Peter Dutton, Australia’s home minister, is the latest in a string of foreign dignitaries who have met with associates of President Trump in recent days, only to later learn they had been infected

CNN: Peter Dutton - shown here meeting with Barr and Ivanka Trump - said that he woke up on Friday morning "with a temperature and sore throat" and was "subsequently tested for COVID-19." Dutton was advised by Queensland Health that his tests returned positive on Friday afternoon

It wouldn’t surprise me at all. He is evil enough, even on a good day.

Didn't he say in his book that he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom because when he shakes hands with someone else it makes him feel superior somehow? Asking for a friend.

I saw it back a year or two ago, perhaps someone who actually read his book or helped to write it. I only remember that because I thought it was absolutely disgusting but not so surprising.

are the problem. Deport them to Russia. Vlad will "handle the problem". And here we thought the tRumps only passed along STI's.

Trump is in the group that is statistically most likely to go under and die from a COVID-19 infection.

But I'm sure there is a refrigerator full of antiviral and experimental drugs in the White House that they will try on him if he threatens to slip away into the UnderWorld.

Hands are close enough for the virus to jump from one to the other.

If we don't see King Trump and the First Princess for a few weeks, you will know what has happened.
Come to think of it, Malaria/Melanie, whatever her name is, hasn't been visible for a while. Wassup, dear?

Dutton went back to Australia (mistake 1), didn't go through 2 weeks quarantine (mistake 2), and kept breathing (mistake 3) on other people (mistake 4).

Why, oh why, are some people so arrogant or lacking in understanding, that they assume COVID-19 happens to other people and not them?
This virus, and every other virus, is an equal opportunity invader.

It is too obvious; the other people are dressed for the occasion, not the room. Look at how color coordinated she is with the furnishings and rug. Ugh.

Why didn't she use the trick that everyone else in an office uses: keep a neutral colored blazer in your office and wear it if unexpected VIPs show up.
