‘ In total, at this time, we are aware of 11 cases stemming from pre-debate planning and set-up, with the majority of cases occurring among out of state residents.'

They said no city residents appear so far to have contracted the virus as a result of this event.

were infected at some prior event. Then showed up at the debate, most weren't wearing masks.
Cleveland clinic didn't test them for covid, but rather assumed they were all tested based on "honor system."
There should have been enforcement of mask rules and they should have been escorted out, but of course they weren't.
All of this makes me furious.

Hicks was likely not the initial super spreader but just the first one of them to show symptoms.

you see, when you shamelessly violate your own precedent that you earlier set and nominate a supreme court justice in a blatantly hypocritical way, then this type of thing happens.

When will they learn...

there was a simple press conference to announce the nomination of Merrick Garland. In those pre-covid times there was no grave dancing party with as many chairs as they could jam in there.
