This is not how any of this works

Lol.

As for where the Secret Service is … well, they’re in quarantine:

 Multiple members of the U.S. Secret Service have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to Department of Homeland Security documents reviewed by Yahoo News. 

In March, the Secret Service, which is responsible for the protection of President Trump and other leaders, acknowledged that a single employee tested positive in March. However the problem is currently far more widespread, with 11 active cases at the agency as of Thursday evening, according to a daily report compiled by the DHS. 

This report comes as a pair of cases among White House staffers close to Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have put the West Wing’s coronavirus security procedures in the spotlight.

According to the DHS document, along with the 11 active cases there are 23 members of the Secret Service who have recovered from COVID-19 and an additional 60 employees who are self-quarantining. No details have been provided about which members of the Secret Service are infected or if any have recently been on detail with the president or vice president.

The DHS, which oversees the agency, referred all requests for comment to the Secret Service, which in turn declined to comment on the number of coronavirus cases among its employees. 

“To protect the privacy of our employee’s health information and for operational security, the Secret Service is not releasing how many of its employees have tested positive for COVID-19, nor how many of its employees were, or currently are, quarantined,” Justine Whelan, a Secret Service spokesperson, said.  

The president doesn’t think testing is necessary. He wants this the virus to “wash over the country” so he can win the election. (Yes, I know that allowing massive numbers of Americans to die an excruciating death seems like an odd electoral strategy, but he’s just thinking outside the box. You, know, like injecting Lysol. Or buying massive amounts of a drug that doesn’t work.)

The virus is obviously spreading inside the White House. Trump was reportedly “lava level” angry to discover that members of his staff haven’t been “protecting him.”

He clearly does not understand how this works. He doesn’t understand how any of this works:
