please let the next admin sue/prosecute the ever living **** out of the previous admin and all it's enablers. This is beyond wreckless and incompetent, it's also very dangerous.
I'm very behind on the events of yesterday and today, but this **** calls for the 25th Amendment on the whole Executive Branch and part of the Congress too...

has confirmed that Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California has tested POSITIVE for COVID-19. Pastor Laurie was at the Prayer March on the Mall with Mike Pence and Franklin Graham and the ACB Rose Garden event later that day.

Pence was very near this man, and even though he continues to test negative for now, his Dr. is staying that he no longer needs to quarantine because he wasn't near Trump or anyone that tested positive..... (except, you know, the Pastor mentioned above.... SMFH)

More info on 2 White House residence staff members who tested positive - they worked for the housekeeping department on the third floor, and didn't come in direct contact w the first family. When their tests came back positive, they were told to use "discretion" in discussing it.

The WHitehouse has become a COVID Petrie Dish.... and the people in charge don't give a damn...

@ABC
News there is "a full-blown freak-out" in the administration waiting to see who will be next to test positive -- with aides not trusting each other and some trying to find ways to avoid coming into work at all.

This man who had to be rushed to a leading hospital for VIP care by a dedicated team with experimental drugs and Steroids leaves the hospital, immediately removes his mask, and then winces in pain as he tries to catch his breath while saying he feels better than he has in 20 years..... (it's clearly the drugs.... but no one tell him that) https://twitter.com/brenonade/status/1313263278613827585
and that's only a snippet of the crazy town at the WH yesterday.
He should be Quarantined in a Hospital, and not putting the lives of the people that work at the WH at any further risk, who then have to go home and possibly expose their own friends/families to this **** because no one wants to say NO to toddler in chief.
The WH Press Sec refused to quarantine or much less wear a mask after being told she was exposed, and then continued to hold maskless press conferences till her results came back, putting the whole press pool at risk of exposure.
Secret Service Agents being forced to drive this dumbass around in his hermetically sealed bullet proof car with nothing more than a mask..... all need to be quarantined
Who are we supposed to turn to reign in this madness? this is just insane.
Shouldn't there be protocols in place to prevent this type of wreckless dumbassery?
we're getting near a forced Gov Shutdown/National Security issue here if this keeps spreading.
Trump was trying to go to the Oval Office today for fucks sake (he stated he may be "immune" to the virus he has contracted and given oxygen, really strong experimental drugs and steroids for).
Luckily someone stopped him, but WTF is wrong with him and everyone else around him?

This should be the tagline for this admin.
I am not surprised at this point. One would think they would take this thing seriously but no. No they just want to make it past the election.
BlackNMild2k1:
And I think the play here is to either infect the other side or get them to concede to draw a narrative of "scared of COVID" or something stupid like that....
https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1313546737164996609?s=20
They were already trying to run with the narrative that the opposition doesn't have the experience with the virus, as they've never had it.
While simultaneously staying that he may be "immune"
And previously staying that the entire thing was a "hoax" and would just go away.....
So excuse me if I'm extremely distrusting of not only their words, but their intent behind all their actions as well.
Dereliction of duty comes to mind too
And BONUS ADDITION to the COVID WHITEHOUSE BINGO
.....Stephen Miller
anyone got Bingo yet?

Now I know that news sources will often write stories or make tribute videos ahead of time when something seems likely or inevitable (like the death of someone we know is very sick), but this is interesting as Deadline posted this, but never actually retracted the story... just stated that they didn't mean to publish it (yet?).

--- Quote ---A draft post of a story about Vice President Mike Pence testing positive for coronavirus that was never meant to publish was accidently posted on Deadline. It was pulled down immediately. It never should have been posted and Deadline will take steps to see this kind of thing never happens again. Apologies to the Vice President and our readers. We regret the error.

But were they waiting for confirmation before publishing? or was this prepped just in case such an incident were to occur? According to the comment, some who read it said the article had quite a bit of detail..... 🤔🤔🤔
I guess we just have to wait and find out.
nickmitch:
To be fair, they probably had the story pre-written with a handful of details that were easy to edit with the actual facts (e.g., the date of the announcement, the number of WH personnel who have it, etc.). That way, it's ready to go at a moment's notice. Now, why exact information, like "Wednesday" as opposed to "[weekday]" were there, I dunno.
