"The grim reality of the country's recent surge of cases is shaping Biden’s plans for the first days of his administration and how he plans to run his White House. The team only plans to have a skeleton staff working on campus at first, with most continuing to work remotely from home. They also plan to have the building — which has seen numerous virus outbreaks among staffers and top officials this year— meticulously sanitized.
Because the coronavirus can linger on surfaces for multiple days, a team deployed by the General Services Administration will go over every part of the White House's East and West Wings touched by human hands in the hours after Trump departs and Biden moves in, a spokesperson from the agency confirmed to POLITICO. That includes plans to 'thoroughly clean and disinfect' all furniture, doorknobs, handrails and light switches, before Biden and his team move in. Additionally, a private contractor will provide 'disinfectant misting services' to clear the air of lingering droplets." (our emphasis)
It's a given that Trump's mattress and bed linens will be burned. Also, ditch the 12-flush toilet that he used.
Trump has hosted several maskless, close contact holiday parties recently, including a Christmas party that his Elite Strike Force Power Ranger Jenna Ellis attended, and later tested positive for the Trump Virus. Last night, he helped encourage the spread of his virus to attendees at a Hanukkah party, where he also spread the deranged view that he would still win the election in a landslide "if certain very important people" < cough Supreme Court > would just negate President-elect Joe Biden's votes.
Sadly, Trump's beyond disinfecting.
