Person With Coronavirus Attended CPAC Conference in Maryland
Source: NBC
Organizers of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) say someone who attended the conference last week in National Harbor, Maryland, has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
The patient was exposed to the virus prior to the four-day conference and is being quarantined in New Jersey, organizers said in a tweet.
President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence attended CPAC but did not come in contact with the patient, organizers said.
"This attendee had no interaction with the President or the Vice President and never attended the events in the man hall," the group wrote. CPAC was held Feb. 26-29 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.

This person is at home. they don't appear to qualify. Seems there are two sets of rules at play.

And on it goes, compounding accordingly. And thats just in and around AIPAC. What else? Who else? Who else did AIPAC Patient Zero encounter in the hours and days before AIPAC? And where is that individual now? In quarantine? And how many encounters has this person had with others before he or she was finally identified?
And of all the people AIPAC Patient Zero encountered, who did THEY encounter, and where? And where are THEY now?
Theres just a galaxy full of things we dont know about, regarding this. And it takes TIME to sort out. And some people may not want to face the results.
Especially since we dont know who among all those people actually DID come into contact with trump (or came into contact with someone who then came into contact with trump). And we all have seen how he doesnt wash his hands.
