John Santucci / @santucci: .@ABC News has learned Chad Gilmartin a member of the White House press shop also is positive. Sources tell us test came back positive over the weekend.
Jim Acosta / @acosta: She was not wearing a mask during a gaggle with reporters yesterday. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben Tracy / @benstracy: I felt safer reporting in North Korea than I currently do reporting at The White House. This is just crazy.
Olivia Nuzzi / @olivianuzzi: Weak ass statement from the White House correspondents association. Kayleigh McEnany directly endangered the lives of those around her, including members of the press. I expect a stronger defense of journalists from the WHCA when their safety is at risk, @ZekeJMiller. https://twitter.com/...
John Berman / @johnberman: JUST NOW: @shearm, one of the WH reporters who has tested positive says he has received ZERO outreach, no contact tracing at all. ZERO. https://twitter.com/...
Jennifer Jacobs / @jenniferjjacobs: This is accurate. White House communications aides Chad Gilmartin and Karoline Leavitt both have coronavirus, I'm told. Other mid-level staffers have tested positive, too, in recent days. https://twitter.com/...
Sean Spicer / @seanspicer: It's one thing to report an additional staffer in the White House has tested positive but revealing their name seems like a violation of HIPPA https://twitter.com/...

Matt Viser / @mviser: Yesterday, and today. https://twitter.com/...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: Kayleigh McEnany anoints herself as an “essential worker.” @brianstelter responds: This “is an insult to the truck drivers, the delivery workers, the grocery store clerks who are essential workers. Somebody like McEnany can work from home” https://twitter.com/...
Weijia Jiang / @weijia: We have asked WH officials countless times why they don't wear masks, and they always tell us it's because they tested negative that day. But that doesn't mean you don't have COVID-19, and that doesn't mean you aren't contagious. Case/Point. https://twitter.com/...
Leia Idliby / Mediaite: John Oliver Tackles Trump's ‘Shocking and Utterly Inevitable’ Positive Diagnosis: ‘White House Has Handled This Situation Terribly’
Jim Acosta / @acosta: Upper and Lower Press areas of West Wing for press and communications staffers are almost entirely empty as those employees are working remotely from home as a precaution. These areas are typically very busy with members of press and WH staffers interacting daily. https://twitter.com/...

Lindsey Ellefson / The Wrap: Reporters Respond to White House COVID-19 Outbreak: ‘I Felt Safer’ in North Korea
Yamiche Alcindor / @yamiche: Masked WH reporters often ask WH aides why they refuse to wear masks. We're regularly told it's bc they are tested often & have been negative. Now @PressSec, who didn't quarantine after being exposed to Hope Hicks & who addressed reporters w/o mask yesterday, is positive. https://twitter.com/...
Kaitlan Collins / @kaitlancollins: After Hope Hicks tested positive, Kayleigh McEnany was pulled off President Trump's trip to New Jersey and later informed she'd had direct contact with Hicks. Yet McEnany did not quarantine and was at the White House Friday and yesterday, citing multiple negative tests.
Brian Stelter / CNN: New York Times reporter infected with Covid-19 says the White House is not doing contact tracing
Bess Levin / Vanity Fair: Kayleigh McEnany Can Confirm That the Virus She Claimed Wouldn't Come to the U.S. Is Now in Her Body
David Nakamura / @davidnakamura: Don't forget the WH press office routinely invited reporters from Trump-friendly outlets, incl OANN, Gateway Pundit and Epoch Times, into the briefing room in violation of an agreement with the WHCA to strictly limit crowding.
Whitney Tesi / Slate: Photos From Kayleigh McEnany's Press Briefings Since the President Tested Positive for COVID
Kathryn Watson / @kathrynw5: The ramifications are bad. Even though there isn't a high likelihood of contracting the virus outside at a bit of a distance, some reporters will have to quarantine. It upends the entire workflow of the White House press corps at a time when coverage has never been more critical.
David Badash / Raw Story: Reporters slam Kayleigh McEnany for ‘endangered lives’ by not quarantining and briefing without a mask
Jeremy Diamond / @jdiamond1: The White House press secretary has now tested positive for coronavirus. She briefed reporters at the White House yesterday without wearing a mask https://twitter.com/...

Brianna Wu / @briannawu: “We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here. And isn't it refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama.” - @PressSec https://twitter.com/...
Katie Benner / @ktbenner: The White House has given the world the most textbook example of how the coronavirus spreads — its contagious nature, its incubation time, its free movement among unmasked people gathered in close proximity; and how contact tracing can help us predict who will get it next.
Adam Parkhomenko / @adamparkhomenko: Between the lack of updates from trumps doctors and no Kayleigh today, I'm gonna have to pay someone off the street to lie to me.
Scott Linnen / @scottlinnen: Instead of “draining the swamp” they turned it into a Petri dish for the plague. https://twitter.com/...

Vague info from Trump's doctors on Saturday was quickly contradicted off the record by Mark Meadows, highlighting the routine chaos of covering this White House — The dispatches began routinely enough for an out-of-the-ordinary day, with Pool Report #2 from Cheryl Bolen, the Bloomberg White House reporter on pool duty Saturday.

Steve Inskeep / @nprinskeep: “Karl cited an earlier situation when a White House official, Matt Pottinger, briefed reporters... only to hear Trump later deny Pottinger's account and accuse the reporter of fabricating...Karl's new rule: ‘If someone lies to you off the record, it is no longer off the record.’”

Dara Lind / @dlind: The WH press corps has done a tremendous job in past 72 hours. They are the reason we know about the outbreak (shout-out @JenniferJJacobs); they've asked specific, medically informed, forceful questions of officials; and they've been honest that answers have been unsatisfactory.

Alex Emmons / @alexemmons: Following @davidfolkenflik at NPR — here's the “conflicts of interest” memo Michael Pack sent to VOA & others yesterday. VOA journalists I've spoken with are concerned it could lay the groundwork for more widespread “bias” investigations internally. https://theintercept.com/...

James Miller / @millermena: “The men appear to have violated laws intended to protect the federally funded news outlet from political interference.

Walter Shaub / @waltshaub: This is all part of Michael Pack's effort to Breitbartize VOA, Radio Free Europe and other federal news outlets, turning them into parts of a virulent pro-Trump, nationalist, white supremacist international propaganda machine controlled by the deviants at @USAGMgov. https://twitter.com/...

@sorayamcdonald: I don't care how spry they are this is crazy https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben Smith / @benyt: Outlets assigned top reporters to update Mr. Trump's obituary — Peter Baker at The New York Times, Marc Fisher at The Washington Post and Mark Z. Barabak at The Los Angeles Times, people at each paper told me.... https://www.nytimes.com/...
Kirk A. Bado / @kirk_bado: “But for the next few years, at least, our leaders' age and health will remain big news. We need a reporting culture that's ready to handle the public decline of this generation of leaders, as long as they insist on declining in public.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jake Tapper / @jaketapper: Good @benyt piece on covering politicians who are of advanced years, and @BresPolitico - “a rare reporter with the stomach to print some obvious truths: that some top lawmakers aren't all there.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Andrew Desiderio / @andrewdesiderio: In all seriousness, @benyt makes a thorough case for aggressively reporting on our leaders' health, despite the obvious sensitivity involved. It's in the urgent public interest — and @BresPolitico has mastered it. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Carlos Lozada / @carloslozadawp: Ben — you know this basically guarantees Trump's campaign speeches (and if he wins, his victory speech) will now say something to the effect of how the mainstream media was literally writing his obituary, but he showed he's plenty alive enough to win, etc, etc... https://twitter.com/...
Gregg Carlstrom / @glcarlstrom: “Physical decline is likely to be a major feature of the next few years of American politics... this concentration of power in the hands of the old is an American phenomenon. Our leaders are getting older as European leaders get younger.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jay Scott Smith / @jayscottsmith: This sounds weird and ghoulish but it's a common practice. I once worked at a TV station that had an entire room of pre-produced obit videos for public figures over 50. https://twitter.com/...
Matt Berman / @mr_berman: True in at least a few ways, from @benyt: “Physical decline is likely to be a major feature of the next few years of American politics, at least.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
David Beard / @dabeard: “Journalists must get past the taboos and be frank about the normal process of aging,” writes @benyt. He notes: “This kind of reporting is impolite. It's also totally obvious.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Gabriel Debenedetti / @gdebenedetti: “A friend recently told me sadly how nice it had been to see a national politician, Kamala Harris, jog down a few stairs.” https://twitter.com/...

Amanda Litman / @amandalitman: “The easiest solution to this media quandary [on how to cover aging politicians] is for citizens to elect leaders of working age.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Jacob Remes / @jacremes: Very 1970s Russia vibe (except those gerontocrats were actually younger). https://twitter.com/...
Patt Morrison / @pattmlatimes: Gentle reader — this is not ghoulish. Keeping pre-written obituaries at the ready for famous, especially old ones, guarantees that there will be a full biographical treatment whenever they do die. These obits are updated regularly, and especially with news like this. https://twitter.com/...
Ben DuBose / @bendubose: When I interned with MLB dot com, one of the strangest assignments we had was writing future obits for older Hall of Famers that weren't anywhere near passing at the time. It serves a good purpose, and there's ample reason for media outlets to be prepared. Just so odd to do it. https://twitter.com/...
NYT Haikus / @nythaikus: The chairman of the Appropriations Committee is 86. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Heather Caygle / @heatherscope: Bres has been called *a lot* of names in his reporting career but I bet “Capitol Hill's grim reaper” is a new one https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Annemarie Bridy / @annemariebridy: America in decline is a gerontocracy. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Tom Coates / @tomcoates: Just a reminder that obituaries are regularly updated to be ready to go with little editing at short notice. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Rafael / @danrafael1: It's normal business for news outlets to have obituaries of significant people at least partially written to be updated with details at the time of somebody's death. I wrote some #boxing obits that were banked years ago at USA Today and did the same at ESPN. https://twitter.com/...
Steve Rhodes / @tigerbeat: Last month, @BresPolitico & @Marianne_Levine reported fellow Democrats were worried whether Dianne Feinstein was up to leading her side of the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings.. by @benyt https://www.nytimes.com/...
Nicholas Blake / @ncblake: “the most powerful people in the country should learn from Mr. Trump's disastrous example that if you lie consistently about your health, nobody will believe you in a crisis.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Prashant Rao / @prashantrao: “For the next few years, at least, our leaders' age and health will remain big news. We need a reporting culture that's ready to handle the public decline of this generation of leaders, as long as they insist on declining in public.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jesse Wegman / @jessewegman: Such an important piece. Old people are a crucial part of any society — I hope I get to be one someday! — but they shouldn't be running the government. As long as they do, we need clear-eyed and unflinching coverage of their frailties. https://www.nytimes.com/...
