The housekeepers too. Geez. Anderson Cooper said WH Housekeepers tested positive.

Good grief. This could get really awful. They go home, to their families and so on and so on. This is a damn nightmare. And they refused help to contact trace?

At least the USSS detail signed up for the possibility of bodily harm. Housekeeping? No they did not.

Might send a strong message to the fools in the WH.

Make your own damn meals, clean your own damn toilets, wash your own damn dishes, linens, uniforms & clothes.
Go ahead, ring that bell asking for your coke, KFC, Mc'ds'. Fuck you get them yourselves.

I'd kill to see that coffee boy, Stephen Miller waiting in a drive-thru at McDonald's ordering for the surviving WH staff.

THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE:

We'll have your backs & hire you back with lost pay if you stand up to this homicidal maniac.

C'mon Speaker Pelosi...do it!

The staff needs protection! Let the politicos and sycophants do the cleaning and cooking, especially cleaning tRump's toilet, it must be filthy!

When Joe is inaugurated, he needs to wait a couple of days to move into the White House so that there can be a massive fumigation, to get rid of the virus and the Russian listening devices. Two different kinds of bugs!

When Biden wins, he can run the show from somewhere else, any place where Trump and his followers have never gone.

Meanwhile, wrap the White House in saran wrap after waterbombing it from above with strong disinfectant, with all windows open. Wait 6 months for the virus in the drapes, carpets and furniture to die off.

The N95 masks and such?

They can't even share them with the WH staff?!
