US President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign will once again arrange major rallies during the widespread Covid-19 on Saturday. These rallies will take place in parts of the country reportedly planned in Red Zones by Trump’s own White House coronavirus response task force. It is noteworthy that thousands of the president’s supporters are expected to gather in large crowds this weekend in Wisconsin. Johns Hopkins University published tracking data and it indicated the State is considered one of the highest rates of new Covid-19 cases in the country. More than 119,955 people in the State have already been infected with the coronavirus and 1,300 people have lost their lives. President Trump is now looking to move forward with the in-person scheduled rallies, in spite of the White House task force identifying parts of Wisconsin as exponential growth in infections.

The recent report was forwarded by the White House coronavirus task force to State officials. It pointed out 2 cities in Wisconsin where the president was scheduled to greet his supporters on Saturday, La Crosse and Green Bay. The Washington Post reported that hospitals in the metropolitan region where Trump was scheduled to hold his rally were nearing capacity with the Bellin Health System indicating it was already at 94% capacity. It is important that President Trump used Tuesday’s night debate to boast about the size of crowds at rallies held throughout the pandemic. He claimed he brought 35 to 40,000 people to his events because people want to hear what he has to say. Trump also defended his decision to host massive in-person events that largely go unmasked and without proper social distancing health guidelines.

President Trump also claimed there wasn’t any negative effect in his rallies when it comes to the ongoing spread of Covid-19 in the United States. He also criticized his competitor Joe Biden for hosting smaller, socially distanced events in recent months. Point to be noted that the novel coronavirus has killed over 200,000 Americans and one million people worldwide. The White House coronavirus response task force has urged states and local governments to step up their Covid-19 safety measures in the days ahead. Dr. Anthony Fauci informed ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday and said, “As we get into the fall and the winter, you really want the level of community spread to be as low as you possibly get it. There are states that are starting to show an uptick in cases and even some increases in hospitalizations in some states”.
