Take for instance the white house. The white house had at least 25 indoor holiday parties planned for the month of december, 25. Well, they say holiday parties. Some might say superspreader events. Tomato tomato. Lets not forget this is a white house that has already had at least one superspreader event even when a good portion of that event was held outdoors in nice weather. Close to a dozen attendees at the September Rose garden ceremony for Supreme Court nominee amy coney barrett, including President Trump, tested positive after that. Then many more tested positive after a white house Election Night party. Ultimately three dozen people in Donald Trumps orbit contracted the virus.

Lets not forget this is white house that had at least one super spreader event when a good portion was held outdoors in nice weather. Close to a dozen attendees at the September Rose garden ceremony for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett including President Trump himself tested positive after that. Ultimately Something Like three dozen people in Donald Trumps orbit contracted the virus. This white house is a giant petri dish, and you want to have 25 holiday parties there . What exactly do you think is going to happen . Well, unfortunately predictably this. The vice chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party came down with covid19 symptoms after attending a Holiday Gathering in washington, d. C. People were just leisurely and gingerly take off their mask to eat, to mingle, to schmooze. I dont even think people wore masks the entire time. It was a big event, about 200 people.
