White House staffing needs to be evaluated
To me, the White House outbreak teaches two things. First, that the infectious disease doctors are right about what they warned about this virus. They said that it’s not just going to go away, it isn’t seasonal and we must continue wearing masks and distancing. Also, being outdoors doesn’t necessarily stop the spread.
Secondly, The White House employs a special events staff and a medical staff, and they bear some responsibility for letting this happen at the Rose Garden.
I mean, no one said, “Having all of these people sitting right next to each other, no masks, isn’t safe.” Plus there was close mingling after the ceremony.
And of course, the President has a dedicated physician whose job it is to keep him safe and monitor his health. Trump needed better guidance in avoiding the virus, especially with his risk factors of age and excess weight.
