BREAKING—WH has completely cut CDC out of any contact tracing of the #SCOTUSNomination rose garden event. WH has decided not to trace contacts of guests & staff members of the Amy Coney Barrett event even though 8 attendees have tested #COVID19 positive. nytimes.com/2020/10/05/hea…
2) “Instead, it has limited its efforts to notifying people who came in close contact with Mr. Trump in the two days before his Covid diagnosis Thursday evening” 🤦🏻♂️
This is totally inadequate. Incubation is around 5 days if not as long as 14 days until symptoms show!!! #COVID19

3) Furthermore, we need to contract tract much faster too! Because infectiousness can start days before symptoms—thus anyone could be already transmitting if we test and trace to slowly! #COVID19 
BREAKING: Another WH rose garden #COVID19 positive case—Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California who was at both the Prayer March on the Mall with Mike Pence and Franklin Graham and #SCOTUSNomination event same day. That makes 31, 4 new today.
2) they are all testing positive now because the typical incubation time range of ~2-14 days is hitting right smack in the middle of that range from that previous weekend of #SCOTUSNomination event.
3) And yes, you can be INFECTIOUS even before you either show symptoms or before you test positive, which has maximum test positive likelihood when you first show symptoms. But you can be contagious before before any of these.

I’m old enough to remember when Senators attempted, at least in public, to avoid breaking their word. The #SCOTUS confirmation process is broken. #ACB is the jurisprudential inverse of #RBG. But a singular focus on the #SCOTUSnominee is a trap for Dems. twitter.com/i/events/13082…
Senate Democrats have demonstrated that they are not interested in truth or justice. The clear lack of supporting evidence and witnesses and the withholding of information suggest a coordinated campaign designed to smear Judge #Kavanaugh.
Chairman @ChuckGrassley and his colleagues have taken the allegations against Judge #Kavanaugh seriously. I support the work of the @senjudiciary Committee, which is investigating these claims through a fair process.
This week both sides will be given an opportunity to share their stories under oath, and then we should move forward. These unsubstantiated, politically-motivated accusations should not further delay the consideration of this well-regarded, highly-qualified nominee. #SCOTUS
