Source: CBS (Philadelphia)
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) White House staff members have reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump visited Philadelphia. Globo News reporter Raquel Krahenbuhl says she was informed of the positive COVID-19 cases Wednesday, but Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says he is not releasing any further information.
I dont comment on any health-related issues as it relates to the White House ever, Meadows told press pool reporters.
Josh Wingrove, White House reporter for Bloomberg News, reports that the White House is declining comment. When asked about the report, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said, Im not here to give peoples personal identities and that close contacts with a person who has since tested positive would be notified, according to Bloomberg.
President Trump was in Philadelphia Tuesday for a town hall at the National Constitution Center with undecided voters.

(45,054 posts)Trump really dropped a turd and showed how ill-prepared he is to debate Biden... or anyone. They're probably looking for reason to keep him far away from a real debate. That said... COVID is deadly real and what did they think would happen with their stupid maskless policies??!! Idiots.

(7,947 posts)I hope it isn't another Secret Service agent. Trump keeps dragging them into these rallies where they have to stand protecting him against his rowdies, and they're shouting and spitting.
Kushner would be a nice "infectee".

Great explanation. Makes complete sense.

But if they don't the WH will just pass it off as "just like the flu" or no big deal. I want it to hit home to these schmucks.

(47,831 posts)tested positive earlier and that is the reason he was on a regiment of hydroxychloroquine and also why he seems so comfortable interacting with other people on a regular basis. Like perhaps he dodged the bullet but everyone else is on their own. The man is a long time germaphobe, but he hasn't been acting like one when it comes to COVID, which he has admitted is a serious disease.
Of course with Trump, it is impossible to apply logic to anything he does or says, so who knows.

(47,831 posts)but we've seen him many times with quite a few people in close proximity and few or no people were wearing masks. If he isn't immune to COVID, he is an absolute failure as a germaphobe.

As to germaphobe, sex with porn stars is pretty out there.

He still does not understand what he is dealing with in regards to COVID-19. He's too busy figuring out what he is going to say and rarely listening.

(8,972 posts)Covid can show itself between 3-14 days.
Today is Wednesday, 4 days after both Ren0 and Las Vega$ rallies.
Those who tested positive and went to Philadelphia, are helping to spread it from Ren0/Vega$ to Philadelphia.
