    They’ll do what says, ultimately.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      By the way, the venue holds 20,000 people.

          20,000 people meet up who don't fully believe in the seriousness of the Covid situation.

          What could possibly go wrong?

          I was only joking

                If Trump wants to move the Republican National Convention, let him move it.

                Same if he wants to have "traditional megarallies" with huge number of supporters tightly gathered in one place. There are so many states with no formal social distancing restrictions, many of them in firm Republican control, that will let Trump hold whatever rallies he wants to hold.

                  Voter turnout might be a bit low come November.

                            The good news for NC is after the convention you may not see a spike in the state since everyone will go back to their own states.

                              Or not.

                              My point was that if 20,000 republicans get together in a big rally, there might be quite a few less republicans available to vote in November.

                              This isn't about politics.

                                  My prediction is that Trump will not have the balls to actually move the convention, or to actually have a traditional convention with large number of people packed in one place. Trump will continue to complain and blame-shift and that will be that.

                                    Can this be explained by more testing?

                                    Most data I see is every other day load. Would helpful to smooth that fact out.

                                      testing is declining and positive rate is pretty stable. (helpfully they add a 7-day moving average)

                                          I don't have a prediction.

                                          I can't see NC giving him a guarantee. How could they? They could give some carefully worded 'if-things-go-as-we-expect' or something, leaving themselves an out. But will he move it based on that?

                                          Not sure if he wants to move it anyway, or if he'd ultimately accept a partial audience as long as he could blame the NC governor. We'll see soon enough.
