Updates as we move forward with a live blog below. The crowd looks to be about half the size expected.
The outdoor event was canceled because of minimal attendance.
Massive bullet-proof wall gets taken down as the media is being blamed. The Superpreader-Trump bragged about a million tickets, even as it seems now that many may have simply requested tickets with no intention of showing up. That would have not crowded out attendees, even as it now seems that the actual pandemic fear may have even scared off loyal Trumpists.
Six members of the Trump advance team have tested positive for COVID-19.
