Donald Trump's long-awaited rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma is slated to take place soon, but those attending it need bear in mind that the campaign is not liable if they contract coronavirus. In short, attendees will not be able to sue the campaign if they contract coronavirus. Rallygoers are urged to RSVP to acquire entry to the event and while registering, they must also agree to a disclaimer that states they recognize the inherent risk of exposure to the virus is in any public place where people are present.

The disclaimer states that by attending the Rally, the attendee voluntarily assumes the risks of exposure to COVID-19 and will not hold the president, ASM Global, BOK Center, Inc., or any of their employees, officers, directors, affiliates, agents, volunteers or contractors liable for any sort of illness or injury. Trump's campaign confirmed that the president's first campaign will be held at the BOK Center's indoor venue on July 19 since most of the country continues to remain shut down to restrict the spread of coronavirus.

The rally announcement is in line with the constantly increasing cases in some regions of the United States, while others witness a downward trend or are simply holding steady. With over 2 million people infected by the virus nationally, more than 112,000 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University's data.

Catherine Sharkey, who works as a law professor at the New York University School of Law suggests disclaimers such as the Trump campaign are likely to become a part of the American lifestyle as the nation reopens amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sharkey notes that the waiver provides only base-level protection against accountability, CNN reported.

Explaining that waivers only offer limited protections, Sharkey said they do not protect against incidents such as overall negligence or carelessness. Referring t the upcoming event, she noted that one could argue that holding a massive public gathering will bring people together, leaving them no choice but to ignore social distancing and other CDC guidance, claiming that it is grossly negligent.

Trump has been waiting with bated breath to return on the trail since in-person campaigning was canceled. The president's campaign had initially planned to restart rallies in July but had to postpone it as more states started reopening businesses and a large number of demonstrators have taken to the streets of America in the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of a white police officer last month.
