Not bad for a hoax

Stories about Trump’s coronavirus fears have spread through the White House. Last week Trump told aides he’s afraid journalists will try to purposefully contract coronavirus to give it to him on Air Force One, a person close to the administration told me. The source also said Trump has asked the Secret Service to set up a screening program and bar anyone who has a cough from the White House grounds. “He’s definitely melting down over this,” the source said.

Meanwhile at CPAC...




Cruz, Doug Collins, Schlapp, Gaetz, and Gosar came into contact with someone who has Covid 19 at CPAC and have self quarantined.
5 members of the Fl house and their staff attended the conference, they have now submitted to self quarantine.
But not before they went to work. Which prompted this today

Trump also shook hands with Collins after he was exposed, and possibly with Schlapp, as well.

honchos.

Notice that the same right wingers who squawked so loudly the the whistleblower needed to be outed are now insisting that the privacy of Patient Zero at CPAC be respected. Well, yeah, he deserves privacy--but so does the whistleblower.
