Multiple tweets re: MSNBC saying about 3 dozen Secret Service agents are positive (11 active...)

Several dozen more quarantined

Anyone watching MSNBC to confirm?


EDIT

https://news.yahoo.com/secret-service-coronavirus-cases-white-house-concerns-221444492.html

According to the DHS document, along with the 11 active cases there are 23 members of the Secret Service who have recovered from COVID-19 and an additional 60 employees who are self-quarantining. No details have been provided about which members of the Secret Service are infected or if any have recently been on detail with the president or vice president.

I want to see him have to do stuff for himself. He will wither. I hope the agents get better, but seeing Trump have to take care of himself for two weeks might do more than him getting the virus himself. Seeing his pampered ass have to fend for himself for two weeks would be priceless.

Trump and Pence are super spreaders and lying about getting tested.

Of course, we can also assume that Trump is actually Patient One, got it on an overseas trip, and has been spreading it all over, especially through his rallies, which was the reason he had so many. What an evil plan!

I enjoy creating my own conspiracy theories for fun. I don't like the used ones. It is better to be original. Remember, you heard it here first.

Honestly, it does seem like what is happening. How can that many people around the Trump family be positive for this stuff and they seem immune? They HAVE to be carriers. Typhoid/Covid Trump.

Well, I am glad I am not the only one to consider it.

It might make a good movie though: It's Coming From Inside the White House.

Gee, I think we already have the plot down.

That has got to be in the movie. He is truly one of the most awful ones in the Trump admin. A fascist, racist, xenophobic piece of scum like him NEEDS to be in the movie for that feel good (for the audience) moment when he gets a look of shock on his face in some plot twist where he can get the 'Rona after all.

Does anybody know what kind of tests they get in the White House?

We know that the swab test is like being stabbed in the brain. It is very uncomfortable, even excruciating.

Do they get something more posh, advanced, sophisticated. You know the kind for squeamish, frightened snowflakes and those who fail upwards. "Icky test. Bad! Ouch! No! No want test!"

Just declared himself to be in charge.....?

UPDATE
So I just googled it....It was when Reagan was shot. There was a lot of confusion after, and Haig kept insisting that he was in charge of the federal government....
