BREAKING—White House official who fell ill with #COVID19 in September is recovering after 3 months in the hospital—and lost his right foot & lower leg in his battle against the virus, sources say. Crede Bailey is the director of the WH security office. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

2) “Bailey’s friends have raised more than $30,000 for his rehabilitation through a GoFundMe account. “Crede beat COVID-19 but it came at a significant cost: his big toe on his left foot as well as his right foot and lower leg had to be amputated,” Dawn McCrobie, who organized

3) “Bailey is now at a rehabilitation center and will be fitted for a prosthetic leg in the coming months, she wrote.

“His family has staggering medical bills from a hospital stay of 2+ months and still counting in the ICU and a long road ahead in rehab before he can go home”

4) I feel for the man. Bailey is not a political appointee of Trump. He’s just a career staffer who is the head of security. He doesn’t deserve this. Nobody does. But especially not him.

5) Sadder is that a WH head of security even has such enormous medical bills. What kind of country is this sometimes I wonder.

Here is Bailey’s Gofundme. gofundme.com/f/crede-amp-fa…

6) “Bailey’s office handles credentialing for access to the White House complex and works closely with the U.S. Secret Service on security measures. Bailey was known as a strong Trump supporter.”

I wonder—did he get special VIP @Regeneron? Or was that only for palace elites?

7) Bloomberg has a broken link somehow. This Yahoo News story describes same story. news.yahoo.com/head-white-hou…
