Trump Holds Mini-Rally in His New 'Home State' of Florida and Almost No One Showed Up

Source: Political Flare

Trump landed in Tampa, where he is participating in a fundraiser, and was greeted by dozens of supporters who had gathered along barricades.

I’m surprised local officers would not want to protect themselves and others they serve.
I thought Florida was really bad with the virus . Is it only certain areas?

the heat makes it go away.
As flu season approaches be sure to get the shot. Surviving the flu couched in covidid a longshot.

On the one hand it is good that there were not a lot of people due to covid. On the other hand judging by the barriers, they obviously thought a lot more people were going to show up. I bet that was a long flight home for his staff.
