A team of CNN journalists left a rally held by Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler over fears that it would become a coronavirus superspreader event.
CNN correspondent Kyung Lah and her team left the rally Wednesday citing a lack of safety precautions.
Ms Lah explained in a tweet that the rally - which was meant to drive up support for Senator David Perdue in his upcoming runoff election against Democrat John Ossoff - was held in a windowless room and that many of the attendees were not wearing masks, despite recent spikes in Covid-19 infectious throughout the nation.
The tweet contains a photo showing rows of people standing shoulder to shoulder. Few faces are visible, but those that are appear mask-less.

(25,896 posts)There were more masks than you might expect, but not enough of them and some were improperly worn. My first though was, "how many in this room will not live long enough to vote in the runoff?"
