Trump valet tests positive for SARS-CoV-2

If I were President Trump, I would be pretty upset too. When you are the President, it should be made sure that people you are in contact with in a time like this are free of the virus.
(But, I often wonder that unless you test everyone a couple of times per day, there is going to be a period where maybe someone tested negative, but then caught the virus and was in contact with the President.)

If folks are still working in the WH (they should minimize that), I don't understand why they wouldn't all wear masks. (Maybe they do and it's just the camera folks that don't wear them)
Putting aside all political biases, a healthy functioning government is pretty essential at a time like this.

Second Mike Pence Staffer Reportedly Tests Positive
A staffer in Vice President Mike Pence’s office has tested positive for coronavirus, NBC News reported Friday.
The unidentified staffer is the second confirmed case of COVID-19 in Pence’s office since mid-March. Initial reports indicate the staffer has not been in contact with the vice president since contracting the virus.
“We know that this person wasn’t scheduled to travel with the vice president today,” NBC News reporter Hans Nichols said on air. “The vice president had his flight delayed, though, and members of the pool that always travel with him did see some staff members and the vice president leave the plane and then the plane took off without them. What I am told, according to a senior administration official, is that the staffer who tested positive on the VP’s staff was not on the plane.”

Personally, I think that both Trump and Pence should have set an example to the rest of the country by wearing masks. Nothing to do with politics, I feel the same way about Democrat leaders. All the bullshit justifications in the world have been shown to be just that since two people close to them have been infected.

Actually the two people close to them have been infected and they were not.
Even though they wore no mask.
This proves that not wearing a mask in the presence of the virus is OK.

This is the kind of well thought out logic that put Boris Johnson in intensive care.

It sounds a bit like a bloke playing Russian roulette pulling the trigger, and when nothing happens shouting "That proves it! - Or maybe not!"
