We laugh...but this is actually a major national security incident.

The President, multiple Senators, who knows who else get a terrible virus.

Seems like the Secret Service or someone is really dropping the ball here on keeping our leaders safe.

How can the Secret Service keep reckless morons that refuse to wear a mask and social distance safe from an unseen pathogen?
