Did the WH change course because of poor anticipated attendance at the GOP convention?

[unitedwethrive]

It seems too convenient that six months into the pandemic, the WH finally decides to acknowledge the severity of the heath crisis facing us and mention some basic, common sense approaches to initial management. After the failed Tulsa rally, and the cancelled NH one (reportedly due to low attendance), is Trump trying to set up a narrative for explaining away the lack of adoring crowds at the upcoming convention?

There is always some political motive behind everything this administration does, so I don’t think anyone believes that they really just suddenly decided to embrace the science behind disease prevention.

1. It may be that Republican governors were finally able to get through to him

And some Republican senators.

Some of them actually get that their own voters are dying because of the anti-mask stupidity.

2. I am thinking maybe, just maybe it had to do with so many rump officials are coming down sick w/ the

CV, it seems everywhere one turns, and before you know it, all of the rump officials are sick. Don't have anybody else to blame but themselves for being stupid in today's times that call for prudent measures when out and about in a public venue, and also, this sure doesn't look good in anybody's book when all or a lot of rump's goons are coming down w/ the CV.

3. Polls

5. It sounded good that day

6. People are telling him No, so he's telling you it's his idea.

It’s what liars do.

7. I think if Herman Cain dies

of CV it will be in the news and point back to the Tulsa super spreader rally. Trump led his own into the abyss.

Even Cain’s Twitter has become pro-mask, after an anti-mask Tweet on July 2, the day he was admitted to the hospital.

Plus, Wal-Mart.

8. Whats his current condition ? Havent heard any news

[sfstaxprep]

9. Nobody Knows

He's probably on a ventilator and about to die, if he hasn't died already. They LIE constantly, so there's no way to know what's going on, but given there has not been a single photo since he went into the hospital, he's probably doing poorly.

15. 8 days later ... we have answer

[torius]

10. I think he's on a ventilator.

The account strongly hinted it by using the term "cruise control." They claim he's improving and also said something weaselly like "if his progress goes on as it has," the doctors will try more "proactive" treatments. If you type "herman cain tulsa" into Twitter search (you don't need to be signed in or anything) you can see discussions.

13. Don't understand why he would even go their anyone his age

its worst then playing Russian roulette, "proactive" mean its not going well ...SAD

[ace3csusm]

14. It happened 8 days later wow...

[ooky]

11. Caving poll numbers. His old tactics weren't working.

This won't work either. Everyone already knows who and what he is, and it ain't pretty.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. I think it's more politically motivated (poor polling numbers)

I don't know what they'll be able to do within the next four months that will convince people that he shouldn't be held responsible for the 143K people whom are, sadly, no longer with us and for not getting their stuff together sooner.
