This Weekend
“President Donald Trump staged a rally in Minden on Saturday after officials rebuffed similar airport rallies in Reno and Las Vegas, citing Nevada’s months-long ban on gatherings of more than 50 people during the coronavirus pandemic. Trump — speaking to a crowd of at least 5,000 largely maskless supporters densely packed on the Tarmac at Minden-Tahoe. The president regularly interrupted himself to boast about the size of his crowd gathered in Carson Valley”

“‘Open up your state’: Trump defies Nevada Gov. with indoor rally near Las Vegas. The president’s decision to host Sunday night’s rally — his second in as many days in Nevada with more than 50 people — was described by the governor as “reckless and selfish. ‘President Donald Trump is taking reckless and selfish actions that are putting countless lives in danger here in Nevada,’ Sisolak said in the statement. ‘The President appears to have forgotten that this country is still in the middle of a global pandemic.’”
New York Post

The Trump indoor event of THOUSANDS, came as US coronavirus deaths neared 200,000. “Trump has long viewed rallies as an outlet where he can connect with his supporters in a way that he can't when he's in Washington, DC, and has blamed bad poll numbers on his absence from the campaign trail.”
CNN

At the same time
“The CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports, a public report compiled by scientists that's served as the key communication avenue between the CDC and health care providers, researchers, journalists and the public since the 1980s, has been tinkered with when CDC findings didn't align with President Donald Trump's public statements about coronavirus.”
