Bloomberg article says Mark Meadows knew he had Covid19, but didn't isolate.

https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-11-07/trump-s-chief-of-staff-mark-meadows-infected-by-coronavirus?srnd=politics-vp&__twitter_impression=true

Meadows tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, according to one of the people, though it wasn’t clear whether he had developed symptoms of Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. He informed a close circle of advisers after Tuesday’s election, another person said.

---------

At least four other White House officials have been infected, including Cassidy Hutchinson, one of Meadows’s closest aides. A senior Trump campaign aide, Nick Trainer, is also infected, according to people familiar with the matter.

--------

The chief of staff has remained involved in Trump’s post-election effort to challenge votes in several states, where the president trails former Vice President Joe Biden, according to one person familiar with the matter.


Some White House aides were aware earlier in the week that Meadows had become infected but were told to keep it quiet, several people said.


If this is true, he should face criminal charges for deliberately exposing others to a deadly disease.

We know herd immunity is established thru a vaccination plan in that community...not naturally....

Makes me feel like I am indeed in the Upside Down World....

We will not get an effective vaccine anytime soon if ever....

And AIDS is much, much harder to transmit than Covid.
