Relative to concerns about this weekend’s events in Tulsa, Juneteenth was peaceful. The rally on June 20 drew approximately 6,200 attendees, only about 1/3 of BOK’s capacity: (https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/06/21/turnout-at-trumps-tulsa-rally-was-just-under-6200a-fraction-of-the-venues-19200-capacity/#12d8e4cb1fed ). Again, we should know within 2 weeks about super-spreading from this indoor event. Tulsa was experiencing a spike in cases in the days before the event.
About 1/3 of COVID-19 appropriation for testing is unspent: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/top-democrats-say-trump-sitting-14-billion-coronavirus-testing-contact-n1231688 (link replaced 11/9/21).
