Anything to win over as many Christians as possible of any denomination to counter (try to anyway) all the other groups he's pissed off.
Great job killing 700 of your own voters... Study: Trump rallies may be responsible for an estimated 700 Covid-19 deaths https://www.vox.com/2020/10/31/2154...eaths-superspreader-stanford-study-infections A study conducted by four Stanford University economic researchers determined that 18 Trump campaign rallies, the bulk of which took place over the past summer, “ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 incremental confirmed cases of COVID-19” and “likely led to more than 700 deaths.” The study examined 18 counties that hosted Trump rallies in locations such as Tulsa, Oklahoma; Phoenix, Arizona; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, held between June 20 and September 22. It then compared the rate of post-rally Covid-19 infections in the host counties to that of comparable counties that did not host a rally. Attendance at individual rallies varied, but Trump often draws thousands of supporters to these events. “For the vast majority of county matching procedures we employ,” the authors wrote, “our estimate of the average treatment effect across the eighteen rallies implies that they increased subsequent confirmed cases of COVID-19 by more than 250 per 100,000 residents.” The researchers — B. Douglas Bernheim, an economics professor at Stanford, and Stanford grad students Nina Buchmann, Zach Freitas-Groff, and Sebastián Otero — extrapolated that figure to the entire sample, concluding that the rallies led to thousands of new infections and, likely, hundreds of deaths. As the authors acknowledge, trying to identify exactly how many infections resulted from a Trump rally (or any other potential superspreader event) is not easy. Factors such as whether the rally is held indoor or outdoor, whether a large number of infected people attended, whether attendees wore masks, and “the distribution of infected individuals among rally attendees” can all lead to vastly different rates of infection. Likewise, while the authors estimate Trump’s summer rallies led to more than 700 deaths, they note those deaths were “not necessarily among attendees.” For example, a rally-goer may become infected with a mild case, but that same rally-goer might give the virus to his wife, who gives it to a coworker, who gives it to their sister, who dies of Covid-19. Nevertheless, the average discrepancies between the number of infections in counties hosting Trump rallies and the infection rates in other, similar counties suggest that at least some of Trump’s campaign events were superspreader events, potentially responsible for hundreds of lost lives. Earlier this month, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned that Trump was “asking for trouble” by hosting mass political rallies as the number of Covid-19 infections surge. But Fauci’s warning does not appear to have deterred the president, who reportedly plans to host 14 rallies in the final three days of the 2020 campaign.
Donnie hates people who tell the truth... White House Blasts Dr. Fauci for Criticizing Coronavirus Response Days Before Election, Accuses Him of Being Part of ‘The Swamp’ https://www.mediaite.com/news/white...ction-accuses-him-of-being-part-of-the-swamp/ With Election Day just three days away, the White House is again slamming one of its own top health experts on the coronavirus. Dr. Anthony Fauci got candid in a new interview with the Washington Post about failures of the U.S. coronavirus response, saying, “We’re in for a whole lot of hurt. It’s not a good situation… All the stars are aligned in the wrong place as you go into the fall and winter season, with people congregating at home indoors. You could not possibly be positioned more poorly.” He warned of rising death tolls and, while being careful in how he talked about the president, said Joe Biden is “taking it seriously from a public health perspective” while Trump is “looking at it from a different perspective… the economy and reopening the country.” Fauci said the task force briefings have become less frequent and had some tough words in particular for Scott Atlas. White House spokesman Judd Deere responded to Fauci in a statement accusing him of being part of “The Swamp”: Deere said Fauci “knows the risks [from the coronavirus] today are dramatically lower than they were only a few months ago.” “It’s unacceptable and breaking with all norms for Dr. Fauci, a senior member of the President’s Coronavirus Task Force and someone who has praised President Trump’s actions throughout this pandemic, to choose three days before an election to play politics,” Deere said. “As a member of the Task Force, Dr. Fauci has a duty to express concerns or push for a change in strategy, but he’s not done that, instead choosing to criticize the President in the media and make his political leanings known by praising the President’s opponent — exactly what the American people have come to expect from The Swamp.” Deere added that the president “always put the well-being of the American people first,” citing his decision to cut off travel from China, his early shutdown of the country and his mobilization of the private sector to deliver critical supplies and develop treatments and vaccines. Meanwhile, Atlas indirectly responded on Twitter going after Fauci too:
“This is was losing looks like”? Full bleachers in cold weather when your opponent can’t even get an enthusiastic crowd in warm weather? The Lincoln Project clowns may want to work on their characterizations and picture captioning. At least they have a cool name, though.
