Oops.
All of President Donald Trump’s campaign staffers who attended his rally in Tulsa on Saturday are quarantining this week after interacting with several colleagues later tested positive for coronavirus, CNN has learned.
Now about all those people in the audience…
After eight staffers tested positive, several of the campaign’s top officials decided to quarantine for the week instead of going into the office, two sources familiar with the situation told CNN. Staff had only recently returned to the office after months of working from home because of coronavirus restrictions.
They’re working to re-elect the guy who put them in harm’s way for his own selfish purposes.
The fallout from Trump’s push to hold a rally with thousands of attendees has continued in the days since he returned from Tulsa — and as the nation as a whole remains engulfed by the pandemic. The three most populous states set records for new coronavirus cases daily and there are fears of “apocalyptic” surges in major Texas cities if the trend continues.
Can we quarantine Texas?
Florida and Texas announced Wednesday that they’d recorded more than 5,000 new Covid-19 cases the prior day, a new daily record. California reported more than 7,000 cases, obliterating a record hit a day earlier.
On Wednesday night, CNN confirmed that multiple Secret Service officers were also instructed to self-quarantine after two of their colleagues who were on site for the rally tested positive.
Well just stop testing them and everything will be fine!

Meanwhile, Trump will not follow quarantine guidelines in NJ. And the reason?
(My bolding.) So if he’s not a civilian, what is he?
It would be poetic justice if the buffoon turned out to be a super-spreader.
Like hell he’s not a civilian!
Telling, though, isn’t it? All part of the narrative that Trump is above the law.
Trump, the man who took the civil out of civilian.
Trump is the monster under the bed, moved out into daylight. Okay, my monsters were never orange, they were green, but maybe the sunlight turned them orange.
How is that bloated gut-on-legs going to fit under a bed?
“Mummy! Daddy! My beds floating!”
“It’s alright, sweetheart, it’s just resting on the Trumpalo’s massive belly. If you sit right up on the pillows and your sister sits at the bottom, you can have a lovely see-saw game before sleep.”
AoS, somehow you manage to make it sound like fun.

Easy. He’s military! The most militaryest military (or militant) guy in the nation, more so even than his own generals. He’s said so himself many times. Next step: pinning a bunch of medals to himself.
Can we quarantine Texas?
Yes, but for more than COVID-19.
@Holms,
Yeah, I’m surprised he hasn’t taken to wearing a military uniform yet; that’s about the only trapping of dictatorship he’s foregone. If (the universe forbid) he were to win a second term, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start.
WaM, I wouldn’t bet against him already having a uniform hanging in his wardrobe – designed by Ivanka’s ‘ghost designer’ and made under the Trump label in a Chinese sweatshop, of course. It’s there for when being called ‘sir’ by generals starts to lose its thrill and he needs something stronger to maintain the buzz. Anyway, what self-respecting (yeah, I know, there are many, many words that could better follow ‘self-‘ there) Commander-in-Chief doesn’t have a uniform to go with the title. Only a loser would be boss of all the sojers and sailors and flying people and spaceforcemen and not have a yooniform. Obama didn’t have a yooniform, Obama just had a gate.
