“Temperature checks are now being performed on any individuals who are in close contact with the President.”

So, not Melania, then.

Right on it, aren’t they? After tRump has probably spread it to multitudes, all part of tRump’s revenge because we don’t like him.

Unfortunately it wouldn’t be the first thing Trump has spread to multitudes.

People in contact with #TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER should hope that he does not test positive and if he is, that he is NOT a super spreader!

Update:
Another one that needs to be tested…
AND for a surgeon…NOT practicing safe Covid-19 guidelines
BAD Example!

She’s been self-quarantining herself from Trump for years. Only mandatory contact.

Seems like if anyone is in close contact with Trump, they should be getting IQ tests at the same time.

Signs and Symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19)


-Not everyone with a SARS-CoV-2 infection will feel unwell. It’s possible to have the virus and not develop symptoms. When symptoms are present, they’re typically mild and develop slowly.

In other words, you can be infected, be well but you are a asymptomatic carrier.
Fever is not a good indicator of an infection. IMHO-the entire WH should be in lock-down for the next 14 days. By lock down I mean everyone stay in the WH, not allowed to go home. That would be worth watching because of their screw up.

Those devices are known to read erratically and unreliably, typically +/- 3 degrees, when +/- 0.1 degrees is necessary.

Um, you don’t “test” a temperature, unless you mean you are subjecting a test subject to various temperatures. You take, measure, check, or sample a temperature.

He might turn out to be a super-spreader. Urgh. I hope Dems don’t get near him.

Anyone who’s been in close contact with Trump should jump into a scalding hot shower and rinse themselves off with bleach shampoo. Even before the virus came around.
