White House Quietly Told Gold Star Families They May Have Been Exposed to Coronavirus
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Daily Beast reports the White House quietly informed a veterans
group that family members of fallen U.S. soldiers may have been exposed
to the coronavirus at an event hosted by President Trump and Vice
President Mike Pence. Dozens of Gold Star family members, many of them
elderly, packed the East Room of the White House on September 27 for the
event - seated shoulder to shoulder and not wearing masks.
