According to an article in The Arizona Mirror, one of those who plans to attend the rally said, “This is a gathering of patriots, not an organized event by any group or individual. We will each be responsible for ourselves and practice physical distancing to the extent feasible.”

There you go.

If attendees are planning to “practice physical distancing to the extent feasible” then they realize the need for such distancing in order to inhibit the spread of the virus and therefore the number of COVID-19 cases.

In other words, the rally is a bad idea.
