I appreciate the torrent of important journalism in the last week. Thank you @JenniferJJacobs, @peterbakernyt,
, @maggieNYT especially.

This seems important too:

When did Amy Coney Barrett know she had #COVID19 ? Latest summer is Sept. 21 which overlaps Sept. 28 by 7 days.

"Most people with coronavirus who have symptoms will no longer be contagious by 10 days after symptoms resolve. People who test positive for the virus but never develop symptoms over the following 10 days after testing are probably no longer contagious, ">

>"but again there are documented exceptions. So some experts are still recommending 14 days of isolation."

This CNN piece mentions the timing for Barrett:

"Judge Amy Coney Barrett, the President& #39;s nominee for the US Supreme Court, was diagnosed with coronavirus late this summer but has recovered, according to three sources familiar with the matter." https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/02/politics/amy-coney-barrett-coronavirus-supreme-court-nominee/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/0...

The timing matters. If she was within two weeks or so of the WH event she could have been contagious.
