North Carolina's top health official says mass gatherings like the Republican National Convention will be a 'very big challenge' if COVID-19 cases continue to increase in the state, as they are currently.

But McDaniel said that the first week of July will be a critical period for planners. If state public health mandates are in place that would require an altered convention, the GOP would then begin working to modify its convention.

The Republican convention's Charlotte host committee, which must raise $70 million to bring the event to the city, said Thursday that its"advanced planning and thorough organization have kept us ahead of schedule, and we will continue to plan while following local and state guidelines."Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's order allows for venues like Charlotte's Spectrum Center to hold sporting events or concerts in Phase 2.

Cohen said the provision was included to allow venues to hold events that could be broadcast or streamed on the web."That would be a spectator in my mind," Cohen said."They would be sitting in the spectator's part of the Spectrum Center. And these are the kind of details we would work out with the RNC. But the staff that we meant are the ones who actually work at the Spectrum Center.

It's possible that Phase 2 could be relaxed, or the state could enter Phase 3, which would allow more people to gather at one time."If we continue to see our numbers go up and we aren't in a different position, then mass gatherings are going to be a very big challenge," she said.

It’s disgusting Republicans are willing to overexpose people in NC and then send everyone back home to each state. They’re OK with sacrificing Grandparents to Trump’s need for a rally in his honor. Cancel it. His meltdown will be epic. Free ads for Biden.

Not a big deal, right?

Republicans should of course congregate in large numbers. Don’t forget to shake hands with everyone.

Please have it

Why do they need a convention? It’s a foregone conclusion they will nominate the orange moron with the weird hair.

If the Republicans believe a convention is the way to go, let them do it and suffer the consequences. They should not come to the hospital for care then. livewithyourdecisions coronavirus
