Trump Surrogates To Show Contempt For Public Health & Safety On Campaign Trail: Spreaders
- 1st presidential Debate, Maskless Trump Offspring.
Not content with Donald Trumps one-man superspreader tour, the Trump campaign is launching several tries at infecting still more people with the coronavirus directly and personally, rather than just through Trumps negligence on a national level.
At least nine different Trump surrogates who should be quarantining, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, will instead be out campaigning later this week, HuffPosts Jessica Schulberg reports. Mike Pence, of course, leads the list. After Wednesday nights vice presidential debate, the leader of the White House coronavirus task force will be campaigning in Nevada and Arizona on Thursday. Pence attended the Sept. 26 announcement event for Amy Coney Barrett.
Additionally, Donald Trump Jr. will be at an event in Florida, Eric Trump will be at two events in North Carolina, and Lara Trump will be at a Women for Trump event in Pennsylvania. All three were at last weeks presidential debate, visibly refusing to wear masks. Joining Lara Trump at Women for Trump will be Mercedes Schlapp and Katrina Pierson, who were also at the presidential debate.
Others out campaigning for Trump while hes home with COVID-19 include South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who attended a Minnesota fundraiser with Trump last Wednesday, a time when he was reportedly starting to show symptoms of illness. Former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who will be in Florida, was at the Sept. 26 Amy Coney Barrett event.
The CDC guidelines are to quarantine for 14 days if you were in close contact with someone who has COVID-19, with close contact defined as being within six feet of the person for 15 minutes or more or having direct physical contact with them...

the Cleveland Clinic in charge of public health at the 1st debate. Inexcusable in a pandemic.
They let the Trump & Co. in the audience go w/masks, and didn't catch Trump who was intentionally late to avoid testing.

When just his spawn and their clown contingents are involved, and not Trump himself.
I hope there is enforcement every place they go that has rules.
Given the spawn's history, monitoring (and then enforcing compliance when needed) would be the responsible thing for local officials to do.
