when it came to New Hampshire and Nevada.

South Carolina is do or die for Biden. He has to win. Sanders is already looking forward to Super Tuesday.

but the time has come for candidates to stop having them... using online forums and other media to make your speeches...

but with this existential threat to potentially hundreds of thousands to millions of people here, it is just time to stop with the unnecessary risks.

We've known about COVID-19 for a long time. It's not going to just stop. We already know of asymptomatic carriers.

Or was it suddenly time to stop the rallies immediately after the one state he was projected to win?

Covid-19 can be spread to anyone within 6 feet of someone with the illness and only slight symptoms (it can be completely asymptomatic).

For anyone holding rallies right now, is the height of malpractice while we criticize Trump's response to the pandemic.

And why I am saying it NOW is because of the recent cases of someone catching the virus here from "community" and not a specific vector (like travel to China or affected region or contact with a known victim). Two days ago we had our first, now we have 3... and we have had 1 death.

Stop the rallies... anybody's rally... not just Bernie.
