Pinal County sheriff says he tested positive for COVID-19 before planned Trump meeting

Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb announced on Wednesday afternoon that he tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

Lamb posted on the Pinal County Sheriff Office's Facebook page that he had been invited on Tuesday to join President Donald Trump at the White House and was tested before the meeting as part of the protocol.

"Unfortunately, as a law enforcement official and elected leader, we do not have the luxury of staying home," Lamb wrote. "This line of work is inherently dangerous, and that is a risk we take when we sign up for the job. Today, that risk is the COVID-19 virus."

Lamb said he believes he came into contact with an infected person during a campaign event he held on Saturday. Lamb didn't say if he wore a mask or practiced social distancing at the event.

Trump is guzzling a Lysol/Clorox cocktail and has a UV light up his ass as we speak.

He was tested before he met the president but did he know it was positive before he met with Trump?

there seems to be a problem with the protocol

why was he overing over Trump, perhaps 3' away, breathing his COVID-laden germs on him during their meeting?
