Transferred to a different hospital, into ICU Dec 23.

When/where was he infected?
This article from Dec 9, 2020 said “Letlow is planning to travel to Washington, D.C. this week with his wife, Julia, to attend the White House Christmas Party.”
Did they go? 2/3 web.archive.org/web/2020123003…
If they did go to the WH, did this 41 year old dad die because Donald Trump, whose life was saved by a miracle drug that basically no one else has access to, insisted on inviting new GOP Congressmembers to maskless Christmas parties in the midst of a pandemic?
