Ben Carson is the latest Trump official to test positive for coronavirus
Source: CNN
(CNN)Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson tested positive for coronavirus Monday morning, his deputy chief of staff Coalter Baker confirmed to CNN.
Carson attended the election night party where White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and nearly every other attendee was not wearing a mask. Meadows and four others in Trump's orbit subsequently tested positive last week.
Carson was also spotted maskless at a Trump campaign rally in Waterford Township, Michigan on October 30.
Carson's diagnosis was first reported by ABC News.

Also, given his personality/demeanor/level of physicality, how would one suspect that he had ever "come down" with a disease? He's already "down" to the point that he looks like he barely registers a pulse.
And what was he doing at a party? What does that even look like? Pence's personality is a frat party compared to Carson's.

(788 posts)Can Florida return to life as normal without containing the spread of the novel coronavirus?
The answer from Gov. Ron DeSantis is an emphatic yes. And, whether Floridians know it or not, he is pursuing a policy that will allow the virus to spread freely in the state until most of the population becomes infected or is vaccinated with a yet-to-be obtained vaccine while attempting to protect those thought to be most vulnerable.
