Ivanka Trump’s personal assistant has tested positive for coronavirus, according to CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins. This is at least the fourth confirmed White House coronavirus case including President Donald Trump’s valet, Vice President Donald Pence’s press secretary, and 11 secret servicemen.

In a tweet, Collins wrote, “The assistant, who works in a personal capacity, hasn’t been around Ivanka in several weeks & has been teleworking. Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner both tested negative today, source says.”

“Main street folks, middle-class, blue-collar folks, we want to get them back to work as soon as we safely can,” Kudlow told Fox Business’ Stuart Varney.

Epidemiologist, virologists, other medical experts, and the nation’s governors have all warned about the dangers of re-opening the nation too quickly. There has been no widespread coronavirus testing, and there are no FDA approved coronavirus antibody tests. It is also unclear if those who have the coronavirus antibody are protected from re-infection.

In late February Kudlow infamously declared the coronavirus was “contained,” and almost “airtight.” It was not.

Kudlow spoke to reporters late Tuesday morning. As usual he defended his false claims.
