So George. correct me if I’m wrong. I assume you support Trump and his requirements that attendees to his rally’s do not wear masks or practice social distancing. Do you then support all mass gatherings-sports, concerts, dances etc without social distancing or masks being required.
I am directly affected by this because one of my prime endeavors is concert and event promotion and doing sound ant tech work for festivals and concerts. Us promoters love huge crowds and hoards of dancing sweaty patrons.

Bottomline: With Trump due to hold smaller rallies in public venues, he is smoking out Biden to come out of his basement and address crowds, just like he is doing. Cheering throngs vs Grandpa in the basement. When will they roll Biden out? Probably not for awhile. With the well financed Blue Mob, Biden can let the media do his work for him. He can’t be trusted to to the job, so the Apparatus has stepped in.

Of Course COVID-19 Cases Will Rise — Chill Out
“Just watch — as soon as President Donald Trump begins his massive campaign rallies, MSM talkingheads will run to their fainting couches, blasting him for holding these rallies where the virus is certain to be spread. The Leftmedia will predictably charge Trump with aiding if not outright causing a “second wave” of COVID-19. Pundits will blame Trump for literally killing people.
Finally, the message that all Americans should accept is that COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon, but it’s also not a death sentence for the vast majority of Americans. Take precautions, protect the most vulnerable, and ride it out. And maybe the best advice is to just chill out. Handwringing and worrying over this won’t do a thing to stop its spread or create a vaccine. As Andy Dufresne, the main character in the movie “Shawshank Redemption,” states, “I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really: Get busy living or get busy dying.” It’s time to get busy living, America.”

PaulE – I don’t support further lockdowns even though we will have succeeding ‘waves’ of C19 until a reliable vaccine is developed. None has been developed yet for the garden variety flu, and we have succeeding waves of it every fall and winter which cause tens of thousands to die of it. No one has been social distancing, wearing masks, locking down, and turning off the economy for that, at least for a century. Rebane Doctrine calls for the government and healthcare institutions to publish the latest risk data (accounting for demographics, comorbidity, and geography) for C19, flu, …, and all other contagious diseases, along with what lowers the probability of people getting infected. Then people can decide for themselves where to go and which events to attend. Laws should be passed that you get to sue no one if you catch the bug. Capice?

Thanks George for the thoughtful response. George you write that ” Rebane Doctrine calls for the government and healthcare institutions to publish the latest risk data (accounting for demographics, comorbidity, and geography) for C19, flu and all other contagious diseases, along with what lowers the probability of people getting infected.
Those guidelines concerning C19 have been published by the CDC that encourage the use of face masks. Here’s their recommendation:
“A cloth face covering may not protect the wearer, but it may keep the wearer from spreading the virus to others.”
Is Trump being responsible as the leader of our country to ignore those recommendations from his own at his rally’s and gatherings ?

Take a radical lawyer mix in some soros money and the PLO and you get –
One of the two lawyers accused of trying to torch an NYPD cruiser during protests that engulfed Brooklyn over the weekend spent a summer in the West Bank as a fellow and intern with radical Palestinian activist organizations.
Two attorneys, Colinford Mattis, 32, and Urooj Rahman, 31, reportedly were caught attempting to distribute homemade molotov cocktail devices to protesters who were clashing with police near the 88th Precinct in Fort .
“Rahman attempted to distribute Molotov cocktails to the witness and others so that those individuals could likewise use the incendiary devices in furtherance of more destruction and violence,” a witness was quoted as saying to authorities in a detention memo from federal prosecutors for the Eastern District of New York.
Rahman was captured in a photo obtained by the New York Daily News wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh on her face and holding a makeshift Molotov cocktail. The keffiyeh, a chequered black and white scarf, has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism.
Rahman is a graduate from Fordham University law school. In 2014, she did a summer fellowship internship program at the Israel based Mada Al-Carmel’s Arab Center for Applied Social Research in a partnership program with Palestine Works.
The Mada Al-Carmel center is heavily financed by George Soros through his Open Society Foundations.
NGO Monitor lists some of the radical organization’s political advocacy. The center co-authored the “Haifa Declaration” which calls for a “change in the definition of the State of Israel from a Jewish state” and accuses Israel of “exploiting” the Holocaust “at the expense of the Palestinian people.”
The September 2011 edition of Mada al Carmel’s journal Jadal focused on “Boycotting Israel: Between Theory and Practice.”
As part of her Soros-backed fellowship at the Mada Al-Carmel center, Rahman spent a week with the radical Palestine Work organization.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida is sitting on more than 980,000 unused doses of hydroxychloroquine, a drug President Donald Trump touted as a “game changer” in the fight against the coronavirus, after only a handful of hospitals in the state asked for access to the medicine.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said in April that the state was getting 1 million doses of the drug. The announcement was made during a press conference that came across as a commercial for hydroxychloroquine. Held in the Florida Cabinet room, the event featured the video testimonial of a patient who had taken the drug, a question-and-answer session with a doctor who endorsed the treatment, and DeSantis touting the drug by name, even as he referenced other experimental treatments for Covid-19 only vaguely.
