https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/10/09/world/covid-coronavirus?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur#at-a-school-attended-by-some-of-amy-coney-barretts-children-one-teacher-and-two-students-have-tested-positiveA school attended by some of the children of Amy Coney Barrett, the Supreme Court nominee who brought her family to a Rose Garden celebration at the White House on Sept. 26, notified parents on Thursday that one teacher and two high school students had tested positive for the coronavirus.
The outbreak at Trinity School, a small, private school in South Bend, Ind., is likely to intensify scrutiny of the White House event that some health experts fear led to the virus spreading among administration officials, guests and others who subsequently came in contact with them.
John A. Lee, the schools head, informed parents Thursday afternoon that a high school teacher had tested positive for the disease, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. Less than five hours later, he notified parents of two more cases: a girl in her junior year and a boy in his senior year. The teacher was identified by name but the students were not. Of the Barretts seven children, two are of high school age.
Parents expressed concern that the outbreak might have been tied to the Rose Garden event. One parent, who asked not to be identified, said at least one of the Barrett children attended classes in person the following week, even though the school offers an online learning option. Mr. Lee referred questions about the outbreak to Jon Balsbaugh, the president of Trinity Schools, Inc. In an email response to questions, Mr. Balsbaugh did not address the Covid-19 cases but said the school has taken a series of precautions to protect students, their families, teachers and staff. The South Bend campus is one of three run by Trinity Schools.

Should disqualify her from the bench. She is as reckless as the rest of the repukes.

They may have brought it (after being infected by Coney Barrett & her husband when they had it earlier), and/or have caught it at the event and taken it home to share.

If the initial superspreader was not Trump, it was one or more of these kids.
Since you don't need to worry about kids and COVID etc., etc.
