Trump’s total disregard for the seriousness of Coronavirus has put another member of his administration in harm’s way. Mark Meadows, the Chief of Staff in Donald Trump’s administration, tested positive for Coronavirus on Friday.
He becomes only the latest person in President Donald Trump‘s orbit to come down with Covid-19, after an outbreak hit the president, his family and campaign and administration advisors last month. Meadows attended an election night gathering at the White House on Tuesday and stood by, wearing no mask, when Trump spoke at a Republican Party office earlier that day.
News of his positive test came a day after the U.S. set another record for new daily coronavirus infections with more than 120,000. Bloomberg, which first reported Meadows’ diagnosis, said Trump campaign aide Nick Trainer also tested positive for Covid-19.
