That’s a lot of maskless folk.

KellyAnne did not test positive. She tested alternative negative.

I was just coming here to post about Stepiens.

Senator Thom Tillis. Also on the judiciary committee.

I count 18 positives in that picture

Does the caption mean to imply that Ms. Barrett is to blame for the spread of the virus? Why not blame any of the other 17?

[jon-nyc]

Blame is non-rivalrous in consumption.

Blame everyone who didn’t wear a mask and practice social distancing. Doesn’t really matter who the patient zero was.

It probably wasn’t ACB as she had it over the summer I believe.

Not all 18 are positive. In the picture above, only the people with their name listed are positive (when the picture was published). The highlighted people are either US senator or people close to PResident Trump who were near people who were positive and now maybe have higher chance of getting it.

Senator Ron Johnson:

I would find it interesting to know if any of the media onsite that evening have tested positive...

I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to find one or two, probably young, healthy, and female.

Christie

[jon-nyc]

Was he at the Jersey fundraiser?

[jon-nyc]

Not sure I’d want to face this virus in Christie’s condition.

Actually he helped Trump prep for the debate.

[jon-nyc]

Christie previously said he was not at President Donald Trump’s fundraiser at the Bedminster golf course Thursday, but had spent four mask-less days inside with Trump earlier in the week to prepare for the presidential debate.

He was also spotted in the Rose Garden last Saturday for the formal nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Following the ceremony — where masks were scarce and social distancing largely ignored — video footage captured Christie embracing other attendees.

With the money these guys spend on bodyguards, you'd think somebody might have twigged...

So while I think most likely this is a natural spread of the virus, I can easily imagine a Hollywood style plot of “someone” deliberately infecting a person they knew would eventually be exposed to Trump and then the ripple effect of the people around him.

To some, nothing is natural around Trump...
