Even more people in Donald Trump administration test positive for coronavirus
In the past twenty-four hours we’ve all learned that Donald Trump’s personal valet and Mike Pence’s press secretary have both tested positive for coronavirus. This has raised the question of just how widespread the virus might be across the White House, the Trump administration, and the executive branch. Now we’re getting some additional information.
Yahoo News has just reported that eleven Secret Service agents currently have coronavirus, while another twenty-three agents have already recovered from it. We wish them all well. There’s no information available on which details these agents have been working on, or who within the Trump regime might have gotten infected.
CNN is reporting that Ivanka Trump’s personal assistant has also just tested positive for coronavirus. The assistant has been working at home for quite some time, so there’s no reason to believe that it’s spread to anyone in the White House. Still, this means yet another person in the Trump administration has now tested positive – and Ivanka is lucky that her assistant has been working from home.
This all comes even as Donald Trump continues to pretend that the coronavirus crisis is easing, and that it’s time to reopen the country. But in reality, coronavirus is continuing to get worse – and now it’s actively creeping up on Trump’s own doorstep.
