As for the rally, there will be temperature checks, masks and hand sanitizer:
Every attendee in Henderson, #Nevada at the indoor event “will get a temperature check prior to admission, be provided a mask they’re encouraged to wear and have access to plenty of hand sanitizer,” according to @TeamTrump.

Dems, however, are cheering for deaths:
Someone will die. Ask the Cain family. Ask those infected at the Sturgiss event. @realDonaldTrump could lead by example and save lives. Instead he puts lives at risk and then has first class dopes defend him.
