WASHINGTON Top Republicans donors at President Donald Trump's two recent fundraisers had to have tested negative for the coronavirus, fill out a wellness questionnaire and pass a temperature check to be near him, but thousands of supporters who attend his upcoming rally will not be screened as thoroughly.
After declining to explain for days which safety measures, if any, will be enforced by the Trump campaign at the Tulsa, Oklahoma, event this weekend, senior officials Monday said hand sanitizer and face masks will be offered to all attendees, though not necessarily required. Rallygoers will also have their temperatures taken before entering an arena that fits more than 19,000 people.
At high-dollar dinners in Dallas and Bedminster, New Jersey, several dozen GOP financial backers had the costs of their COVID-19 tests covered by the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee.
There is no plan to test any of the supporters who attend the mega-rally in Oklahoma, where cases have spiked in recent days and the sweltering heat may complicate temperature readings. The campaign did not say what would happen if someone registered a higher-than-usual fever or what the cutoff would be for entry.

As Rick Wilson called it, "Masque of the Red Hat Death".

(6,150 posts)But I want huge numbers of them to get sick. HUGE numbers.
Numbers so high that the whole "Coronavirus is a hoax" thing goes right out the window.
And then, I want Trump to have to eat it. I want ALL of his followers to know that he put them at risk so that he could have some narcissistic love-fest.
I want *pray* for this, because that is a mockery of karma.
But I would like to see it happen. a whole lot.

The rubes will buy them as souvenirs of the "hoax".
