The potentially deadly novel Coronavirus that Donald Trump and his administration have tried so desperately to ignore has now come knocking on their doors after CPAC, where literally dozens upon dozens of high-profile members of the Republican party lived it up over the course of a few days only to find out that two of the individuals there were infected with COVID-19.
Now, more than a handful of key GOP members are under self-quarantine as they bide their time and wait to see if the fever, shortness of breath, and cough start to show up over the course of the next two to fourteen days. I can only imagine it will prove to be the longest two weeks of their lives. And God knows I’d be willing to bet my last paycheck that they’re wishing Trump had been a bit more diligent about the matter right about now — now that it’s their own lives and well-being at stake instead of just average, everyday humans as it has been.
But now it seems that lady karma might not be done with Donald Trump himself either.
As it turns out, one of the high-profile GOPers that are currently under self-quarantine awaiting Coronavirus symptoms was just recently in very close contact with the president. And we’ve got the pictures to prove it.

Republican Representative Doug Collins recently revealed on his social media account that he was exposed to one of the individuals at CPAC who later tested positive for COVID-19 after a photo of himself with the person emerged.
This afternoon, I was notified by CPAC that they discovered a photo of myself and the patient who has tested positive for #COVID19.
While I am not experiencing any symptoms, I have decided to self-quarantine out of an abundance of caution.

But that’s not the only picture the Trump administration should be concerned about.
Photos have now begun to circulate on social media showing Rep. Collins shaking hands with Donald Trump directly after CPAC, just hours after he was unknowingly exposed to the virus.

It appears as though it could be just a matter of time before Trump is the one spreading coronavirus all over the country.
Ready to send those tests out yet, Donnie?
