Here’s a rundown of who in Trump’s inner circle has tested negative, now that AG Barr has tested negative, rounding out the list of top Trump cabinet officials. To recap, the list of officials who have tested negative includes:
Pompeo
Mike Pence & Karen Pence
Mnuchin
Barr
Meadows
Jared & Ivanka
Dan Scavino
Amy Barrett
Barron Trump
Chad Wolf
Gen. Mark Milley
Alex Azar
John Ratcliffe
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani is in the process of getting tested, and we’re still waiting on Biden’s test results.
Joe Biden’s results are negative, according to press reports.
VP Pence being negative means continuity of Trump government, which is great news. I think Pelosi had her hopes dashed on that.
Ronna McDaniel has the virus..she met with Trump on Saturday for to introduce Barrett..McDaniel’s relative in Michigan also has the virus, I wonder if Ronna was the original carrier of this after she got it from her relative..just trying to connect the dots to see when they were all infected
You would think that his daily interaction with that list of people would create a large fraction of infections. Only Hope Hicks was mentioned as positive for the virus.
But of course state media has a field day blasting Trump for flouting cautions of virus spread.
What is clear is that many, many more people have the virus but no symptoms. They are asymptomatic, they have no idea they even have the virus.
And for most of those that contract the virus and show symptoms, their symptoms are mild.
A very small fraction of the population that is positive for the virus will actually develop full-blown dangerous COVID symptoms such as inability to breathe or pneumonia.
Scientists need to isolate with precision why certain people get dangerous symptoms. One way to do this is via genetic expression array testing to see what part of their genome overreacts to the virus.
