Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to reports.

“Secretary Carson has tested positive for the coronavirus. He is in good spirits and feels fortunate to have access to effective therapeutics which aid and markedly speed his recovery,” Carson’s chief of staff Coalter Baker told ABC News.

Carson attended an election night party at the White House along with White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who announced Wednesday that he also tested positive for the virus.

Still no Commie-Rats getting COVID. Every bit as suspect as a Philadelphia election.

This is beginning to sound like — Secretary X has come down with the flu.

Gosh, how many of the 20 or so members of Trump’s team that went down with Covid die or were deathly sick?

I just tested positive about 1 hour ago. I have a head cold. A little strange but nothing I haven’t experienced during Hay Fever season in mid-April. I was exposed to the bat flu last Wednesday by someone who tested positive last Friday. Got my PCR test on Friday afternoon.

If I got tested, I would test positive as well. The jam packed Carnival cruise ending Feb 29 did it to me. But at age 80 I am healthy as a horse with daily aerobic exercise, so my body fought it off without getting seriously sick. Not afraid at all of covid-19...just another variety of influenza, killing mostly only people with multiple comorbidities. I am 100% sure I test positive for influenza every flu season. No big deal. My body vanquishes the virus before it can overwhelm my body.
