“Some idiot reporter at today’s briefing accusingly asked why everyone meeting with POTUS had to be tested...”
Occam’s Razor: reporter’s hopes dashed.
And my question: why are Pres and VP together among all these vectors? it’s painful to see because a vision of Pelosi comes to mind!
Yep, that is the reality of it.
Your other point was sort of answered in today's briefing. Again a reporter tried to make a big thing about Trump, Pence and the rest being so close together on the podium. Trump didn't give much of an answer (he obviously thought it was stupid) but Fauci came up a little while later, clearly irritated with the question, and said, to paraphrase, "the reason I'm not worried about it is I was tested yesterday and it came back negative. VP Pence was tested yesterday."
Of course any idiot would realize that the WH is a carefully controlled environment even in normal times. Maybe not for contagious diseases at all times but that's just part of the current threat assessment.
But that isn't why the propagandist asked it is it?
