It's Sunday, so not much makes the news today.

Meanwhile, people who have been exposed to people who just tested positive on Friday or Saturday are incubating as I write. Tomorrow, we are very likely to hear about additional positive tests among that group, as they get their own tests done.

In many cases, people don't always test positive right away. In fact, it can take several days from exposure to a positive test result.

Since the Trumpsters have made a veritable fetish of eschewing masks and actively mingling as if there weren't a pandemic, I expect to see additional Senators, White House Staffers, and Cabinet members testing positive this week, probably starting on Monday. Worried folks will be trooping in to be tested as the work week begins.

Likely to become infected, I think, are William Barr, VP Pence, quite a number of Senators who lunch daily together unmasked, Kayleigh MAGAninny, and various and sundry White House staff members. Barr was up close and personal, for example, with Kellyanne Conway at the SCOTUS Justice announcement.

Wait for it. There's more to come. Probably much more. Next week will reveal more than anyone expects, I believe.
