Killing their own

Donald Trump’s election campaign rallies have been linked to tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases and hundreds of deaths, a Stanford University report found, as the United States president continues to hold large events just three days before the November 3 vote.

Released on Friday, the report by Stanford economics department researchers examined COVID-19 infection rates in 18 places across the country where Trump held campaign rallies between June 20 and September 30.

It then compared the post-rally infection rates in those counties with COVID-19 case rates in 18 comparable counties where rallies were not held.

The rallies “ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 incremental confirmed cases of COVID-19” and “likely led to more than 700 deaths”, the researchers found.
