SARASOTA — A mother and son from Sarasota Military Academy have been quarantined after coming into contact with a patient who tested positive for coronavirus at Doctors Hospital, the school reports.

The mother came into contact with the patient in her "professional roles," according to a post on the Sarasota Military Academy's official Facebook page. Coronavirus causes the disease COVID-19.

Col. Christina Bowman, executive director of schools at SMA, said the school has been following protocols related to flu season that included sanitizing classrooms, door knobs, door handles and light fixtures routinely.

On Friday, SMA senior cadets shook hands and posed for photos with Vice President Mike Pence, who was visiting Sarasota for a fundraiser at U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan's house.

but who might think a corona/stroke combo might not be in the best interests of the country? I would love to see Pelosi kick everyone out of the White House and move in with the best IT people available to scour the servers. You won't get that chance in a transition.

By the way. Make it all public. Every last crooked piece. Tie it around the GOPs neck.

Of course it is just an evil dream.

Now's your chance, Mike — a few well directed coughing fits should do it.

I don't wish it on anyone. But damned if that wouldn't be fitting that the guy whose words are endangering the lives of millions came down with the sickness he's telling everyone not to worry about.

That would suck - he would be hailed as a courageous martyr and Trump would milk it for all it’s worth. Might be better than a +2000 point day of the Dow.

Pence contracts it. Spreads it to Twitler

Both succumb (worst case scenario)

Voila

President Pelosi (after fully disinfecting and fumigating the WH)
