BELLEAIR, FL.— A member of the press who traveled with President Donald Trump during his trip to the Tampa Bay area Friday has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the White House Correspondent’s Association.

The association’s president, Zeke Miller, a reporter for the Associated Press, wrote in a message to the group’s members Sunday about the member’s positive test.

...


The positive test came barely a day after the journalist stood in close proximity to dozens of other reporters, photographers — and the country’s top elected official at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair.

Also in the room with the journalist was Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Rick Scott, State Sen. Wilton Simpson, Pinellas County Commissioner Kathleen Peters and State Rep. Danny Perez.

1. Probably got it from Trump, DeSantis, or Scott

[PatSeg]

3. I'm really wondering if Trump

has tested positive and they won't tell us. If he really did go to Walter Reed the other day, maybe that was why.

I honestly don't think the White House would tell us if Trump got COVID-19. They aren't known to tell us the truth.

4. I Agree. He looks scared.

[IronLionZion]

7. Several spouses and significant others of Trump officials have tested positive

which makes it hard to believe that these assholes have not. They've been meeting with all sorts of people in close quarters without masks. Several of his security detail and staff have tested positive. It all seems very suspicious.

12. Very suspicious

I think there are far more cases in the White House than they are letting on.

[FarPoint]

15. I think they get prophylactic

Convalescent plasma.. maybe monthly..just a hunch.

[moonscape]

10. If so, they'll only tell us once he tests negative

so to say it was no big deal. Hard to imagine at his weight and age how CV would leave him upright, but guess he's just inhuman enough to escape consequences.

[PatSeg]

13. I wouldn't be surprised

Then he can claim, he was saved by hydroxy!

[FarPoint]

14. I still think he gets doses of...

IV convalescent plasma.. maybe monthly

[ybbor]

5. I think he has it

He’s passing it on to everyone around him.

[IronLionZion]

8. COVID Donny, like Typhoid Mary

[Walleye]

9. He's probably intentionally spreading it, just for spite.

[NurseJackie]

2. The virus is getting closer and closer to Trump.

[SoCalNative]

11. Typhoid Trumpy strikes again

16. this

"According to the Tampa Bay Times, after the event the reporters gathered in a bar area as Trump participated in a fundraiser.
Some of the reporters took off their masks to eat or drink, the Times reported."
