On Thursday's broadcast of CNN's "OutFront," CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta stated that the event setup for President Trump's upcoming speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention that will take place from the South Lawn of the White House shows that "they don't seem to be taking the coronavirus very seriously." Acosta stated that this is because there will be a large number of attendees, who will "be sitting shoulder to shoulder," and "we can see many of the attendees are not wearing masks."
