Recently, @BrighamWomens had a COVID-19 outbreak among 20+ patients & staff. We rapidly traced and tested all contacts and advised quarantine. We deployed PCR testing in <24 hours for ~9,000 staff. We ID’d 52 total cases associated w the cluster and are containing the outbreak.
The White House now has an outbreak involving 20+ guests and staff. They have done no tracing, no broad testing. And the outbreak is spreading outward. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/02/us/politics/trump-contact-tracing-covid.html
Not included in the @nytimes list are eleven more among debate prep staff reported by Cleveland public health authorities https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/cleveland/cleveland-11-cases-after-presidential-debate/95-74828d32-8c97-4b24-81e5-209689df6a86
Plus there are the secondary infections – such as reporter Michael Shear’s wife and Kelly Ann Conway’s daughter https://www.axios.com/white-house-coronavirus-cases-reporters-316b4da7-8f98-4973-87fd-0b42561f870a.html https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ny-claudia-conway-coronavirus-tiktok-20201004-dixbid2y65ezno65cnrro2npm4-story.html
The White House's unwillingness to fight the virus, even when it has hit its own staff and supporters, is insanity. Actual insanity. The GOP opposition to a national test, trace, and mask strategy is catastrophic. There is nothing partisan about going on offense against the virus
