President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, has told associates he has coronavirus, according to people familiar with the matter, adding to the outbreaks connected to the White House.

It wasn’t immediately clear when Meadows learned that he had contracted the virus or whether he had developed symptoms of Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. He informed a close circle of advisers after Tuesday’s election, one of the people said.

Meadows didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment. White House spokespeople didn’t respond to numerous e-mails and phone messages requesting comment.

A Trump campaign aide, Nick Trainer, is also infected, according to two people familiar with the matter. He and campaign spokespeople declined to comment.

Don't let it dominate your life!

So carry on, it may kill you, but your life won't be dominated by it. Shorten it, yes, dominate it though? No!

11. Dr. Fauci avoids the White House like the plague because it's very unsafe

It has become a hot spot of coronavirus infection. The lack of mandate for masking is reckless and irresponsible. The people at the pinnacle of "government" are keeping the virus growing. After every infectious outbreak, the White House doesn't even bother to do contact tracing. I wonder if Trump realizes that he can get infected again. Did Mark Meadows even bother to quarantine himself? This is sheer insanity that puts innocent people at risk.

14. Meadows has the phony Covid. He's calling in sick so he doesn't have to deal with Trump.

Trump is unleashing Holy Hell and nobody wants to be around to handle his tantrums.

Meadows may be on to something!

22. That can't be true

I thought COVID19 would magically disappear Nov 4th.

And...Trump said no one would be talking about Covid on Nov 4th.

@Rkrahenbuhl

@MarkMeadows tested positive for Covid-19. On election night he was at the White House party with the president and his family and hundreds of unmasked people.



@JenniferJJacobs
NEWS: Along with Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, at least FOUR other White House aides currently have coronavirus, per sources.

Pains were taken to keep Meadows’ illness a secret, I’m told. And people around him who knew were told to keep quiet.

Replying to
@JenniferJJacobs
Multiple White House aides have coronavirus, including Cassidy Hutchinson, one of Mark Meadows' closest aides. Latest outbreak comes as ballots are still being counted in election and Trump, trailing Biden, is trying to challenge votes in several states.

27. How are Biden and Harris and their transition team going to be able to do what they need to do . . .

at the White House without being exposed to Covid?

They need to clear out everybody, disinfect the place, then wait another two weeks before even stepping into the place.

31. He was a terrible Congressman, and is a horrible COS.

Treating him is a waste of the medical resources he sought to deny fellow citizens.

[Ms. Toad]

32. Sounds to me like an Election night infection.

BUT - if he was infected on election night, we'll see another super-spreader event. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/mark-meadows-trump-chief-staff-coronavirus-covid.html

Wonder if Nick Trainer (and the others infected) were also there . . .
