Default Pence staff slammed by COVID-19

https://www.mediaite.com/news/new-pe...r-coronavirus/


Vice President Mike Pence‘s chief of staff Marc Short has tested
positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus, it was reported late on Saturday
night. He is the latest of several members of staff from the office of
the Vice President, who is also head of the Coronavirus Task Force, to
test positive.

“Today, Marc Short, Chief of Staff to the Vice President, tested
positive for COVID-19, began quarantine and assisting in the contact
tracing process,” said Pence spokesman Devin O’Malley in a statement,
confirming the diagnosis. He clarified that Pence was also tested. “Vice
President Pence and Mrs. Pence both tested negative for COVID-19 today,
and remain in good health.”

“While Vice President Pence is considered a close contact with Mr.
Short, in consultation with the White House Medical Unit, the vice
president will maintain his schedule in accordance with the C.D.C.
guidelines for essential personnel,” he added.

In their reporting, the New York Times adds that White House chief of
staff Mark Meadows “had sought to keep news of the outbreak from
becoming public,” citing “two people briefed on the matter.”

Moreover, they add, Short is not the only person in Pence’s office who
is positive for Covid. “At least three top advisers to Vice President
Mike Pence have tested positive for the coronavirus in the last few
days,” they write. “A Trump adviser briefed on the outbreak, who was not
authorized to speak publicly, said that Pence adviser Marty Obst also
tested positive in the last few days. Mr. Obst’s positive test was first
reported by Bloomberg News.”

President Donald Trump on Saturday complained that the media talk too
much about Covid.

“Covid, covid,” said Trump. “Covid, covid, covid. Covid.”

UPDATE – 8:15 a.m. ET: The Times’ updated reporting says 3 other members
of Pence’s office staff have also tested positive for the coronavirus,
bringing the infection total to 5.

Nearly 230,000+ Americans will never recover from the incompetence of
Donald Trump.

It really looks like you are going to be vaccinated or you are going
to get Covid. I don't see it going any other way, particularly with
people like government apparatchiks who are in a crowd all day long
and some of those people spend time with the public at large.
