This was not spread by some asymptomatic person ANYONE with a viral load this large to infect all these people would not have been able to pass the testing procedures to get into the WH!! This virus was brought into the event in an aerosol bottle!!
Not at all, a pre symptomatic person could easily shed enough virus to infect everyone within a few meters of them. Japan and Korea both have published papers showing contagion at 4 meters in a still air environment such as indoors or in a bus in the Japanese paper. There was an inside reception after the outside ceremony where there was hugging and hand shakes and close contacts it’s absolutely probable that one of those who later showed symptoms was already shedding virus at that inside event.
You don’t know that. The lawyer in New Rochelle spread it to 300 people. He got it from caterers at a function he attended. Parts of New Rochelle within a mile of his home were locked down.
That makes a lot of sense.
