Jha, the new dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health, tweeted Friday: “This is a nightmare. COVID-19 is a serious infection, especially for someone who is older like Mr. Trump. I can’t believe he was infected. This is a total failure by WH team to protect the President.”
This is a nightmare.

Trump tweeted Friday that he’s quarantining in the White House, along with wife Melania, who also tested positive for the coronavirus.
A White House official says the president is experiencing “mild symptoms.”
Trump has spent much of the year downplaying the threat of a virus, which has killed more than 207,000 Americans.
Trump KNEW Hopey Hicks had contracted the deadly Covid virus on Wed. Yet he went to a Fundraiser in NJ on Thursday! And a reporter from Bloomberg reported this news, not the White House. Amazing.
Doesn’t that fool know Trump’s infection is a part the Administrations attempt to create herd immunity among members of the Administration.
