Last week Trump told aides hes 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. Hes 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.

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