Trump ramps up rallies, bucking health guidelines as virus rages

Live Mint  

President Donald Trump is forging ahead with a breakneck pace of rallies in battleground states during the final days of his re-election campaign, defying public-health guidelines as a wave of new coronavirus cases smacks the U.S. Trump will stage six rallies over the next three days in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina and New Hampshire as he rushes to make up ground on Democratic nominee Joe Biden. After the president said during Thursday’s debate that Americans “are learning to live with it,” Biden countered that “people are learning to die with it,” pointing to the U.S.’s world-worst 220,000 deaths from Covid-19. “By his actions and dis-encouragement, he’s actively contributing to the spread of this virus and to the illness, death and misery that can result from Covid infections.” Trump’s rallies go against the spirit, if not the letter, of policies in states and counties the president plans to visit in the coming days, as well as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines that say large, in-person gatherings present the highest risk for spreading Covid-19. Violating Guidelines “When elected leaders violate the White House coronavirus guidelines, especially with large maskless crowds that sit and stand closely together for hours, they put people’s health at risk,” MacMillan said in an emailed statement.
