Pinal County sheriff says he tested positive for COVID-19 before planned Trump meeting

Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb announced on Wednesday afternoon that he tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

Lamb posted on the Pinal County Sheriff Office's Facebook page that he had been invited on Tuesday to join President Donald Trump at the White House and was tested before the meeting as part of the protocol.

"Unfortunately, as a law enforcement official and elected leader, we do not have the luxury of staying home," Lamb wrote. "This line of work is inherently dangerous, and that is a risk we take when we sign up for the job. Today, that risk is the COVID-19 virus."

Lamb said he believes he came into contact with an infected person during a campaign event he held on Saturday. Lamb didn't say if he wore a mask or practiced social distancing at the event.

Edit Yup! that is Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb. The one who pledged not to enforce the unconstitutional face
mask law in Arizona.

1. If so, and if I was out to get Trump with covid19, that would be the place I put someone. Lol.

Could not be a better spot by just breathing out and the little critters float right down on top of and around trumps face for him to sniff in. Funny...

2. Sure looks like it

I’d like to know what Orange Foolius is taking that imparts immunity to COVID-19 (or that he and advisors think does). Can you imagine the reaction if it comes to light that an effective medicine exists and that some powerful individuals have been hogging it to themselves?

6. Well, he is a God fearing man. / no need for those mask things

7. yeah, I saw that sentiment on one of the protest signs for opening up early:

I don't remember the exact words but it was something like

'Take off your mask, God will protect you!'

8. And Putin is the one filling these nitwits with the "open it back up" crap

OH's Health Dept. Director, Amy Acton, who is wonderful had to quit because some of those whack jobs were
showing up in her front yard.

9. Some real misdirection there

Law enforcement is inherently dangerous and you are required to face risks.

Going to a campaign event without face covering isn't one of them.

10. FFS - quit misquoting the tabloid rag Daily Mail.

from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office facebook page "To make it explicitly clear, I did not attend the event or meet with the President as a result of the positive test following White House screening procedures.

I will be self-quarantining for the next 14 days minimum."

Mark Lamb is as ignorant and self-important as trump but he didn't meet trump this week.

11. Well if you got to the picture in post # 5 in this thread the man in the white cowboy hat looks ...

... just like Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb.

12. So he got on a plane and flew to DC and found out he was positive.

Did he fly back home for his quarantine??
