One of Trump's personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus
Source: CNN
A member of the US Navy who serves as one of President Donald Trump's personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus, CNN has learned Thursday, raising concerns about the President's possible exposure to the virus.
The valets are members of an elite military unit dedicated to the White House and often work very close to the President and first family. Trump was upset when he was informed Wednesday that the valet had tested positive, a source told CNN, and he was subsequently tested again by the White House physician.
In a statement, the White House confirmed CNN's reporting that one of the President's valets had tested positive.
"We were recently notified by the White House Medical Unit that a member of the United States Military, who works on the White House campus, has tested positive for Coronavirus," deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement. "The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health."

(2,227 posts)Yes, we are made in God's image. Yet there is ONLY ONE god.
We are male and female, therefore, God is a hermaphrodite. There can be no other possible explanation.

Best of all, this will qualify as a pre-existing condition in the future. The Master Race isn't supposed to have those.

That would be the greatest presser in presser history. Much more fun than R. Budd Dwyer (Google his most famous press conference).

(5,815 posts)Isnt that quaint that our king has his own team of valets?? What is their job? Picking out which red tie to wear? Or tying it? I hope the guy gave a big dose of covid 19 with each encounter with tRump. tRump will be tested daily.....but of course. The rest of us can eat sh*t and die, but he will be tested 5 times a day if necessary.

(11,527 posts)I've thought the same thing for some time now, there's probably a vaccine that's in the early stages of mass production and only a very limited number of doses are available now. tRump and his inner circle will have already gotten it, the rest of us will have to continue dying for a year or so before it's readily available.

The link doesn't specify whether or not this person wears a mask, either inside the White House or when he is out in public.
Well, he'll have his results in a "matter of minutes." Too bad the rest of the country doesn't have access to that kind of testing.
