https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2020/10/08/white-houses-meadows-reportedly-flouted-covid-rules-in-may-for-daughters-large-wedding/Mark Meadows, Trumps chief of staff, hosted a 70-person indoor wedding for his daughter in Atlanta in late May, possibly violating state rules and federal guidelines designed to halt the spread of Covid-19, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, another case of White House officials seemingly flouting coronavirus protocols.
The wedding took place in an ornate Atlanta ballroom, and its 70-person guest list included Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who has expressed skepticism of coronavirus restrictions and frequently declined to wear a face mask, AJC reported.
Guests stood close to each other during the wedding, and most did not appear to wear masks, according to photos of the event reviewed by AJC.
Earlier that month, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, a Republican, had banned all gatherings of more than 10 people in a single location across the state.
Weeks before the wedding, President Donald Trump was still predicting Covid-19 would suddenly go away and emphasizing that most people recover from the virus.

Not wishing harm on anybody since I don't believe in that type of mystical power.
However I do believe in the power of this and other diseases.
Biology can really suck sometimes.
