    I’d be pleasantly surprised if 60% DON’T wear a mask (i.e. 40% do). I’m predicting that, at most, 20-25% wear masks. That’s MY optimistic prediction.https://twitter.com/Atul_Gawande/status/1274338364267913217 …

    Here is my hopeful bet today. I bet most Trump rallyers know COVID19 is infectious before you feel sick, is much worse than flu, that some of them have the virus, and masks protect others and likely the wearer too. I also bet most (>60%) wear a mask. Which could avert disaster.

        That must be why we’ve had 120K deaths in less than four months while on lockdown.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

        19K older people in a closed indoors arena, shouting. What could go wrong. Dem politicians could have been more forceful in condemning the reckless stupidity but their approval of large scale BLM protests make that difficult, even though the protests were outdoors and lower risk

        In NY I’d say it’s in the > 60% range.

        The local news footage in Tulsa shows a crowd gathering of 50-60 people shoulder to shoulder. No social distancing. 1 mask that I saw. Everyone’s having a great time though 😔

        You don't wear a mask to a suicide rally.

        Given the level of lockstep groupthink, the extent to which this has become a tribal signal, and the undercurrents of intimidation and violence at these things, I'm expecting at most 20-25 wear masks. And I didn't forget the % sign.

        I'm betting more people bring them than wear them. I'd bet 15-20% arrive with masks, see folks not wearing one, take them off and put them in their pocket, not wanting to show disrespect to The Great Leader.

        @Atul_Gawande - Watch the live feeds of Trump supporters gathering for the rally. Not a single mask in sight. I'll bet most Trump rallyers believe that faith will protect them, and that the rest are willing to sacrifice themselves for their "freedoms"
