Hot spot
Meanwhile, back in Loserville –
At least five people within President Donald Trump’s orbit have tested positive for coronavirus, including his chief of staff and a top campaign aide, becoming the latest administration officials to be infected with the virus after a string of outbreaks in the West Wing.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, top campaign aide Nick Trainer, who has been crunching the numbers when it comes to election data, and at least three other people in the White House, including a deputy for Meadows, have tested positive, multiple sources told CNN.
And have they been wearing masks and distancing, or better yet staying home? Of course not.
Trump campaign staffers told CNN they are furious because the leadership in the campaign never sent out an email informing staff of the positive cases or cautioning them to stay home for the time being. Meadows was in the office multiple times this week without a mask.
Meadows, 61, told people after Tuesday’s election that he had contracted Covid, but it wasn’t clear when he first tested positive, according to sources. In the past, he has appeared skeptical of coronavirus mitigation measures and has not often been seen wearing a mask.
He traveled with Trump aboard Air Force One during his final campaign swing on Sunday and Monday, accompanied the President on a visit to his campaign headquarters on Tuesday and attended a White House election night party where he came into close contact with members of the President’s family. He was not seen wearing a mask during any of those engagements.
I do hope they all get it.
White House officials are now alarmed, given Meadows has been around other staffers while potentially contagious, one aide tells CNN.
One White House official who was around Meadows several times this week said they were not notified that he had tested positive, though staffers are being told that “contact tracing was done.”
Meadows has been a leading skeptic inside the White House about the mitigation measures recommended by the coronavirus task force, viewing the panel as largely sidelined.
“Skeptic” isn’t the right word. “Dumbass” is more accurate.
Big celebration in midtown Atlanta, the chanting is “fuck Donald Trump”, lol, gotta love it. :D

Trump wouldn’t care a toss if every single member of his campaign team from top to bottom died tomorrow. He lost, he doesn’t need them anymore, and his paranoid mind probably thinks they’re part of the imaginary conspiracy against him anyway, so fuck ’em.
The good news for Trump is, reinfections of covid are impossible.
What reinfections mean for COVID-19
COVID-19 reinfections — what do we know so far?
Wait, oops, I meant to say possible and known to happen. Also of note that it can be worse the second time around, as the virus appears to be mutable enough to appear to the immune system as a new virus.
Please let him catch it again and become terrified anew…
And be too sick to do anything for weeks…like, say, eleven weeks. And then feel like crap for months and months and months, while Deutsche Bank seizes all the things.
