Another Old Rainbow
Yesterday, it was announced that two people who had attended a Trump superspreader rally in North Carolina only seven days ago had tested positive for COVID-19. I suspect it's likely that more who were there have been infected, as well, but most probably just haven't been tested. Also, more people have possibly been infected who weren't at the event but have come in contact with those who were. But those are "possiblies" or "likelies." All we know for absolute sure is that two have.
In related news, later in the day Trump announced on Twitter than an upcoming rally in North Carolina has been cancelled. The reason, he said, was bad weather and high winds. Yes, right, really. This is the same campaign that just had a rally in Nebraska in sub-freezing temperatures, and left everyone there stranded, sending at least a half-dozen people to the hospitals So, concern of the weather seems highly improbable.
It's even more improbable when you know that the 10-day forecast for the area is for temperatures in the 70s and normal wind.
So, yeah, that was the reason it was cancelled -- bad weather and the wind. Not that people from the last superspreader rally there a week ago tested positive for the coronavirus.
O, if only there was a vaccine cure, like the one that Trump insisted was coming in just weeks...
All of which made it fortuitous that by chance yesterday I came across a video by Randy Rainbow from several months back which, for whatever reason, I missed. And the subject of his song parody is a nice fit.
