Washington, October 7 (RHC)-- The White House reportedly rejected an offer by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help with contact tracing, and many people put at risk say they have not been contacted.

Fears are rising over residence staff workers employed at Washington, D.C.’s largest coronavirus hot spot -- the White House.  

Ai-jen Poo, the director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, said in a statement: “The outbreak of coronavirus at our highest level of government highlights the urgent need to provide essential worker protections and comprehensive COVID relief for all of us.”

In related news, Bloomberg reports two of President Trump’s military aides tested positive.  The aides act as valets who always travel with the president, carrying nuclear launch codes in a briefcase known as the “nuclear football.” 

Trump took the football with him to Walter Reed hospital over the weekend, where he was administered the steroid dexamethasone, which has been linked to grandiose delusions and psychosis in some patients.  

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists wrote in response: “To state the obvious, we should not entrust nuclear launch authority to someone who is not fully lucid.”
