Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb responds to testing positive for COVID-19, says he wouldn't enforce mask mandatePinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb offered additional details about his recent trip to Washington DC where he tested positive for COVID-19 prior to a planned meeting with President Donald Trump.
During a Saturday phone interview with The Arizona Republic, Lamb said the White House called him on June 13 and asked that he be present when Trump signed an executive order that would hold law enforcement to a higher standard when they used force.
Lamb said he flew into DC Monday evening and visited the White House Tuesday when he tested positive for COVID-19. He later visited an infirmary and was tested a second time, which also came back positive.
"I was surprised," Lamb said regarding the positive test result. "I mean, if I looked back, I would say that I was a little rundown from, you know, a long weekend. But I didn't have any symptoms."

And the sheriff is a spreader who refuses to wear a mask to help protect anyone else.

I forgot many sheriffs are elected. Don't know if that's the case everywhere but I think it's common

I know it wont happen. I wonder how many people the asshole will infect?

love idiots like him.
And, frankly,I have my suspicions as to whether he is actually infected; it could be a "see, we told you it was nothing" political ploy.

My sister lived in E Oregon where Bundy & Co took over the wildlife area and had the standoff with the FBI. There sherif there was siding with those guys hole up in the stand off.

Maybe he'll be like my friend David who has been experiencing symptoms for two months now. Never sick enough to be hospitalized, but unable to resume normal life.
I hope David does fully recover. I hope the sheriff has symptoms for years.
