A group of Michigan-based healthcare activists condemned President Donald Trump’s planned rally in Lansing on Tuesday amid record daily new coronavirus cases, saying it “threatens to make things worse.”
With just a week to go before the November 3 election, Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are traveling to U.S. states in the final push to oust voters. Although their approaches differ, Trump chose to hold larger, more crowded rallies, contrary to the advice of his top coronavirus advisers, compared to Biden’s drive-in events.
“It’s a choice between Trump’s boom or Biden lockdown, but you’re already locked in,” Trump told the crowd in the lance of the mistress. “It’s a choice between our plan to kill the virus or our plan to kill Biden. The American dream.”
Trump, who was hospitalized with a coronavirus earlier this month and has since recovered, had an outbreak at the White House as well as his own infection. His son Baron, who also tested positive, recovered “in about 12 minutes,” Trump said.
“Young children have very strong immune systems, no one knew it,” Trump said. “Get your kids back to school.” When young adults get seriously ill and need to be hospitalized or Die, they can still spread the virus in older adults at risk, experts warn.
Minneapolis is among 16 states that reported record-high daily new Covid-19 cases on Monday, according to a CNBC analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University, which uses weekly averages to ease fluctuations in the daily report. About 2,220 new cases are being registered every day in the state, an increase of 22% over a week ago.
“The Covid-19 is not disappearing. Trump’s rally in Lansing only threatens to make things worse,” said Dr. Stephanie Markle said Medicare secured during a press call organized by the committee.
Amid mounting cases in Michigan, Markle said the Covid-19 unit at his hospital had to be reopened to prepare for additional patients. He said hospitals have plans for their resurgence in locations and “keep an eye out for the next wave of something we know is already here.”
He said, “We are very concerned that the President’s rallies will affect the people of our communities. This uncontrolled spread will only make the grief and anguish we see across the state worse.”
West. Rob Davidson, an emergency room physician in western Michigan and executive director of the Committee to Protect Medicare, criticized the president for spreading false information about the coronavirus and using his rallies to “hide what he threw away towels.” .
“Those of us who see for ourselves that Kovid-19 looks close to patients who can’t breathe, know that Kovid-19 isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon,” Davidson said. He added that visitors and patients of his emergency department were disappointed when he said they must wear face wear.
“Whenever he makes fun of people wearing masks, he signals to supporters that they shouldn’t wear masks,” Davidson said.
Trump’s election team had previously defended Ries Leo, saying he checks the temperature for attendees and provides them with hand sanitizers and masks at the time of entry, although they are not required to wear them.
A spokesman for Trump’s campaign was not immediately available for comment.
