Unrest In Tulsa!

They coming. Despite a global COVID-19 pandemic, Trump holds his rallies.
The city of Tulsa is expecting unrest in the wake of Trump campaign rally and protests against racism and police brutality.

The Donald J. Trump Presidential Campaign will hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The rally is controversial because we're in a COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has killed over 140,000 Americans and it's no end in sight.

This rally is going to be a large gathering despite warnings from state and federal officials.

This event will spark unrest in the city. Years ago, a dirty cop killed Terrence Crutcher. She walked and the family never got justice. This incident along with many incidents of police and vigilantes killing Black people has made this area "ground zero" for a potential violent encounter.

The Oklahoma State Supreme Court has ruled that Trump can hold his rally. It was a last minute attempt from state health officials to have Trump postpone his rally.






Tulsa's mayor G.T. Bynum is facing heat from both sides. He is trying to keep his community safe while trying to please Republicans who want to see Trump speak.
Trump holds his rally at the BOK Center in Tulsa. The city is expected to have unrest once he arrives.
The city's dark history also comes to light. The 1921 terrorist attack in Tulsa was the deliberate massacre of Black residents in Greenwood, a once prominent neighborhood dubbed "Black Wall Street." A white woman claimed a Black man raped and assaulted her. White terrorist set fire to businesses and homes. They dragged Black people out of their homes and lynched them.

The Greenwood district is located about one mile from the BOK Center, the rally's location.

Those who attend this rally are facing an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19. It does exists in any public place where people are present. Those who attend will voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. They won't be able to sue Trump, BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.

Trump faced backlash over a tweet during protests after the recent death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd, an African American man, that said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." The phrase evoked a white segregationist who was police chief in the 1960s, though Trump later said he was unaware of its origins.
People gathered outside the center. It's expected that some will not wear facial protection and  exposing themselves to COVID-19.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, a veteran civil rights activist set to address a Juneteenth event in Tulsa later on Friday, called Trump's tweet "disrespectful," especially following the recent deaths of Floyd and another African American man, Rayshard Brooks, in Atlanta.

Here's a map.



Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.

1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.

According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
Ccme hell or high water, Trump wants to campaign. We have a global pandemic, an economic recession and civil unrest.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.

Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
