Much is being made of the sparse crowd at tonight's Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Yes, it is an indication that Trump's act is getting old and is a sign that the writing is on the big beautiful wall which was never built. But there are other things we must consider.
While the crowd was well short of the 19,199 capacity of the BOK Arena there was a congregation of people in an indoor space with neither masks nor social distancing who heard Trump talk for 100 minutes.
Given these conditions we might not be laughing about the size of the crowd if tonight's rally results in an outbreak in the next two weeks. Let us not forget another rally has been scheduled for Phoenix in 72 hours from now. The concerns I expressed several hours ago remained unchanged - small crowd or not.
