Another false equivalence

 
Trump's enablers and defenders have been arguing that there is no difference in terms of a public health risk of being potential super-spreader events between his rallies and the BLM protests.

Here is why the comparison is bogus.

BLM protest

Trump Rally, Tulsa Oklahoma

BLM Protest

Trump Rally, Tulsa Oklahoma

To recap: BLM was outdoors (lower transmission risk) while Trump's rally was indoors (higher transmission risk); and masks were the norm at the BLM protest (lower transmission risk) while they were the exception and the Trump rally (higher transmission risk).
