After US President Donald Trump was counting on a huge electoral rally he was planning to organize in Talsa, Oklahoma, to relaunch his campaign to win a second term, he was called to cancel it due to the risks of the spread of the Corona virus, after he had to delay it for a day due to the symbolism of space and time.
Trump announced Friday that the festival, which was originally scheduled for June 19, the day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, would be postponed to a day - out of Respect for History - and what it represented,
The choice of Talsa, the city in 1921 that saw some of the worst ethnic unrest in American history, was a provocation after the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent mass demonstrations against racism and police violence against blacks. In a strongly worded editorial today, the local newspaper "Talsa World" considered the health risks from a crowded gathering in a closed place to be very large.
The newspaper’s editorial board considered that “the time is not right and Talsa is not the place to gather for Trump,” noting that the Corona epidemic continues to spread in Oklahoma even though it has allowed stores to reopen its doors.
Tension remains in camp in Talsa after the murder of the black American George Floyd upon his arrest by a white policeman, and Trump's presence in the city may spark demonstrations that the newspaper fears will turn into violence.- here too - you will find Talsa Alone in managing the situation at a time when the municipality's resources have been used to the maximum,- the editorial said..
Million requests
The director of municipal health services, Bruce Dart, warned Saturday in the same newspaper that the health situation is currently deteriorating in the city, after a mass funeral.

A huge gathering of 19 to 20 thousand people inside a hall poses a great danger today to Talsa, Dart said' adding,- I think it is an honor for Talsa to have a President come to visit us- But not during a pandemic.
Trump responded on Twitter today to calls to cancel the rally, stressing that his campaign team had received "about a million requests for tickets" to attend the festival. He accused "the false news media of the extreme left" of adopting double standards for the virus, stressing that she does not see "any problem with the rioters and the crackers who are destroying the democratic cities run" but "lending" his electoral gatherings.
"This will not help," he stressed, stressing that the high number of corona injuries in the United States is due to the country's superior ability to conduct examinations to detect injuries.
Saturday, Oklahoma recorded more than eight thousand cases, including 225 new cases within 24 hours, which is an unprecedented number for this state. The Trump campaign team warned that participants in its upcoming election festivals would have to sign a document pledging not to pursue any legal prosecutions if they contracted the virus on this occasion.
