White House Correspondents' Dinner COVID outbreak begins: Journalists from multiple outlets test positive.

Daily Mail: White House Correspondents' Dinner COVID outbreak begins: Journalists from multiple outlets test positive.

Attendees of Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner have started testing positive for COVID-19.

Most notably, ABC News' Jonathan Karl tested positive Monday night after sitting next to Kim Kardashian at dinner and interacting with President Joe Biden.

CNN reported Tuesday that some staff from CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News and Politico have tested positive since the dinner.

At a minimum, events required vaccination, but cards weren't always checked - others, like the Creative Coalition dinner, had COVID testing on-site.

Our event implemented protocols that went beyond any guidance or regulation issued by the CDC or the D.C. health department,' WHCA President Steve Portnoy said.

Sweet, delicious, savory Schadenfreude, how I love thee.
