An Obama spokesman now tells People that the party will be a lot smaller than initially hoped. “This party has been planned for months and is therefore prepared to comply with all measures to prevent the spread of the virus.

Obama, through the spokesman, said he was very pleased with the birthday wishes from around the world. He looks forward to seeing the guests who can’t come at a later date.
