Has there been any discussion of limiting campaign rallies?

Maybe this has been discussed - I didn't see it.

It seems like these rallies can't be good for containing the virus, and present some risk (probably small) to our candidates.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

That was announced a few days ago. COVID-19 put an end to that nonsense.

I know that Biden, Bernie, and Trump have all cancelled rallies, and I don't see coronavirus going away enough in the next few months to change that. Plus, Trump has it wrapped up, and Biden is making it more wrapped up each week.
