Who were the children at the Barrett indoor event?

The second picture implies they were Barrett's children, since she had her arm around the boy,

It would be ironic if they were the asymptomatic spreaders at that event, delaying and HOPEFULLY preventing her Senate confirmation.

Barrett was infected back in June, so her immunity would've prevented her from getting infected by the kids at home.

1. Those are her kids.

She has 7 and they were all at the event without masks.

She clearly doesn't have good enough judgement to be on the Supreme Court.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Thanks! I assumed they were her kids...

... but I wasn't sure.

The crowd seemed to be closely fawning over them.

[ecstatic]

2. Wowzers! Have they all been tested? nt

[carpetbagger]

3. Yeah, with a test that's falsely negative half the time.

The good news is that the vast majority of kids (literal children, notwithstanding childlike behavior of the adults) do in fact do ok with this.

7. Children might have no symptoms at all and still be able

to infect others.
Amy had covid sometime over the summer. How long ago was that?

9. I read it was back in June. (Edit: Now late-summer.)

So if her kids were new carriers, she likely wouldn't know from them infecting her too.

I'm obviously just speculating that her kids could have been the main sources of infection at that event, but it struck me as a very ironic possibility.

[LisaL]

10. It also struck me as a possibility.

Like I said, children could be completely asymptomatic and still spread it around. And of course some of the people who are now turning up infected were in close proximity to the adorable little tykes. There is Trump next to a little girl, and I see Christie in there talking to the boy. Barr is talking to the boy, and while Barr claims he tested negative, as of today he decided to quarantine. Tillis is positive, and there is a photo of him with the child.
But who knows who the actual super spreader was in there? I mean, it could be anybody in there.

17. Do you have a link on "June"? Your posts are first I've seen.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

19. I'm looking, but can't find it right now. However...

... there's this WaPo article that mentioned her previous infection during the Summer.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/barrett-coronavirus-court-trump/2020/10/02/ecf7c7ce-04cf-11eb-8879-7663b816bfa5_story.html

I'm almost certain that I either previously read or HEARD it was in June, but can't find the source atm.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. I might need to change it? According to CNN...

... she was infected late in the Summer, and I certainly wouldn't deem June as late-Summer!

13. But they are more and more being implicated as super-spreaders.

https://environment.princeton.edu/news/largest-covid-19-contact-tracing-study-to-date-finds-children-key-to-spread-evidence-of-superspreaders/

The researchers found that the chances of a person with coronavirus, regardless of their age, passing it on to a close contact ranged from 2.6% in the community to 9% in the household. The researchers found that children and young adults — who made up one-third of COVID cases — were especially key to transmitting the virus in the studied populations.

“Kids are very efficient transmitters in this setting, which is something that hasn’t been firmly established in previous studies,” Laxminarayan said. “We found that reported cases and deaths have been more concentrated in younger cohorts than we expected based on observations in higher-income countries.”

5. Of course, Trump was close to the little girl.

He was probably viewing her as a potential wife in the future.

[LisaL]

6. She has seven kids, two of whom are adopted.

So they are her kids, and I wonder if they were tested for covid before the event.

[catrose]

8. Is her judgment that bad, to take her children unmasked to such an event?

Or is she owned that hard and can't say no to her boss?

Either way, she has no place on any court.

[sheshe2]

11. She may be the new SC Justice.

Obviously she doesn't have the intelligence to protect her own children at COVID a party. They sat next to Melanoma ( tested positive) unmasked and unprotected.

How will she protect other Americans on the SCOTUS when she can't/won't even protect her own.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. Exactly!

She's probably yet another example of a right-winger who cares more about a fetus (without higher brain functions) than children out of the womb.

[sheshe2]

14. Not even her own.

[secondwind]

23. Not even a fetus! A zygote, the size of a pea.

Majority of abortions are in the early stages.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. Yep. I suppose they think there's a little "spirit"...

... in it, from the time of fertilization (which they somehow claim to know that's how it works), so it's like murder of that unobservable "ghost in the machine".

How long must humanity suffer from the mystical thinking of SOME of its members?

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Sen. Mike Lee was right up in Barrett's grille too!

16. Barrett was infected and recovered over the Summer, but...

... I bet he got close to fawn over her "cute kids" too.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. There's some that say certain states are in the second wave of the virus, which is stronger.

.

Perhaps this is it.

[Blue_true]

21. People have gotten infected twice. One guy in China or Hong Kong got infected three times

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. Maybe!

The validity of it has been debated, but it's possible!

It would be even more ironic if she spread it to them!
