We really shouldn’t make light of anything concerning the super-spreader events that Trump hosts and promotes, but at this point, these are adults, they know the science – much as they’ve tried to avoid it – and they’ve made a decision to show up to these events to see a man that they believe to be bigger than life. Well, we’ll see about that soon enough.
But Coronavirus has got to be ready because it will get few opportunities to get around and “mate” like it might tonight. (This is how viruses replicate, reproduce themselves, so might as well say that the viruses on hand plan on getting lucky tonight). The lungs and mucus are there, few masks are there, the throats are ready to shout, everything is set up perfectly.
Coronavirus has to be thrilled, never in its wildest dreams did it think it would get opportunities again like it will over the next couple weeks. It is going to need some extra energy. From one of its latest hosts, it’s got an idea. It might well try some Adderall. Granted, it might have trouble having much of an effect, not being a cell and all, just genetic material, but what’s to lose?

And remember, the superstar that’s bringing these people really together, the guy that’s going to have them yelling and breathing hard, isn’t even there yet. Plus, COVID now has a secret weapon it would never have hoped to have. People believe there’s a cure. After all, it “cured” Donald Trump, right?

Florida is going to Florida.
#MemoToTrump [9] I'm wondering how many of these people will be sick and/or in-hospital and/or dead from coronavirus by election day – way to treat your supporters, @realDonaldTrump [10]! #MaskDenialKills [11] https://t.co/hlmZfi87ZT [12]

One of the sad things is that it’s going to be very hard to track the spread from these superspreader events. It’s hard enough to pin down where someone got it. It wouldn’t help the victim at all, nor the families, but it might help hold the person who held the rallies accountable a little bit.
The psycho rallies get smaller and smaller @realDonaldTrump [10] just like the @GOP [14] BASE https://t.co/zmigSjJgGW [15]
