6 Trump campaign staffers tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of Saturday rally, which experts have warned could be a superspreader event

US President Donald Trump speaks at a "Make America Great Again" rally at Minges Coliseum in Greenville, North Carolina, on July 17, 2019.Six staffers on the president's re-election campaign tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of his Saturday night rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Trump campaign confirmed to Business Insider.

Health experts have worried that the president's rally will be a COVID-19 superspreading event. Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx reportedly expressed concerns last week over the safety of the large, in-person rally. "Per safety protocols, campaign staff are tested for COVID-19 before events," Tim Murtaugh, the communications director for the Trump campaign told Business Insider. "Six members of the advance team tested positive out of hundreds of tests performed, and quarantine procedures were immediately implemented."

Antigen our antibodies? Stop conflating by reporting number of cases in generic terms.

Positive? Many have had it. Nice try.

Where were those experts during riots and mass gatherings in the streets?

Experts? LoL hahaha hahaaaa OMG

Fake news

Experts? Like who? Alyssa Milano?

CapaTosta122 Oh no, the hoax got them.....

It’s not a rally...it’s a protest.

If anything is a superspreader it would be nationwide riots and protests that very clearly had no social distancing. You need to hire fewer assholes and more journalists. DoubleStandards FakeNews

These aren't the same experts who said it's ok to go and protest is it?

Too bad tens of thousands of protesters weren’t tested.

Nice try!!!

Less votes for Nov, awesome

'experts'

Now do the protest.

Key word... test yes they did that which is more than any protester did before days of massive protests!!!!

Cool story. Impossible to take you hacks seriously when you gave a pass to mass protests and riots.

What?! Mass protests in every liberal city in America and you complained about this?! You have lost all credibility... Any shred you had left
