Attendees of Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner have started testing positive for COVID-19, after the comedic headliner Trevor Noah joked that they were attending 'the nation's most distinguished superspreader event.'

Most notably, ABC News' Jonathan Karl tested positive Monday night, Politico first reported, after being seated next to Kim Kardashian at the dinner and briefly interacting with President Joe Biden.

'He tested positive for COVID Monday night, but tested negative on Saturday afternoon before the White House Correspondents' Dinner by medically-supervised staff,' a person familiar with the matter told Politico. 'He had no symptoms on Saturday. Jon is currently isolating and participating in contact tracing.'

Why are people still being tested?

Why doesn’t any of these people ever die from it?

Be thankful if you only contract COVID.

Oh my….. “cases”. The horror, the horror. Soon the funeral pyres will be blazing. 🙀🙀

Stop all the damn testing of healthy people. If you’re sick, then get tested. Otherwise, the hell with it.

There's a higher Comedian in command.

Noah asked, “Didn’t you learn anything from the Gridiron Dinner?”
Guess not!

Why doesn’t any of these people ever die from it?

Because their private physicians prescribe ivermectin at the first sign of symptoms, while in public, the same people try with all their might to withhold ivermectin from the rest of us peasants.

And Jonathan Karl attacked Trump over COVID.

Gayle King attended the nerd prom and irresponsibly went on CBS Mornings set Monday hacking and coughing and sneezing on everyone. I guess they told her to take Tuesday off and see a doctor.

so many people still running to get tested at the slightest sign of sniffles. I hear about it all the time at work. Pathetic people really.

[logi_cal869]

Show me one confirmed COVID lab test coupled with more than a sniffle.

Until then, this demonstrates that ‘cases’ will be the cudgel through the election.

The other shoe is about to drop.

Great excuse to get the day off and hopefully hit the jackpot with a positive test and the next 7 days off.
