All it took for the media to remember the coronavirus pandemic and the dangers of big crowds was for President Trump to announce plans for campaign rallies, apparently. A commentary by Leah Barkoukis at Townhall cited a warning from NPR after the Trump campaign announced its plans.
NPR said the rallies will take place "despite the deadly coronavirus pandemic, which continues to impact the lives and livelihoods of households across the country."
But Barkoukis pointed out that protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody "have been carried out in every state in the nation, in small towns and large cities alike with gatherings of hundreds to thousands of people."
