Trump to hold rally in Wisconsin county facing record-breaking coronavirus cases

President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Wisconsin on Thursday will not only kick off a precarious string of large, in-person campaign events for the president across crucial swing states, but it'll also be held in a state and county that's seeing a spike in coronavirus cases as the country nears 200,000 deaths from the pandemic.

The rally, taking place at an airport hangar in Mosinee, Wisconsin, comes as the county hosting the event, Marathon County, saw 925 positive coronavirus cases as of Sept. 16 and as the president publicly clashed with the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over a timeline for a vaccine.

After a brief pause in packed rallies over the summer, the president has returned to full-steam ahead with less than 50 days to go until Election Day. He has begun holding multiple packed rallies each week that often break local guidelines and ignore the recommendations his own administration is promoting, though in Wisconsin and nationally, Trump continues to trail Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the polls.

"This week, the COVID-19 activity level for Marathon County is: HIGH," reads the county's coronavirus online dashboard. "High" is defined as a "significant increase in cases in the past two weeks."

1. And more people will get infected.

12. I think, and hope, that Democrats are making an ad about this now

They should be running an ad BEFORE he gets there. With clips of stories about other rallies causing rises in infections. And with a projection about how many estimated lives he will take by holding the rally. For Wisconsins to anticipate that.

Oh yeah, and also include the sound clip of him explaining that he's not worried because he is so far away from the crowd.

2. Culling the dunces with social Darwinism

There is just no downside to this policy.

5. Another superspreader

7. The mass rally where he can whip up his fans is the main tool of a demagogue

Online events just don't cut it for him. No frenzy, no feeling that they adore him and will do anything for him, even commit violence.

Besides, as a psychopath he doesn't care at all that he's exposing his fans to the virus. After all, he's quoted by Olivia Troye, former Pence aide for the coronavirus task force, calling them disgusting people.

It only makes it better that it'll sicken people in states where the governors have criticized him. He LOVES flouting the rules, being so powerful no one can stop him. He gets satisfaction from satisfying his vindictive side.

I realized that today after reading this article on Kremlin disinformation from an expert on it, Zarina Zabrisky.

11. Wisconsin has had a smattering of days with 1,000+ new cases.

On Thursday, the day he appeared in this rally, we had our first 2,000 case day.

Because of "Mary's uncle", it won't be the last.

I haven't heard anything about that yet.
