Over the past 48 hrs 8 people at the Coney Barrett event have tested positive for COVID.
WH is clearly responsible for a growing COVID outbreak. How are they doing contact tracing? Who's in charge? Are they working w/DC, state health agencies?
We need answers, this am, from the WH abt how they're working to mitigate this dangerous COVID outbreak.
Not only was there no masking/social distancing but MANY people who attended violated DC quarantine requirements, incl Coney Barrett and her family. washington.org/dc-information…
Serious questions now about Coney Barrett's judgement.
She/her family violated DC quarantine requirements; she allowed her children to attend crowded events maskless; she's also refusing to quarantine despite coming into contact w/MULTIPLE positives.
Another twist - the respected pandemic expert @Laurie_Garrett suggests that given the trail of infections we are seeing it's possible that Coney Barrett herself is the one spreading the virus.
The more we come to understand about what happened that Saturday of the Coney Barrett introduction, the more reckless and just plain crazy it all seems. The Judge violated CDC protocols, endangered her children, disregarded DC public health requirements.

As a DC resident want my electeds @MayorBowser @marycheh to explain why a super spreader event like this was allowed to happen in DC; what they are doing to prevent further spread; and whether we need to force Coney Barrett into a 14 day isolation RIGHT NOW.
We also should be told whether the same level of care and access to experimental medicines are being offered to all those around the President who've been infected - or are those things only available to him?
Is the WH still a maskless place? How do we stop the madness?
The WH and Trump campaign/GOP (Trump hotel events) have been bringing in people from all over the country w/o requiring them to follow DC quarantine protocols for months. It's an ongoing and unbelievable scandal.
Mr. Law and Order refuses to follow the rules put in place to keep the nation safe.
