Tulsa City-County Health Department Director: “I’m concerned about our ability to protect anyone who attends a large, indoor event, and I’m also concerned about our ability to ensure the president stays safe as well. … I wish we could postpone this to a time when the virus isn’t as large a concern as it is today.”

Health officials warn that Trump’s rally is “extraordinarily dangerous” and could be the “perfect storm” for coronavirus to spread.
