On election night in the United States, last Tuesday, November 3, the White House hosted a party to follow the election results, where the family of Donald Trump, the president’s advisers and White House officials were present.
At the event, almost no one wore a mask and there was no social distancing, and according to the Associated Press, one of those responsible for the Trump campaign and other members of the White House staff were infected. The president’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, also tested positive for covid-19.
For now, the White House has refused to reveal more details about other infected people.
According to the news agency, many of the people who attended the party only found out about the positive results after they were made public by the media. Joshua Sharfstein, professor of public health at Johns Hopkins University, was not surprised by what happened, considering that “the administration was arrogant about the risks to itself and to the country. And that is one of the reasons why we have so many cases ”.
It is recalled that the United States is the country in the world with the highest number of infections and deaths. Donald Trump, who has also had the new virus, has been criticized in recent months for the way he has dealt with the pandemic and his rallies for the presidency have been marked by seas of people without masks, without any social distance.
