Anyone Know What Kind Of Covid-19 Precautions Are Being Taken At Mar-A-Lago & Trump Tower, NY?....

Trump keeps minimizing the Covid-19 crisis upon us. It would be very telling to know what kind of precautions he has ordered to be taken at Mar-A-Lago, Trump Tower New York, the White House and his other properties.

Is he being careless at his properties or as a germaphobe himself - has he instituted precautions - such as hand sanitizing stations; masks; etc?

If he is telling the American People not to worry and he himself is taking special measures to prevent coming in contact with the virus - that really should speak volumes.

4. The health department scores for Trump's restaurants & resorts are abysmal.

So, based on the usual lack of cleanliness and basic food safety measures, I’d have to say that Trump properties are not clean or well-prepared for COVID-19.

5. He nearly didn't visit the CDC when it was thought a worker had coronavirus

I'm guessing he's fumigating people before they approach him. Literally, a fumigation tent people walk thru before entering

6. Don't test, don't tell seems to be the overall strategy here.

7. First of most masks from stores do not protect you from covid-19

because the virus is much smaller in size than the openings in mask material.
But mask does protect others from YOU because you won't be spraying cough liquids on them.

Precautions against any virus is basically washing your hands after touching anything others may haver touched.
There is no vaccine developed to protect from covid-19 yet. I understand it may take a year to develop.
If you touched something but can't wash hands immediately, that is not so bad if you don't touch your face.

Only dirty poor people will be sick. He thinks he’s safe at his place because he charges people half a mil to be there.

9. Fear not! COVID-19 would never dare to attack Dear Leader on his own property!

Why, just think of the angry tweets Dear Leader would unleash on the virus if it dared to do such a thing!!

I won't bore you with any. But Mar A Lago is an epidemic and a security catastrophe at the same time.

If anybody catches anything there, It's not like they weren't warned about staying away from crowds and travel and the color orange.

12. Good points raised, but one request:

Please don't even imply that the White House is one of "his properties". Not being petty here, but that's OUR house, our property. The less it's in his clutches, the better.

(P.S. I "get" your OP, but this is a particular pain point for me! )
