Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson has tested positive for coronavirus, joining a remarkably long list of people associated with President Trump and the administration who’ve gotten similar diagnoses. Carson attended Trump’s election night party at the White House, as did Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Meadows is among six other administration figures who’ve tested positive in the last week, the New York Times reports.

Meadows was seen at the mostly maskless event on November 3, the Associated Press reports, “working the room, including giving several fist bumps to those in attendance.” He also visited Trump campaign headquarters in Arlington earlier that day.

Emphasis added.

Let's use this thread to keep track of who tests positive from this mess.

Is there a running list?
 
Does David Bossie count? Or is 'litigation' a discrete superspreader event?

David Bossie, who was named to lead Trump effort to challenge election results, tests positive for coronavirus
 
At least three more Trump world insiders have tested positive for the coronavirus just weeks after the White House and GOP were crippled by a major outbreak ensnaring the president.

Corey Lewandowski, the Trump adviser who has been bringing bogus illegal voting and election fraud lawsuits, tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, The New York Times and several other outlets reported.

Republican National Committee chief of staff Richard Walters has also contracted the virus, NBC reports. And a longtime GOP strategist and lobbyist, Jeff Miller, who was at the White House on Election Night, has also tested positive, sources told Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs.

So two superspreading events for Trump. Now that is leadership!

It seems it may be more when you include all of them, like rallies etc. Pretty much all of his rallies when a significant percent are neither socially distancing nor wearing masks...
 
75yo billionaire donor and her husband attended and now have covid.
 
WASHINGTON — More than 130 Secret Service agents assigned to protecting the White House or President Trump are isolating after they tested positive for the coronavirus or had contact with an infected colleague, according to a new report.

The outbreak has been linked to the slew of rallies that Trump did in the weeks before the Nov. 3 presidential election and has sidelined approximately 10 percent of the agency’s core security team, the Washington Post reported Friday.
