID-19 superspreader events. HuffPost reports Stanford University researchers say the events led to thousands of more cases and hundreds of more deaths than would have occurred otherwise. Though not necessarily among attendees, more than 30,000 new confirmed coronavirus cases and more than 700 deaths, arose because of the gatherings. HuffPost reports that among the 18 events studied, three of them ― in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Phoenix; and Henderson, Nevada ― took place indoors; the rest happened outdoors. Photos and video from Trump’s events showed that few attendees wore masks to help prevent the spread of the highly contagious disease. The Stanford findings appeared to back up one Oklahoma health official who suggested that the president’s rally contributed to a spike in COVID-19 cases around Tulsa in late June and early July. The communities in which Trump rallies took place paid a high price in terms of disease and death. Study authors, Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research
Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg weighed in on President Donald Trump's frantic pace of campaign rallies Wednesday on Fox News. Buttigieg told host Martha MacCallum that while Joe Biden admittedly was doing few stops, he was unsure if it was really helping Trump's chances. He said that when Trump left his supporters out freezing in the cold in Omaha, it was which 'a great metaphor for how he’s treated his supporters more generally.' In Arizona you’ve got a bunch of people in a rally that has the potential to be a spreader event, which kind of symbolizes his inability to lead us out of this pandemic. Pete Buttigieg Interview with Marth MacCallum, Fox News MacCallum dismissed the comment, saying 'we’ve heard that line a lot.'
