“Joe Biden and Anderson Cooper are making a point of social distancing during the CNN Town Hall while on the stage.

The tweet came after Cooper informed viewers at the top of the program that he would keep his distance from Biden in following coronavirus guidelines.

"As you can see, I’m not wearing a mask tonight. I tested negative for coronavirus this morning. Still, I’ll be keeping my distance, as will all of the participants in tonight's town hall who are here," Cooper said at the top of the drive-in town hall from Moosic, Pa.

The Biden-Cooper close exchange quickly drew reactions, mostly from conservatives, on social media.
