More than 130 Secret Service officers assigned to the White House and President Donald Trump's travels have recently tested positive for COVID-19 or are quarantining because they might have been exposed to the virus, The Washington Post reported on Friday, citing three people familiar with agency staffing.
The sources told The Post that the outbreak might be connected to the president's campaign stops before Election Day. Trump traveled to several states to hold rallies, where many people did not take measures to help curb virus transmission, such as wearing masks and social distancing.
"Being down more than 100 officers is very problematic," a former senior Secret Service supervisor told the newspaper. "That does not bode well for White House security."
The number represents about 10% of the 1,300 Secret Service officers who work for the White House and the vice president's residence and provide security during presidential trips and official events, The Post reported...

“Get ready for an assassination attempt.”
I am afraid you may be right...
We have at least 5 at my office test positive and one guy calling out sick twice and getting paid for two weeks off. He took his sweet time to get tested twice and NEG.
The others were back in a week.
Careful with those kind of postings....
Test em again
False positives and really they are all nearly fake anyway.
PCR is a manipulated fraud....
“... Right now he’s on the ropes but they won’t stop until he’s run out of town with his tail between his legs.”
In “gubbermint,” it is possible to apply every green, egalitarian feminist, gay and minority special interest agenda. It is possible to have all the buildings energy star compliant, supporting small minority owned businesses, and buy fleets of cars that are green like the Volt (your department/agency might not have, but others have). It is possible to hire an army of people watching parking lots all day, just go to DC.
Because in government, success and failure is merely tied to what your rating official and senior rater decide to rate you on, you can be damn near a corpse and get a high rating, but if they don’t like you, it’s not like the civilian sector where you have a value based on what you earn the company. Decisions are made using distributed responsibility (committee). There is a veil of secrecy on a lot of things. And of course in a massive faceless bureaucracy you can’t even figure out who it was that made a decision (anonymity). Then, depending on where you’re at, folks are constantly rotating in and out, and at the senior most levels the leadership is mostly political hacks that often don’t even know the ins and outs of the organization they are tasked to lead, but they are very loyal to their political master.
And then there are those that think running your health care, education, transportation, etc. is best done by the professionals in government. Yeah-
What a coincidence! And an even bigger one that they are reporting it for all to see after all the massive election fraud.
if it weren’t for the ELECTION, no-one would notice the estimated ONE BILLION flu CASES annually:
11 March 2019: WHO: WHO launches new global influenza strategy
Every year across the globe, there are an estimated 1 billion cases, of which 3 to 5 million are severe cases, resulting in 290 000 to 650 000 influenza-related respiratory deaths...
https://www.who.int/news/item/11-03-2019-who-launches-new-global-influenza-strategy
Total covid cases worldwide: FIFTY-THREE MILLION.
6 Nov it was reported France had recorded 60,486 coronavirus cases in one day (THE EQUIVALENT OF APPROX 300,000 CASES IN US IN ONE DAY).
US scary covid CASES made the top headlines and extended news reports worldwide. France didn’t.
as for rash of restrictions/lockdowns being announced right now - they are more about suppressing Trump supporters from protesting the “Steal”:
Statista: Covid deaths per million at 13 Nov 2020
#1 Belgium 103.01 deaths per million (last 7 days)
#12 USA 17.75 deaths per million (last 7 days)
#16 Sweden 9.72 deaths per million (last 7 days)

what I’m trying to convey is CASES are a good thing. it means the virus is washing over the population. almost all are asymptomatic.
BUT, BECAUSE DEATHS WERE DROPPING PRECIPITOUSLY MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ELECTION, CASES BECAME A NEGATIVE - JUST A NEW WEAPON WITH WHICH TO ATTACK PRESIDENT TRUMP.
They’re all fit, healthy people in their prime. I’m sure they’ll be fine.
If Covid is as rampant as the media tells us then why would this be a surprise? Or newsworthy?
BINGO!
People die all the time. What gets hammered in the news is what sticks out in their mind, example when “stranger danger” was a slogan and folks were/are afraid to let their children play outside unless they are watching them like a hawk. It’s no more dangerous today than it was in the past, statistically speaking over all.
This is not the first disease like this that has rolled across our country and Europe since the 1960s: advent of mass movement of people and goods (thank you globalization).
In fact, this is nothing spectacular, except that today we can devise a test for it, get a picture of the virus, and plaster it on TV in a matter of weeks and of course use it politically ruthlessly while in opposition politics.
Now those stoking the fire are in charge (at least they hope so)... and will want this to go away, because once in charge and responsible, suddenly the economic impact, the effects this has even on issues like national security are a concern, whereas before it was someone else’s problem and in fact the bigger those problems were, the better.
Actually I sneezed because I think I have a cold, and now I’m at home 10 days quarantined.
“Gubbermint” Idiocracy.
