Public Health Officials warning that the rally has the potential to be a superspreader event. Maybe they think that it will get lost among the soaring numbers of coronavirus cases in california, in florida, in arizona. All, seeing recordhigh numbers. And the World Health Organization is warning were in a, quote, new and dangerous phase of the pandemic. Maybe, they
