      I think the piece stands as is—explaining the key role clusters play in driving the pandemic and the policy implications of this—though the White House cluster is a striking example! An update would be on appropriate use of testing (which, even with their negligence, helped).https://twitter.com/djjohnso/status/1314911706112569345 …

      If you haven't read it yet, the most eye opening thing I've read on Covid-19 in recent weeks. Came out day before Trump diagnosis. I imagine @zeynep, who has seen around all the corners for months, would write some paragraphs differently 10 days later. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/k-overlooked-variable-driving-pandemic/616548/ …

      Thanks for the reply! I was specifically thinking of the rapid testing bits.

      Right. Rapid testing as cluster-busting/population screening tool versus what these people seem to be doing (not even testing enough...). Still, it's their (meager, inappropriately deployed) testing that stopped the cluster. So maybe worth writing at some point.

          Agreed! I also think the backward tracing you are talking about *has not* been done well, even though this is a matter of intense public interest. I would love to see real work on this.

          Quietly, it looks like White House staff may have had it first, passing it to one or both of the Trumps, and that Donald may well be the superspreader. Also, is it somewhat permanently in the ventilation system at the White House at this point?
