Harvey Fineberg reality checked the president, who hopes to hold a 'good old-fashioned 25,000-person' rally in the not-too-distant-future.
“It doesn’t care whether you have a rally for political reasons, for a sporting event, for a choir that’s going to sing together, for a musical festivity,” Fineberg said. “It doesn’t make any difference.”
“The virus spreads through proximity of one person who’s infected to others who are not infected. The larger the numbers, the more likely infection will spread. The longer the time together, the more likely infection will spread,” Fineberg continued. “Shouting, singing, cheering are all things that help the virus to spread from one person through droplets, that are visible and invisible, from one person to another.
“In short, bringing together 25,000 people for any reason in a closed space for any length of time while this virus is still present is not a good idea,” he concluded."Bringing together 25,000 people for any reason in a closed space for any length of time while this virus is still present is not a good idea." - Dr. Harvey V.
