Source: The Hill
Newly unveiled documents suggest nearly a dozen U.S. Secret Service members have tested positive for COVID-19, Yahoo News reports.
According to documents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that were obtained by Yahoo News, there were 11 active cases at the agency as of Thursday. On top of those currently infected, another 23 Secret Service members have reportedly recovered from coronavirus. Another 60 employees are allegedly self-quarantining.
It's not clear if any have recently been working at the White House or have had any contact with President Trump or Vice President Pence.
News of coronavirus spreading among Secret Service members comes amid reports this week that multiple White House officials have tested positive for COVID-19.

(70,291 posts)CONCLUSION/ A significant percentage of the U.S. COVID-19 outbreak is attributable to a federal response hobbled by Trump's secret side communications with China. That changed only in Marchafter it was too late.
Trump didn't do anything about the virus in the beginning because he is in
debt to China for $210,000,000.

(45,259 posts)maybe Pence and Stephen Miller and others are spreading it around asymptomatically since people close to them have gotten it.
Trump's America is more like NK than UK. I doubt they would tell us if Trump or Pence tested positive.
