At Least 8 Who Attended Rose Garden Event Have COVID Contact tracing for the Trumpworld COVID-19 outbreak is still in the early stages, but eight of those who have tested positive were at a packed event in the White House Rose Garden last weekend.
The number has risen hour by hour over the last two days, with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie the latest attendee to disclose that he has the virus days after gathering.
Most in the Rose Garden crowd—invited to see President Trump nominate Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court—were not wearing masks even though chairs were placed close together.
Photos showed guests milling around and chatting with no regard for the federal government’s own social distancing guidelines. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), who later tested positive, was caught on video hugging and kissing guests with abandon.
While the ceremony was outside—which can help limit the spread of the virus when proper social distancing is in effect—there were also smaller, mask-free gatherings indoors, where COVID-19 can spread even more easily. In addition to Lee and Christie, the attendees who tested positive are the president and first lady Melania Trump, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, and Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins. An unidentified journalist who was there is also infected.
In a statement earlier this week, amid a campus uproar that he did not wear a mask at the event honoring an alumna, Jenkins said he was told he didn’t need to after he and other guests tested negative at the White House. But, he said, he regrets not keeping the mask on and shaking hands with people.
“I failed to lead by example, at a time when I’ve asked everyone else in the Notre Dame community to do so,” he wrote. “I especially regret my mistake in light of the sacrifices made on a daily basis by many, particularly our students, in adjusting their lives to observe our health protocols.”
