Those who have tested positive:

Rep. Neal Dunn R FL
Rep. Tom Rice R SC
Rep. Louie Gohmert Jr. R TX
âberated for wearing masksâ
This is more then insane.
I hope that any and all of our elected representatives that spew this nonsense gets voted out of office.
I donât have much empathy for these staffers, to be honest. They knew who he was when they agreed to work for him and take a paycheck from him. Itâs sick of Gohmert, but they were not forced to be there either.
The TOP (president, VP/head of corona task force):
Issued guidance to wear masks at the beginning of April, but didnât wear one publicly until more than 3 months later
Appeared publicly in MASK-REQUIRED locations without a mask
Stated directly that people wearing masks are signaling their disapproval of him
Didnât require a mask at rally in state whose governor was âjust following the presidentâs guidelinesâ (sic)
And now weâre learning that the presidentâs sycophantic defenders in congress are putting their staffers in harmâs way by forcing them to come to work in some asinine attempt at proving that itâs safe to just pretend everything is normal.
âWho listens to the presidentâ they asked when he took a sharpie to Alabama before a hurricane.
Excellent post. This nails it. And it cascades down from there as well to the public that are supportive of Trump and his sycophants in the GOP.
The net result? A devastated economy. America being the only developed nation in the world to have not flattened the curve. Americans banned from travelling basically anywhere of significance outside of our own borders. And over 150,000 dead brothers and sisters, while barreling straight over a cliff where we will see over 250,000 dead by the end of the year.
The buck absolutely stops with Trump and Pence on this.
Check out Pence and DeVos just a few minutes ago as well, sans masks.
They were just showing the numbers for the children infected in various counties is Florida.
A pretty steady increase this past week. As one expert said the other night, schools can space kids out.
And they can control the water fountains and meal service. They can get PPE and the cleaning agents they need. But she said that she has not heard one person talk about the air handling systems in the schools. And her point was that having children be in a room for hours with re-circulating air could have a really bad outcome.
It is a very, very fair concern as well. Also, the notion that all children can be contained or controlled within the school is unrealistic. Especially when dealing with children under the age of 8 or 9. K-3rd in particular will be highly problematic.
