READ, PENNSYLVANIA (Dagbladet): A new study from Stanford University estimates that 18 of Donald Trump’s election rallies have led to more than 30,000 cases of infection and 700 crown-related deaths.
It is not necessarily the participants in the election rally who have had to pay with their lives, the researchers write.
The study covers the electoral campaign events in the period from June 20 to September 30.

Tens of thousands of attendees
The researchers write that Trump’s election rallies have several characteristics that make them interesting to watch. Among other things, the events have had a large number of participants, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of attendees.
Dagbladet is present at Trump’s public meeting in Pennsylvania on Saturday night Norwegian time. Thousands of people have turned up at Reading’s small airport.
Queues stretched several hundred meters from the entrance just over an hour before Trump took the stage. Most of the participants here don’t wear masks either.
Trump came to Reading directly from the city of Newton in Pennsylvania. Today’s big four rallies are angering the governor of Pennsylvania.
“Last month, my administration sent a letter to President Trump asking him to limit the audience at his events and to follow strict rules on distance and bandaging,” writes Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.
