Okay then...where was the President and all these people who got infected last Saturday? Do they all have a common place they all were?
They were ALL at the SCOTUS nomination ceremony and reception!!!
One thing a single photo cannot do is demonstrate that a lot of mixing goes on before and after one of these events. Also we do not know whether masks were used while people werer arriving and leaving and therefore removed for the presentation, but the people were sitting in theater seating mode, and they are not allowing this even at sports arena events. So I would say the nomination event was a little too open and too closely packed for my taste. People like Christy were involved in debate prep so had more chances to be with the President. I would suspect that the main cause was the seating arragement and number of invitees — and next whether any people were seated without recent tests. Did they even require testing for visitors to the Rose garden? To the oval office, yes I can see that, and also to the white house staff but event attendees may have had an exemption.

The event at the Rose Garden was on sat Sept. 26 and it was being held while President Trump introduced Amy Cony Barret as his pick for the supreme court vacancy. All of the people that tested positive were there for the ceremony except I do not think Senator Ron Johnson and Chris Christie were there. Lee, Tillis, Conway, Hope Hicks and Melania were there as were Bill Barr, Mitch Mconnell,Lindsey Graham and others. I just happened to watch it and I saw them all there.
Lee and Tillis are both senators on the judicial committee.
