The entire fleet of Air Force One and Marine One will be grounded for a deep clean in an unprecedented measure in the wake of President Trump testing positive for Covid-19 on Thursday.
Two customized Boeing 747s, one of which carried Trump on Thursday, and several Sikorsky helicopters, often used to transport the president from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base, will be out of commission during the cleaning.

Update: Air Force One, Marine One crews who flew Trump get COVID tests, sanitize aircraft (McClatchy)
WNU Editor: It must be quite a job to "deep clean" the Air Force One and Marine One fleet. And to do it quickly in the event of an emergency.

Here's hoping every single white house reporter catches the bug.
Typhoid Trump is on the loose world, lookout. No amount of cleaning is getting that stank out. Hopefully, he infects more GOP members.
COVID has a very low fatality rate, extremely low.
Unless you live in a nursing home in a blue state.
Why Governor Cuomo (D) murdered 11,000 senior citizens all by himself.
So here we have white house reporters, I presume, coming down with this stuff. I would love to read an article that explains what these people did to become infected. I'm sick of numbers and quickly grew weary of speculation from all the camera hungry "experts" and their many contradictions, finger pointing, political attacks, and so forth.
In my experience I've not met anyone who has caught this stuff. I've heard of one family in a different state becoming infected.
I wear what is now termed the wrong mask and am aware of spacing but am not a hard core practioner.
Anybody else experiencing something different?
I heard of a little of a dozen students in the local school having to quarantine because they had it or were n contact with someone who did.
Over a dozen young uns and not one death or intubation. I am disappointed. Liberals said to being the popcorn and "no boom."
Seniors in nursing homes are another issue.m About 80 of them have died. Now, if a senior, a male (female), is 75 (79) that is the average age of death. Further, if they are 75 (79) and have a condition other than COVID that gets them placed in a nursing home, their average stay until death is 3 (5) months.
Now COVID comes along and shaves a few months off. So now instead of living 75 years and 3 months, it is 75 years and 1 month. The loss of a few months is sad, but the percentage lost overall is small. It is not a Katie bar the door crisis. It is just not. Anyone, who says otherwise, is a lying fucker.
