Carson should be in a good mood, says one of his subordinates. The 69-year-old is reportedly happy to have access to effective treatment for the virus, which has so far infected more than 10 million Americans.
Election night on November 4 was to be a venue for Trump’s camp.
Instead, it was the second party at the White House that sparked a widespread infection in no time.
In October, governors, senators and presidential advisers were infected after the celebration of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. In the end, Trump also managed to detect the virus.
Possible ‘super scatter event’
Although all had previously been screened for the virus, few of the more than 100 participants in Trump’s election vigil complied with the rules on social distancing. Only a few used bandages, according to Ap.
The news agency describes the election vigil as a possible “over-broadcast event” and believes it is “another symbol of Trump’s overly bold handling of the virus.”
On Monday night, sources with knowledge of the case told Reuters that David Bossie, one of the top members of Trump’s election campaign staff, was also diagnosed with an infection after the election vigil. Several White House employees must also be infected.
It emerged on Saturday that Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, had also been diagnosed with the virus. It created a certain furor, as its employees found out about it through the press.
Informed through the media
The White House has tried to keep a close eye on what others tested positive for the election vigil, even after the outbreak was a fact.
Reuters also claims that several of the participants have been informed about other infected people through the media.
Meadows, for example, is said to have been attentive to the diagnosis for more than a day, without notifying people with whom he had been in contact.
According to Bloomberg News, Meadows should have tested positive on Wednesday. In that case, it was likely also contagious during an election campaign event in Virginia, according to experts at George Mason Hospital.
Avoid the White House
Experts are not surprised that the infection continues to spread in the White House, despite frequent testing by people who have been in contact with Trump.
Majority Leader in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, says he has avoided staying in the White House since August.
– My impression is that your approach to how the virus should be handled is different from mine. It’s also different from the approach I’ve insisted we have in the Senate, which is wearing a bandage and practicing social distancing, McConnell says.
A poll shows that Trump’s careless attitude towards the virus was one of the reasons Biden ultimately won the election, according to Reuters.
– The Trump administration has not shown the necessary concern for itself, or for the country. That’s one of the reasons we have so many cases across the country, says Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, professor of public health at Johns Hopkins University.
Over the past six months, Trump has made a series of false or misleading accusations about the virus.
– Dark and long winter
A few days after the nerve-racking vigil at the White House, it became clear to most of the world that the next president of the United States is Joe Biden.
However, Trump has failed to acknowledge the election result and is now trying to use the courts to cling to power. The aforementioned McConnell believes that Donald Trump has the right to challenge the outcome of the election.
Biden has already appointed a committee to help run the crown, but warns that the virus could lead to a “long dark winter.”
In a speech Monday, Biden warned that the death toll could double in the United States before the crown pandemic ends.
– We can save many lives if we wear a mask. Not Republican or Democratic life, but American life, says Biden.
