Lawyer Jenna Ellis COVID + now.  I'm fine with Trump staying at Mar-a-Lago after New Years ---allows  for White House extensive disinfection with UV lights all areas. This is way too many people with virus shedding in the WH, way too many super spreader events there.

President Trump's lawyer Jenna Ellis has informed associates she has coronavirus, multiple sources tell Axios, stirring West Wing fears after she attended a senior staff Christmas party on Friday.

I would say that I hope everyone at that staff party gets covid because anyone stupid enough to attend a party while this dreadful surge is happening deserves to get covid.  However, while my sympathy's for Trump's lawyer is zero whom these people might spread it to does concern me.  They could actually kill someone.  Sad that they don't understand that.

How Biden aims to Covid-proof his administration

Quote

 

Because the coronavirus can linger on surfaces for multiple days, a team deployed by the General Services Administration will go over every part of the White House's East and West Wings touched by human hands in the hours after Trump departs and Biden moves in, a spokesperson from the agency confirmed to POLITICO. That includes plans to "thoroughly clean and disinfect" all furniture, doorknobs, handrails and light switches, before Biden and his team move in. Additionally, a private contractor will provide "disinfectant misting services" to clear the air of lingering droplets.
