The Current Situation

Photo of the day: Social distancing at the Trump rally in Tulsa

Tap the photo to see it at full size.

The turnout at yesterday’s ill-considered rally was just under 6,200, which is less than a third of the stadium’s capacity of 19,200. This is good news not just for the safety of attendees — many of whom wrongly (and for non-scientific ideological reasons) think that the coronavirus threat is exaggerated — but probably civilization in general.
