WASHINGTON (AP) There are no crowds at Disneyland, still shut down by the coronavirus. Fewer fans attended the World Series this year than at any time in the past century. Big concerts are canceled.
But it's a different story in Trumpland. Thousands of President Donald Trump's supporters regularly cram together at campaign rallies around the country masks optional and social distancing frowned upon.
Trump rallies are among the nation's biggest events being held in defiance of crowd restrictions designed to stop the virus from spreading. This at a time when public health experts are advising people to think twice even about inviting many guests for Thanksgiving dinner.
It doesnt matter who you are or where you are, when you have congregate settings where people are crowded together and virtually no one is wearing a mask, thats a perfect setup to have an outbreak of acquisition and transmissibility, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, recently told Yahoo News. It's a public health and scientific fact.
