Again with this asshole.

was asked whether people should be wearing masks at Trump’s upcoming rally in Tulsa.

“Well, OK, probably so,” Kudlow said, before speculating that the rise of hospitalizations related to the novel coronavirus are due to how elective procedures now being permitted.

So now elective procedures are causing a rise in COVID-19 cases?
He just doesn’t get it!

Will they encourage attendees to wear a mask? Will they prevent attendees from murdering anyone who shows up in a mask?

They asked the virus for comment. It replied, ‘f**k your feelings…If you feed the dog, the dog is gonna eat.’.

JFC. Reality has no place in these empty heads. Obviously nothing else does.

It’s only fitting that he should cap off four years of superspreading a metaphorical virus by superspreading a real one.

Too bad the people who will pick up all the secondary infections didn’t have a chance to sign away their rights too.

"I’m also concerned about our ability to ensure the President stays safe as well.”

Meh. Have Trump sign his own waiver of any claim against Tulsa. The president of the party of personal responsibility and his entourage should, in the words of Sen. Lankford, "take responsibility for their own health.”

". . . we’re not talking about a second round here,” Kudlow said.

True, we’re talking about a spike in cases during the first round.

Wonderful! We’ve discovered yet another subject about which Kudlow knows even less than he knows about economics.

The plan is to ignore the virus and extinguish its behavior. It’s operant conditioning.

Please proceed.

You could easily look at the infection rate there, the incubation period, and the population to get a rough number of infected people in that room. I just did. Don’t quote me because I’m a word guy but with my back-of-the-envelope figgerins they might well have two or three hundred infected people in that crowd who don’t know it yet. So good luck Tulsa is all I can say.

Beyond stupid. Where do they even find them?

O/T but not really.

Just got back from a trip to Salem, OR. We passed by a well known intersection on the outskirts of town–featuring a house that is the location of a wretched hive of Trumpian scum and villainy. There was a large gathering in progress (A Trumpian birthday party???)–Probably 30 vehicles (mostly large, manly pickup trucks), and 50-75 people. Lots of US flags, Trump signs, and (likely) guns in evidence. No social distancing taking place, no face masks being worn.

Oregon had a significant increase in cases this week, mostly in Eastern Oregon. I am sure there will be new cases arising from this gathering of citizens.

Not wearing a mask is the right thing to do… they should be mass hugging and kissing…

Well, that settles it: since the man has never been right about anything substantive we’ve got a big second round coming for sure.

BTW, I am not ‘fazed’ by the high risk of C-19 contagion at the GOPer rally in Tulsa either. Just say’n.

We’re not talking about a second round here, Kudlow said.

Technically true because Tulsa is still fighting the first round. (Source: https://www.tulsa-health.org/COVID19)
