20. Reuters spins it as they've "fallen in line" with Biden.

If anyone's pushing them, it's Sanders.

Just noted in Politico

Sanders doesn’t plan to limit rallies amid coronavirus outbreak. ... The Vermont senator’s aides in recent days have emphasized the length and frequency of his campaign events compared to Biden's, but Sanders batted away a question about whether his Democratic opponent is unable to handle the rigors of the campaign.

“No, no,” he said. “What we’re talking about is my schedule. … Joe Biden is a friend of mine, and Joe and I have disagreements on the issues. I do not make personal attacks on Joe.”


To the last. Obviously his viciously dirty attacks have been backfiring, and those of Senator Warren's voters who were drawn by her great can-do positivism are turning to Biden.

As for the main epidemic theme, Trump says he won't curtail rallies but for the first time has none scheduled. Sanders and Biden are continuing to campaign publicly at the height of the primary battle, consulting with "public health officials" where they're going, etc.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
