News came out today that White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus.
Jim Acosta tried to blame her for not wearing a mask at a briefing yesterday when she was outdoors and socially distanced from anyone.

— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) October 5, 2020 As my colleague Sister Toldjah wrote earlier, you had crazy tweets from reporters such as the one from CBS correspondent Ben Tracy.
I felt safer reporting in North Korea than I currently do reporting at The White House. This is just crazy.

Just so much idiocy.
But here’s the thing on top of that.
The White House Press Corps had three members diagnosed with the virus last week on Friday, according to CNN. So the reporters had it before McEnany did, so it’s more likely she got it from them. Three coming down with it and a White House staffer who sits in the lower press area and has close contact with reporters also getting it suggests that’s where a concentration might be.
SNIP
So two of them were at the White House on Saturday, the day of the ACB event, and one was also there on Sunday. Then one was also on Air Force One with Trump on the trip to Pennsylvania.
So not only might they have passed it on to the staffer, they might have passed it on to others as well, including Trump.

N Korea ? Otto Warmbier solution. Beat the s out someone the go into a coma then die. C. the BS.
From a member of the WH press pool:

“... there certainly have been folks in the press briefing room not heeding the precautions.”
Whether intentional or not the press is a very possible source.
I’d make the media wear gas masks and face shields
I’ll say this once. China and the MSM and the DNC started this shit. They turned the lions loose. We will eat at our leisure.
Sounds like it. Those filthy reporters may have purposely contaminated the briefing room while waiting for the press secretary to show up. It would be interesting to view the security camera tapes. Why aren't the reporters being tested before they enter the press room? Violation of their civil right they would argue?

As a matter of course federal agencies should be conducting an exhaustive investigation. It cannot be left uncertain if this was or wasn’t an assassination attempt.
They must be.
LOL!
who are the other two?
2 Oct: WaPo: Three White House journalists test positive for coronavirus after closely covering Trump
By Paul Farhi
Three journalists, including New York Times correspondent Michael D. Shear, tested positive for the coronavirus on Friday, as did a White House
5 Oct: NYT: As Virus Invades West Wing, White House Reporters Face Heightened Risks
At least three correspondents have tested positive for the coronavirus, along with the press secretary and two of her deputies.
By Michael M. Grynbaum
At least three White House correspondents have tested positive for the virus in recent days, including a New York Times reporter, Michael D. Shear. All had recently covered official White House events or traveled on Air Force One. Other reporters with potential exposure are being tested daily or self-quarantining as a precaution...
John Roberts, the Fox News correspondent who briefly removed his mask during an on-camera exchange with Ms. McEnany at her Thursday briefing, said he was feeling healthy but was considering a virus test in light of the press secretary’s announcement.
“I can’t say that I’m surprised at all,” Mr. Roberts said during a Fox News segment on Monday, “because whatever infection and mode of transmission that has seized the White House, it has literally gone through that building like a scythe.”
The White House Correspondents’ Association, which negotiates with the administration over access and safety issues, said in a statement that it would continue encouraging its members to work remotely if they did not have pressing business at the White House...

I’d feel safer if these reporters were in North Korea, too.
And which agencies do you suggest could be trusted to do this?
An OUTSIDE agency needs to be hired to do this and it needs to be done stealthy!!
Lol @ and which do you suggest, affectation.
First of all, there should not be any press briefings. Second, if you don’t like the venue, stay home, or go jump in the Potomac.
I would not allow the media on White House grounds... National security.
I have been posting that all over facecrock and they keep taking it down.It burns their ass apparently.
+1!!
I thought this a high probability all along.
Actually wondered earlier this year if the demon media hoards would be the deflecting trojan horses. Some are known to be tied to intel agencies, and foreign governments.
Worse, a young leftist, or group of asymptomatic leftist press individual[s] (no temperature, etc...), could well have intentionally muled the virus. In fact, they could have made sure it was spread everywhere.
The left could care less of people die. In fact they push it.
Can you say “Nancy’s arrows”.
Motive and means are very much there. And now a possible crime trail appears to become more evident.
