Trump Plans to Resume Rallies in the Next Two Weeks as States Begin Lifting Pandemic Restrictions
Trump campaign team weighing options as WHO declares asymptomatic carriers don’t infect others and outbreak in China may have started far earlier than first believed.
As the US gets a handle on the Wuhan Coronavirus and more states ease their pandemic restrictions, President Donald Trump is making plans to hit the road once again to for his reelection campaign.
Given the significant economic news, both in terms of unemployment numbers and stock market gains, the Trump campaign is hoping to capitalize on greater freedoms and recovery and hold a rally within the next two weeks.
Trump’s advisers are still determining where the rallies will take place and what safety measures will be implemented, depending on the type of venue chosen. Campaign manager Brad Parscale is expected to present Trump with possibilities within the next few days.
The president has been itching to resume his boisterous rallies, his favorite way to connect with supporters and let off steam. He’s planning to use the events to drive home what is expected to be a major theme of his campaign: that he is the leader of the country’s reopening and economic rebound. Trump held a hastily-called press conference Friday to celebrate an unexpectedly strong jobs report, and his campaign immediately began running a massive ad campaign seizing on the news.
There is fresh evidence that Trump can safely hold the rallies, especially if they adhere to rules related to being in good health. The World Health Organization reported asymptomatic carriers of the coronavirus do not infect others.
“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing in Geneva, CNBC reported.
“It’s very rare.”
Health officials warned early on that asymptomatic carriers could be fueling the spread by stealth –but Van Kerkhove said that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way the virus was being transmitted.
“We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing,” she said.
“They’re following asymptomatic cases. They’re following contacts. And they’re not finding secondary transmission onward. It’s very rare,” she said.
Additionally, research into the origins of the coronavirus in China continues. New information about satellite imaging of hospitals around the Wuhan area and internet searches using terms describing COVID-19 symptoms show the outbreaks in central China may have started as early as late last summer.
A new study from Harvard Medical School led by Dr John Brownstein analysed commercial satellite imagery.
His team ‘observed a dramatic increase in hospital traffic outside five major Wuhan hospitals beginning late summer and early fall 2019’.
He said the traffic surge ‘coincided’ with a rise in internet searches for symptoms that are ‘closely associated’ with coronavirus, ABC News reported.
…Brownstein said his results were ‘pointing to something taking place in Wuhan at the time’.
He said that on 10 October 2019 there were 285 cars parked at Wuhan’s Tianyou Hospital – 67 per cent more than the 171 recorded that same day a year earlier.
Other hospitals revealed a traffic increase of up to 90 per cent between autumn of 2018 and 2019, the study showed.
Wuhan Tongji Medical University saw a spike in car traffic in mid-September 2019.

Trump needs to hold rallies to counter the deliberate sabotage of our economy from the lock downs, curfews, protests and riots.
Imagine the ENERGY at that first rally?!
It could power a city for a week!
MSM to resume criticism of large crowds
Well, that didn’t take long. Now WHO is changing their mind again
https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2020/06/09/backtracking-in-progress-who-walks-back-comments-saying-asymptomatic-spread-is-very-rare/
asymptomatic spread is a danger again. Right after Trump announces new rallies!
Think I’ll write a book and call it
“Horton Hears a WHO.”
In providing their local political support to the DNC (ie, its subsidiary center of power purchased by Soros/other puppeteers, BLM/Antifa/Affiliated Orgs), watch, then, for new, rising, progressive political stars, such as Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender, to be interviewed (as an expert adviser/consultant whose message, progressives insist, we all need to get woke) by the MSM for the propagation, say, of this week’s zany progressive notion — police defunding; social inquiry/work, instead of law enforcement, utilized in the attainment of justice and peace — to help implement, ASAP, the above New Power Now conglomerate’s dystopia-awaiting Bizarro-World.
Imagine, now, however, a popular CNN anchor, having been properly programmed, I mean advised, about socially unjust white legacy and
other fortunes of fate’s facilitation of white privilege, the underlying social sin that, once eradicated sufficiently, can allow the funding reprogramming, from policing to real justice and peace, to take place.
The following interview this occurs — (supposed)topic: Trump Campaigns to Resume; (real topic: expose the true exercise at play in the rallies themselves . . . )
Trump 2020 Campaign Official and Counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway: . . . “That’s right, Alisyn, with the Covid-19 lockdown, well, for all intents and purposes, UNLOCKED recently by multiple state officials, who, in reflexively rescinding any outstanding stay-at-home/social distancing orders, blessed the close-standing throngs of recent, universally peaceful protests — I mean, their pretext for all the violent, injurious, sometime murderous crime committed against any and all by self-deemed righteous warriors for social justice, and, just incredibly, I mean, we’re just ALL astonished at the duplicity of the Democrat state officials’ suddenly saying, it’s okay to go out and protest/intermingle while doing so at naturally very sub-par, Covid-19-spread-preventing social distancing; so, with that as our immediate backdrop, the Trump campaign is set, ready, and simply just can’t wait to return to the campaign trail and greet, live and in person, the tens of thousands of great Americans, who can’t wait to support their outstanding president/public servant and show to all America their undying appreciation to God and Country, and the country’s faithful leader, who never gave up on them through all that everyone in America has either been through or understood about others’ misfortunes in neighboring states, or even had the fortune to help others to recover, nearby and remotely.
AC: Kellyanne, I want —
KC: — So, as you can see, Alisyn, holding these mega town-centered rallies is actually to celebrate America itself, in all her resilience and renewed energy; and it’s President Trump who merely wants the repeat opportunity to lead and continue to protect the social contract of ordered liberty with the federal government, fully supported and protected by Equal-Justice-Under-Law, which is at once our nation’s real, working, legal principle and, no less, its constant ideal to which all — and I mean ALL — Americans are guaranteed its proper transmission and rightful effect by the Constitution.
MSM Anchor, Alisyn Camerota: You said a lot, Kellyanne; and so, I’d like to break that down a bit, if you’ll permit me . . .
KC: Sure!
AC: I mean, basically, isn’t all what you said the completely transparent intention for the 2020 Trump Campaign — and, some would add, HATEFULLY, INSULTINGLY, AND IN A NAKEDLY RACIST MANNER — to attempt the continued promotion and practice of PRIVILEGE?
KC: PRIVILEGE??!! Alisyn, I was talking about the CONSTITUTION and its guaranteed protection to ALL Americans, under the rubric of Equal Justice Under Law! How in the world could that possibly have anything to do with the popular and, frankly, very odd, social notion of Privilege?
AC: Well, honestly, Kellyanne, aren’t they one and the same?
KC: Okay, Alisyn, then honestly, WHAT are one and the same?
AC: The notion that only certain Americans, I mean, those — and they’re pretty much entirely white — who let President Trump lead their thoughts, their wills, their convictions — granted far more so than not, by legacy and other fortunes of fate, access to the Constitution’s guarantee of Equal Justice Under Law.
KC: Alisyn — Well, you know what, rather? I’d love to stay and chat, but I just got paged, reminding me to attend an important presidential meeting, set to start in 15 minutes; so, I’m gonna excuse myself from this now-concluded interview, Alisyn. Have a nice day.
KC: (After handing over the mic to someone off-camera, Kellyanne leaves the set; there’s now only a live shot of the White House, in the background.)
AC: Kellyanne? Kellyanne? (Commenting to crew in the studio: . . . I believe she’s left the set! . . .) Kellyanne, are you there? . . . Kellyanne?

Imagine a World without Democrats and Fake News Media, where ordinary people of all colors, can simply get along for their mutual best interests without evil forces perverting their emotions!
Brilliant. The Left has already said and demonstrated that large assemblies are safe. Let’s do this.
Maybe the rally attendees can bring some old cars to the parking area and set them on fire in solidarity with the BLM hypocrites. The media will swoon.
The satellite analysis looks clever. But anything from the WHO is about as trustworthy as hearing it directly from its masters, the Chinese. Treachery and conspiracy have consequences. WHO is worthless; or, rather, we don’t know which parts of it are worthless, which means that none of it is trustworthy.
You guys are on it…. if people can protest and riot, then a rally can happen!
But its not only that…. PDJT knows, as a top level Master of trolling the left, that now is the time to start lobbing rhetorical grenades into public discourse. The whole BLM movement, etc. is insanely going after ANY voice of disagreement and worse…. PDJT instinctively wants to get in the middle of that!!!!! This is how the debate amongst the left will be drawn out and exposed for the world to see and feel.
How can the left object? They’ve all been hoping that Trump supporters will die of COVID so they should be all for these rallies, right?
So can we get rid of the damn masks already????
^1,000
Yes, hell yes.
I haven’t worn one, yet. Ride Public Transit to work 5 days a week too.
The Doctor’s office gave me one as they have a requirement and I needed the lab work done. Vet required one, don’t know the animals will catch it, but the vets are about as old as I am. Otherwise I’ve not worn one either.
I had avoided it until I went to Costco last week. The mask i used was about as useless as a coffee filter (maybe less so) – just one layer of thin cotton woven fabric.
But, I have chronic lung inflammation. So just that little useless mask was enough for me to start gasping for breath by the time I hit the checkout stand. I eventually pulled it down just so I could breath. I will not do it again.
My Lyft driver demanded I wear one despite wearing one himself. Refused to drive until I did. If masks are effective, why does he (and Lyft) care if passengers wear them?
The crowds will be epic while, Biden hides in his Basement.
Once again, we’re using the wrong script. It should be like this:
THEM: Drumpf and his cult are going to kill millions of people by exposing them to the flu at his rallies; they’re all so heartless and cruel! Shut them down!!
U.S.: These are not “rallies” — they’re riots. We’ll be rioting for justice. We have a constitutional right to protest and voice our dissent because silence is violence. Our MAGA riots are labor pains of inevitable systemic change that is about to happen. And any attempt to silence our voices would be supporting fascism, and that’s not who we are. You people need to stop listening to Brietbart and FOX; you know they lie all the time anyway.
THEM: But Drumpf himself said they are rallies!
U.S.: He’s the biggest liar of all! No, they’re riots for justice and the rebirth of America.
Heh, this is great.
Personally, I was going to suggest calling them “protests against anti-American culture”…but your idea works, too!!!!
The governor’s office had warned Ace Speedway that a crowd of more than 25 would violate the state’s Phase 2 coronavirus restrictions. But news outlets report that more than 2,000 attended a race Saturday night.
A sign from management outside the speedway said, “This Event is held in Peaceful Protest of Injustice and Inequality Everywhere.”
But peaceful riots. This is how our people riot. We think violent thoughts, really hard, but don’t damage anything. Who are you to tell us how to riot? How ethnocentric of you.
I see that we deplorables are catching on! All we have to do is burn some stuff and it’s OK! Up to now we’ve been doing it wrong, obeying laws, peaceful rallies, cleaning up afterwards, going to work, minding our business. This is MUCH easier!
So are we believing WHO now?
If so, it suggests that (a) different WHO people are involved, (b) we were mistaken about WHO, or (c) there’s independent evidence to confirm that WHO is right about the low risk of asymptomatic spread.
Option (c) is probably the most reliable. If WHO says the risk is low, or CNN says that 1+1 = 2, it’s wise to get independent verification.
no, I am not believing WHO anymore than I have in the past. The difference to me is that NOW if anyone calls me on mask wearing or social distancing, I can pull out WHO for support – because THEY believe WHO.
No, we don’t believe the WHO. But there are 400 million reasons they have to reconcile with the United States. Too little, too late on their part but we’ll see what happens in the future with the WHO.
This is brilliant for the simple reason that we already KNOW that the Left will attack the catnip here. They won’t be able to help themselves. There are ‘public health’ officials who have already said that we have to maintain social distancing except when at a BLM rally or when looting. So when President Trump holds a rally, they, the media, and the Democrats (I of course repeat myself) will condemn him. They won’t be able to hold back. The voters will notice.
Violence against the rally-attendees will be serious. But good preparation is the key.
The bigger “elephant in the room” are the rallies of senile Joe Biden, or lack thereof.
Heh- First the left says black people were more susceptible to succumbing to the virus, then they tell black people to go out and protest in large numbers while the rest of us should stay home.
Did they run out of small pox blankets?
The mere thought of PDJT holding campaign rally in multiple states will make the MSM explode. Biden isn’t capable of drawing a crowd and even if a crowd was bussed in he couldn’t deliver a one or two hour performance without veering off into some spectacular gaffe.
“… outbreaks in central China may have started as early as late last summer.”
Sort of rules out the visiting US delegation in October.
Finally we’ll hear truth spoken.
He needs to have secret service and FBI agent’s stationed so they can arrest the progressive fascist thugs (ANTIFA) when they attack those attending his rallies.
If blacks are truly upset about unfortunate encounters with the police why don’t they change their behavior so they respect the law. Now a huge percentage of blacks are criminals. They choose to commit crimes and as a result have bad encounters with the police.
