From WATE,
In Knoxville, hundreds of unmasked people gathered to show their support for their president. The gathering was inside with little to no social distancing.
"The rally was organized by Tennessee Senator Mark Pody (TN District 17, east of Nashville). He says this rally had a dual purpose; to support the president, but to also encourage Tennesseans to go to Georgia to help campaign in the Senate runoff election."
This rally was held at the same time Knox County was reaching a record high of hospitalized coronavirus patients. In addition cases jumped 32 percent on Monday, Dec. 7, 2020. 189 Knox County residents have died from the coronavirus, 62 deaths in November and already 22 deaths in December.
It brought to the Mr's mind a song by John Prine, Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore.
The song was about the Vietnam War, but applies to the pandemic situation in the United States.
