[Jim Kelly]

Would someone like to list all the people in the White House that are infected? I think some of them are famous. Or is that too political?

34 people connected to White House, more than previously known, infected by coronavirus: Internal FEMA memo

It also appears Trump and the Administration went out for several events in different States after they were infected.

Facts are only looked at as political by Republcans.

Last night on AEW Dynamite, Diamond Dallas Page offered congratulations to Chris Jericho for 30 years in the wrestling business. Page was diagnosed with COVID back in August, and he's still recovering from it, as some people were a little concerned about how he looked.

So don't tell me you can look all hunky-dorrie once it's out of your system.

Germany's minister of health, Jens Spahn, tested positive and has symptoms.

You can imagine that the anti-mask crowd is having a field day that the guy in charge of telling us how to stay safe got infected.

Hard to believe anything unhealthy could affect that body.

Covid of the not-so-super sons!

Donald Trump Jr has become infected.




Also Andrew Giuliani, who is either Rudy's son, or that of Gary Busey (which would make him Eric Trump's half brother).

And of course, from a few days ago:



Charles Ernest Grassley (born September 17, 1933), the president pro tempore of the United States Senate, and the senior United States senator from Iowa. Twitter icon.

And from the House, born the same year:



Don Young (born June 9, 1933) the U.S. Representative for Alaska's at-large congressional district since 1973. He is the Republican Party's longest-serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives in history, having represented Alaska for 24 terms.

From Wikipedia:

At a town hall in Palmer, Alaska, Young said about the coronavirus pandemic, "This is blown out of proportion about how deadly this is."[125] He continued, "It's deadly but it's not nearly as deadly as the other viruses we have … I call it the hysteria concept."[125] An emeritus professor of history from the University of Alaska Anchorage predicted, "Don Young will probably go down in history as the poster boy for COVID-19 ignorance and arrogance."[126] On March 17, 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic spread rapidly in the United States, Young missed the vote on a two-trillion bill that addressed dealing with the disease spread, and instead attended a National Rifle Association fundraiser.[127] As public awareness about the severity of the pandemic grew, Young walked back his denialism. By March 25, in a video message, he said the impact of COVID-19 is "very real, growing," and was reshaping our daily lives. While urging Americans to stay home he continued, "Weeks ago, I did not truly grasp the severity of this crisis, but clearly we are in the midst of an urgent public health emergency."[128]

On November 6, 2020, Young was photographed while not wearing a mask photographed at a birthday party for a staff member in an Anchorage restaurant. Numerous well known Alaska Republicans who attended, including former Lieutenant Governor Mead Treadwell, soon tested positive for COVID-19. On November 12, Young was diagnosed with coronavirus.[129] Young was admitted to Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage that day and was released on November 15, writing, "Very frankly, I had not felt this sick in a very long time, and I am grateful to everyone who has kept me in their thoughts and prayers." He confirmed to a Washington Post reporter that "many" of his campaign staff had become infected, as well as his wife, whom he said was asymptomatic.[130][129] Even after being diagnosed with COVID-19, Young continues to oppose mask mandates. However, he does support people following Center for Disease Control guidelines and wearing masks.[131]
