Journalist Charles Rusnell reports that workers' union representatives were allowed to attend a town hall about a major plant outbreak but were barred from speaking. Chief medical officer of health Deena Hinshaw told them that carpooling and household transmission, not conditions inside the plant, were responsible for the runaway spread.
