Max Schlapp has revealed that he came into contact with one of the two people who attended CPAC that were infected with coronavirus. later, he met president Trump on the stage and the two men shook hands. That means that Schlapp may have given the president coronavirus without meaning to of course. it also shows how in a country of 330 million people, how easy it is for it to become an epidemic.
Most of the fatalities to the disease is among the elderly and the infirm. In fact 15 of the 21 deaths in the United States occurred at one nursing home in Washington state. Ted Cruz has put himself under voluntary quarantine as he made contact with one of the victims at CPAC himself. He will stay out of Washington this week and see if he comes down with the disease.
We have already seen people get the disease from incidental contact, so it’s possible it could spread among attendees of CPAC. Hopefully, the president will not come down with it but it also shows us that in order to keep the president safe, they need to limit his contact. Democrats are calling for Trump to stop having rallies because of the virus but they refuse to do the same with their own rallies.
Matt Schlapp joined FOX and Friends Weekend on Sunday morning to discuss the ACU announcement. Schlapp said he was in contact with the coronavirus patient last night and the person is doing well.
Matt Schlapp: “I did. I did. I had incidental contact with him very briefly. That is something that concerns everybody… He’s in quarantine… He (the patient) had no contact with the president and vice presidnet… We had Purell and hand sanitizer stations — I think over 30 of then all over the conference. I think everybody was scrubbing down all the time because they realized they were at a very big public event… I can tell you, when the president was on site at CPAC, he lives by what he tells us. Because I saw him scrubbing down his hands and clean his hands more than once while he was on the premises… The patient was there most of the time… We are not alarmed at all.”
