They are going to bury any story about any staff member who gets the virus. That way they can say they are invincible.

At the same time, I can't say I'll shed a tear for any of them if they fall ill, or worse.

Katie Miller had been coughing at Task Force meetings before testing positive and “getting the side eye.” This “no masks” mantra will have bit them mightily.

We'd have add in a couple cashiers (@ $20K), and a home healthcare aide ($26K) to get close to the amount of money wasted on Dan Scavino - Twitter Guru-.

That makes no sense, that there would individual outbreaks who got infected by no one and infected no one.

We don't see that anywhere else. If there's one case in the packing plant, there will soon be 11 others.

So they're lying to us, and they're all brazenly going around without masks or gloves and standing right next to each other.

And one of the infected was a press secretary who was within inches of reporters and staffers the day before... and is married to the president's pet vampire.

Miller is the press aide to Pence and saw him multiple times a day... and of course, is married to Trump's "chief strategist" Stephen Miller, who sees Trump every day.

And an aide to Ivanka Trump (the aide was supposedly working from home, but this is the second exposure I-First has had-- she's already quarantined once), meaning another contact with the Trump family.

And some 11 Secret Service agents tested positive too, though it's not clear if these agents were in the protective section which provides security (the bigger part of the SS does law enforcement for the Treasury Dept-- counterfeiting and credit card fraud and such).

like cooks, housekeeping staff, etc. who are there because they need jobs. If in fact, those "menial" positions are non-partisan.

But I hope every political hack who is in the white house because they support MF45 gets exactly what they have subjected the country to.

(When briefed about the covid patients near him) In conversations this weekend, Trump has expressed concern that aides contracting coronavirus would undercut his message that the outbreak is waning and states should begin reopening, according to a person who spoke with him.

You know, if I heard a coworker was sick, my first thought would be something like, "Oh, no! How sad!"
Not "damn! This will undercut my message!"
