I have said-they should in a display of solidarity just walk out.

The present circumstances warrant choosing a single representative of the media to present a limited number of questions at every press event. No need to put all these people in one limited space when we are being asked to maintain a safe social distance. Stop feeding Mr. Trump's insatiable demand for attention.
