At Least 20 Capitol Police Officers Have COVID-19 After Riot

Source: NBC4 Washington

By Scott MacFarlane

Some U.S. Capitol Police officers say they’re worried the violent Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was a COVID-19 superspreader event.

At least 20 officers have active cases of COVID-19, marking the largest number of cases among the rank and file in months, a Capitol Police union leader said.

Scores of supporters of Donald Trump swarmed into the Capitol without face masks during the riot, injuring officers and damaging an icon of American democracy.

Officers were equipped with personal protective equipment.

1. They should sue the trump campaign and anyone/corporation

That gave ground support for the rally.

3. Absolutely, they should.

Not only for themselves, but anyone in their households who contracts Covid.

I would like to know how many of the mob/rioters have it now and how many will die from it.

5. Was there ever any question?

Everything the trumpers did was a superspreader.

All day that Wednesday my only comforting thought
was realizing that many of those assholes were going
to get Covid.

I'm sorry if any good leo's got it, though.

Wonder how many insurrectionists aren’t feeling very good right now?

12. The officers' masks might have slipped when the mob was attacking them

crushing their heads, hitting them with fire extinguishers and dragging them down flights of stairs.

I am so ANGRY about this. Those brave officers did not deserve to get COVID-19 on top of everything else. I hope they will be well taken care of.

Looked like they hadn’t missed too many meals.
