2. Well, this is a lie

"Contact tracing has been conducted by the White House Medical Unit consistent with CDC guidelines to stop further transmission. Appropriate notifications and recommendations have been made," the statement said.

7. Just because "recommendations have been made" doesn't mean the trump team will comply.

But the WHMU can keep trying! Or not!?

I say quit testing them. Just let them all infect each other.

3. Biden may want to think about temporary housing and offices for a few weeks.

The WH needs to be gutted, fumigated, and completely disinfected.

4. and a good deep sage rub

Call Marianne Williamson

6. Exactly

Drive out the evil.

5. Might need to cover the WH...

... with one of those huge bomb tents to keep the disinfectant fumes contained and concentrated.

15. + agree. nt

8. I was just going to post that.

[ancianita]

9. Trump's stubbornness may be a blessing in disguise.

I don't want Biden or anyone associated with his staff
anywhere near the WH or any Republican.

11. I hope Trump gets the virus again.

Second infections are known to happen, and he obviously takes no precautions. Given how quickly he recovered, I’m not sure he even had the virus. I remember reading a speculation somewhere that he needed immediate treatment for something else and the virus was the lesser of the two conditions to claim. We can never believe a word Trump says, and his doctors have lied for him in the past.

17. White House of Corona to the tune of Hotel California

12. They have zero, repeat ZERO sympathy. What a bunch of willfully ignorant, brainwashed, MF'ers

[SergeStorms]

13. Can they 'tent' the White House?

It's a big place, but they'll have to take some special precautions to 'de-Trump' the place. Might as well tent for termites and cockroaches while they're at it. I'm sure Trump has "hamberders" stashed all over the place.

16. They might as well prepare for those contingencies.

Fumigate for rats with bubonic plague carrying fleas. The whole nine yards.

18. That "400-person" Election Celebration and Watch party became yet another super-spreader event

That is where Meadows and Carson contracted it too.
