A healthcare professional who was screening arriving passengers at Los Angeles International Airport for coronavirus symptoms tested positive for the virus themself, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed. NBC News first reported the virus case on Wednesday.

The person, who was not identified, tested positive late Tuesday night. They had last worked as a health screener on February 21.

A spokesperson for DHS told Business Insider that the medical professional had worn the "correct protective equipment" while working. An internal email obtained by NBC characterized the person as a contractor for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC has been screening passengers arriving to the US from China since mid-January, which was the first time that many became aware of the new virus.

1. Just 'effin great

First, my sincere condolences to this person and family. Speedy recovery!

Second, Trump and Pence: you suck beyond belief. How is it possible that this could happen. You 'effed it up BIG TIME. Get your collective head out of your collective ass and do SOMETHING.

Ds: Please carefully use the Trump mal-administration's handling of this as reason 45345445434612125 that these buffoons' gotta go. Make it so that everyone understands explicitly how awful their handling of this has been. And do not let them, for even a nanosecond, blame BHO or my main man Joe B for one bit of the catastrophe that is their own making.
