ACB tested positive over the summer, but recovered:
Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this year but has since recovered, three officials familiar with her diagnosis told The Washington Post.
Two of the officials said she tested positive for the virus in the summer. All of the people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose her medical condition.
The White House declined to comment on Barrett’s earlier diagnosis.
As the Supreme Court nominee, Barrett is now tested daily and most recently had a negative test for covid-19 Friday morning, according to deputy White House press secretary Judd Deere.
Deere said she was last with President Trump, who has tested positive for the virus, on Saturday, at her Rose Garden ceremony announcing her nomination to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Barrett has been on the Hill at least three times this week, meeting with roughly 30 senators in one-on-one meetings to discuss her nomination. -

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?
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.

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 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...
