Wow, they must have a lot of test kits available if they're willing to subject press to daily screenings.

They’re hoping certain reporters will test positive, whence they can be welded into their offices and the building set on fire.
Just as likely has to do with what happened to Boris Johnson. With the briefing staff, who are also overseeing the response working the hours they are, their immune systems are compromised, never mind their ages.

With a red hot poker I hope.

assuming the answer to that question is a "YES" you could get their temps ANYWHERE you chose to probe cuz they're all such GIANT RECTUMS . . .

I think that may be a problem, what with their heads already shoved mightily into that same orifice.

Plus, when it comes to protecting Trump and Pence, I'm sure they can spare a few extra test kits.

NO DOUBT about that . .

Abbott Labs have come out with a machine that gives CV test results in 5 minutes. Per our governor's press conference today, Iowa has received 15 of the machines but only a limited number of test kits that can be used with them. Our machines are going to the hot spots to get a better idea of what's happening.

I'm sure there will be one in Des Moines, but otherwise yes to the hot spots.

My first thought.
Also I’ve thought it was too many people in that room anyway, possibly having covid and not know it! They should be protecting potus at all costs!
We could do without Fauci and Birx who are pro-Gates and have failed attempts with AIDS in the past.
Have you seen how they actually take the sample? They take an 8” swab and stick it about 6” into the vict, er, subject’s nasal cavity. So it actually is a kind of torture. Gonna have to be some dedicated reporters in the room, lemme tell ya.
My guess is that they will use the "new" test which is less intrusive, according to Trump and Pence.

Donald described the OLD test as "Stick it in and hang a right under your eye!"
He ALSO said the NEW 5 minute test is a LOT more comfortable.

I'm sure they'll be using the rapid (5-15 minute) blood test, not the swab-and-wait-a-week technique.

It's like a flu test. It's not that bad. It's not wonderful, but it's unpleasant for a moment and then done. Ice had multiple flu tests as have my kids.

They need to do virtual press conferences, just like we're having to do with meetings.

We are turning the corner if they can get these people tested that quickly. How long until this is in the gen pop? That's where the rubber meets the road. The President will declare, "The U.S. of A. is open for business!"

For understanding, binge watch a season of "The West Wing". It's apparently pretty dang accurate as far as the setting and distractions presented to POTUS.
