Can he do that? Is that his call? I'd have said it's the National Republican Committee's decision, though I don't know that for sure.

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?

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.

Let’s hope either biology or science saves us soon. Leadership sure isn’t going to.

This is what new cases look like in NC. They reopened Friday.

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.

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.

Let’s all hope for a big dose of seasonality.

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)
