Citing coronavirus issues, doctors ask Trump to cancel Pa. rally

Dozens of Pennsylvania doctors have called on President Donald Trump to cancel his Erie campaign rally on Tuesday night, citing the rising number of coronavirus cases in the state.

A letter signed by more than 75 physicians from around the state said such campaign events endanger public health and give a false impression that the coronavirus is “no longer with us.” The doctors also raised concerns about what they claimed was Trump spreading misinformation about the virus.

The doctors urged people not to attend the rally, though many people did anyway.

The letter noted that the Pennsylvania Department of Health reported 1,485 new positive coronavirus cases Saturday, bringing the statewide total to more than 180,940 and marking the 12th consecutive day in which the number of new cases has exceeded 1,000.

The state reported more than 1,550 new coronavirus cases in the state Tuesday, increasing the statewide total since the pandemic started at least 184,870 cases.

Do we have to wait until the virus is “no longer with us” before life goes back to normal? How many viruses has humanity eradicated so far? They’re still working on polio, after all these years.

I think he was at a rally so I don’t think he paid attention.

Nor should he.

Smallpox still exists too. If my understanding is correct, both smallpox and polio are stored in two particular labs -- one in the U.S. and the other in Russia.

A letter signed by more than 75 physicians 0.28% of the physicians from around the state

There are over 27,000 active physicians in Pennsylvania.

Yup.

Most people—even here—have no understanding of percentages....slightly more than a quarter of one percent signed.

Means over 99% did NOT!
