Heartland hotspots: A sudden rise in coronavirus cases is hitting rural states without stay-at-home orders - CNNPolitics https://t.co/Tevx8v076u

The story is about Oklahoma, which hasn't imposed a firm "stay at home" order.  Keep in mind opening stadia to rallys (or even football games) is up to the states; or even to localities, depending on state law.  In Texas the city could decide the football stadium it owns (football teams never pay for those things) should stay closed, for example.  Nothing Gov. Abbott could do about that; much less President Trump.  The big stadium in Austin is on UT campus; guess who controls that, and doesn't want responsibility for a resurgence of covid-19 anytime soon?

And now Trump says:  "We'll be back!"

Since shifting online on March 13, Trump campaign has capitalized on its large digital infrastructure:

Yeah, not his decision.  And the Trump campaign has notoriously stiffed many a city where he showed up, sticking them with the extra expense of the security costs associated with a visit by the POTUS.  Sharply lowered economic activity means all those cities are hurting for revenues, and won't be inviting the POTUS to come visit anytime soon.  And if they do, they're going to pay a hefty price in viral loading, not just in expenses.

I think even the people in Oklahoma will say that's too high a price to pay.
