Several staffers for the Republican National Convention in Cleveland are reportedly being quarantined after falling ill from the norovirus.

Nearly a dozen California Republican staffers are being quarantined an hour outside of Cleveland in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus, according to Stat News.

The GOP staffers displayed symptoms of norovirus, but health officials are still running tests to confirm the cause of their illness.

“We’ve got about 11 who have been sick over the last few days, and we’ve been out there every day and working with them to eliminate the spread [between] the resort and the delegation from California,” Erie County Health Commissioner Peter Schade told Stat News.

The untraceable crime. Our government is run by “ends justify the means” operatives who have all the alphabet agencies fully in their control. They did not like this candidate telling the truth about them. Trump is just a citizen with money. He doesn't have secret police or bio weapons. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

“A dozen California Republican Party staff members, who arrived last week in Ohio ahead of the state’s delegates, have fallen ill with the virus, said Jim Brulte, chairman of the state GOP.

“’Our best guess is that this came from California,’Brulte said.”

Well, we know that they had a bag of dirty tricks planned for the convention, they were outed by a hacker.
