Cram several thousand people into an unheated parking lot and completely unsanitary conditions, and what do you expect?? Even if we weren't in a pandemic, that's a great recipe to get everyone sick!
Yikes, Biden just can't seem to do anything right. First he refuses to follow his own executive orders of a mask mandate on federal property, now he's responsible for infecting countless troops in the name of safety against an overblown threat.

Thousands of National Guardsmen were allowed back into the Capitol Thursday night, hours after U.S. Capitol Police officials ordered them to vacate the facilities, sending them outdoors or to nearby parking garages after two weeks pulling security duty after the deadly riot on Jan. 6.

Capitol Police asked troops to move their rest area on Thursday, said Guard spokesperson Maj. Matt Murphy.
“As Congress is in session and increased foot traffic and business is being conducted, Capitol Police asked the troops to move their rest area,” Murphy said. “They were temporarily relocated to the Thurgood Marshall Judicial Center garage with heat and restroom facilities. We remain an agile and flexible force to provide for the safety and security of the Capitol and its surrounding areas.”
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, said Friday morning that a Capitol Police officer “issued an order without authority or without going through the chain of command,” adding: “We are going to be able to identify who that person was."
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who herself was a member of the National Guard for 22 years, said she and other lawmakers are in touch with Guard officials about ensuring a safe environment for troops stationed at the Capitol. And Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said he was outraged over the “ingratitude” displayed toward the soldiers.
“Obviously the Senate had not gotten as involved in this because we had hoped it was being worked out between Capitol Police and the Guard,” Murphy said. “Obviously there’s some rough edges, so there’s a lot of us working on this right now.”
What a lame thread. If Trumpers hadn't stormed the Capitol, there would have been no need to provide over the top security for the Inauguration - no need to call out the guard, no need to assemble crowds of them to deter the CRAZIES from trying again.
This COVID breakout is all on the idiot MAGA fanatics.
Gotta be really tough - after four long years of a clown show - to finally see an adult in charge, with honest to goodness REAL professionals who know HOW TO RUN A GOVERNMENT.
So, instead, manufacture stones to cast when in reality the plank is in their eye.
There's a reason they voted for Trump ..... and smarts and logic aren't among them.

Joe did not infect anyone. He was not in charge of anything until about noon on the 20th. The threat was from the orange tumor tart, and his own system took up arms against him to protect the president elect and the country and it's COTUS. Do you smell burnt toast?

You are right. The warehousing of 5000 troops with only two toilets in a freezing parking garage was an inevitable outcome.....
