"...this attendee had no interaction with the President or the Vice President". What about others this person came in contact with? None of them interacted with Trump / Pence? Maybe they touched this flag before he did?

And most will be kept 6 feet away. Trump may even wear gloves, or at the very least use sanitizer frequently.

He will be in a friggin bubble complete with air curtains and hepa filters to keep him safe.

Unfortunately.

His sex workers are the only ones who will get close enough to cough on him un-noticed.
