Trump defends holding campaign rallies even as coronavirus spreads

CNN  

Washington CNN — President Donald Trump said Monday he thinks it’s “very safe” to continue hosting crowded campaign rallies around the country even as his administration contends with a growing outbreak of coronavirus in the United States. Trump said Democratic presidential candidates should be presented with the same question about hosting rallies in the age of coronavirus, though in the past he’s made a point of denigrating the size of his rivals’ crowds. Trump’s business-as-usual approach to his campaign schedule came as his administration finds itself consumed by responding to the outbreak, which has spread to 10 states and killed two people in the United States. “We’re talking about a vaccine, maybe a cure, it’s possible, we’ll see about that,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Monday.
