No Longer Optional: White House Changes Virus Testing Policy for Staff

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The White House is mandating that all officials and staffers in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building agree to random coronavirus testing in the following weeks, according to two individuals familiar and a notice obtained by The Daily Beast.

This is the first time the White House has made it mandatory that all employees get tested for the coronavirus despite multiple people testing positive, according to those same individuals.

Officials working in the building, including those on the National Security Council and those working closely with the White House, told The Daily Beast medical professionals did draw their blood for antibody testing last month.

One U.S. official working in the EEOB said they were concerned about the accuracy of the rapid COVID-19 tests now being administered among staffers and officials.

no testing, no quarantine no nothing. But Trump wants schools open.

2. If Trump thinks Covid-19 is a hoax why is anyone being tested ???

If Trump thinks Covid-19 will magically disappear why is anyone being tested ???

The orange fucking gas bag should be denied all testing.

All those who support and lie for him should be denied testing.

They should all be denied health care.

If thoughts and prayers don't work too fucking bad.

3. More proof that he hasn't already secretly had it and recovered

He’s skeered! Maybe a reaction to the many close calls including the does-he-or-doesn’t-he-have-it dewine.

I’m glad. I hope he’s squirming.
