Definitely need to put a fence around this one.
She coughs into her hand and then wants to shake people's hands. Really Gross.

Reporters on Capitol Hill are being asked to stay at least six feet away from senators this week to reduce the possibility of spreading the coronavirus while the Senate remains in session to work on stimulus legislation.
The Senate sergeant at arms has asked the media galleries to urge members to maintain six feet of distance from senators and from fellow journalists during their daily activities.
At least three senators have self-quarantined themselves in recent days because of possible contact with people suspected of being infected by coronavirus.
“Leadership has expressed concerns about the nature of ‘walk-and-talks’ and large scrums with lawmakers, because of the close quarters involved that can allow easier spread of serious illnesses,” Sarah Wire, chair of the Daily Press Gallery Standing Committee of Correspondents, and Leo Shane, chair of the Periodical Press Gallery Executive Committee, wrote in a letter to colleagues.

Your daughter’s wedding just got canceled but turn on the TV and you’ll see press gaggles of 50 or more everywhere you look.
Good idea, anyway, since their reptilian claws can easily slash you within that radius. :)
This 6-foot buffer zone thing is going to put a series damper on Joe Biden’s groping opportunities.
Ah, finally, using the “never let a good crisis go to waste” means of doing something that is good to do anyway!!!
wish I had the video of the media following a member of congress as they walked. They were all crowded in with no space and all moved together little baby steps at a time
It was quite something to watch
Whose....the reporters, or the Senators?
😱
Quarantine D.C. The Divide & Control POWER CENTER has CoVid - 535. It’s lethal.
Slaves to ‘rats in the Skinner-box of life.
I would ask that reporters AND senators stay at least 6 light years away from me.
so if this coronavirus supposedly can linger in the air for up to 3 hours, what good is staying 6 feet away when you’re gonna walk through a cloud of virus from someone 6 feet away who sneezed before you got there or sumthin?
I say we put reporters on the other side of the border wall- just6 to be safe-
Smart FReepers stay as far away as possible from politicians. Should not need repeating.
Definitely need to put a fence around this one.

Let’s not overdo it. I don’t want either politicians or reporters to be out of rifle range.
Keep a distance because of Corona virus AND because deodorant is not effective on reporters
The pampered princelings don’t want to get too close to those smelly commoners do they?
You’re right. Good job on paying attention.
Reporters must keep a distance of 6 feet from senators.
But not lobbyists.
Liberals are asking themselves, “how many days in a light year? Less than 365?”
Senators should likewise keep six-foot distance from reporters.
