The COVID-19 death toll is now 112,096 in the US, 40,465 in the UK and 401,607 worldwide. The coronavirus, the quarantines and the stay-at-home orders inspired Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to write Living In A Ghost Town. The latest Rolling Stones single reached #3 on Billboard's Rock Songs chart and #6 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart. Here it is:

Coincidence? I think not!

King Donald the First will hold a political rally in Tulsa June 20. Why does he need to hold a rally? He doesn't – but he wants to keep his blindly loyal supporters stirred up by spewing lies, accusations, conspiracy theories and anti-Democrat, anti-immigrant rhetoric. White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow is urging rallygoers to wear face coverings – but Trump never wears a face covering in public and it is unlikely many of his supporters will. Tulsa Health Department Director Bruce Dart thinks the rally should be postponed because COVID-19 spreads more rapidly indoors and among crowds. Of course nobody tells King Donald what to do. Nobody.

Saying "I don't feel I'm in danger," King Donald refused to wear a face mask at tonight's pointless, unnecessary rally in Tulsa. As for the smaller-than-expected crowds, it's the news media's fault! It's the fault of protesters! Spoiler alert: The smaller-than-expected crowds were not the fault of protesters or the news media – but King Donald has to blame somebody.
Trump campaign blames 'radical' protesters, media for lack of crowd size
CNN, Jun 20 2020 5:05 PM
The Trump Campaign is trying to blame "radical" protesters, even saying some were allegedly blocking metal detectors, for frightening off some of the President's supporters from attending the campaign events today in Tulsa. Several CNN teams on the ground said they did not see any of that type of activity near the event site. There were protesters in the downtown area, although there was a large security perimeter preventing them from getting within blocks of the arena where the rally is being held.
"President Trump is rallying in Tulsa with thousands of energetic supporters, a stark contrast to the sleepy campaign being run by Joe Biden from his basement in Delaware. Sadly, protesters interfered with supporters, even blocking access to the metal detectors, which prevented people from entering the rally. Radical protesters, coupled with a relentless onslaught from the media, attempted to frighten off the President's supporters. We are proud of the thousands who stuck it out," campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told CNN.
CNN teams on the ground, including one that has been at the main entrance nearly all day, said they have seen no evidence of protesters entering the security gates. Gary Tuchman, who reported from various locations in downtown and spoke with multiple supporters, said nobody mentioned the problems referenced in the statement. And Abby Phillip reported that when she went through security to the overflow area there were very few people coming in and that it was not possible for protesters to access the metal detectors.
