BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – CNN guest Dr. Rob Davidson expressed concern about the potential spread of the novel coronavirus at the White House, but praised the tens of thousands who showed up at the March on Washington the next day.
“I was very concerned about the White House event last night, 1500 people packed shoulder-to-shoulder, the head of the coronavirus task force in attendance without a mask with his family, his elderly mother without a mask. And it’s concerning,” Davidson told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.
“Are you concerned about the 50,000 that marched on Washington that were mostly black,” asked Cooper.
“Not really,” answered Davis. “My concern is numbers, not politics. If a few hundred blacks dropped dead from the coronavirus during the march, that’s just a small percentage of them and we could easily bus in some new ones to take their place. But if a few hundred people died on the White House lawn, that number will be noticeable and it will prove that President Trump is not taking the disease serious.”
