The image is a still from a video taken by Hunter Demster who was told he would have to move 25 feet away or face misdemeanor charges due to a TN law that went into effect in July.
The Tennessee law is similar to those passed in Indiana and Louisiana, which two federal courts have ruled unconstitutional due to the laws’ vague nature in allowing police broad discretion to create buffer zones.

I know your story is a lark, because of “He wanted to stay home, but he dragged himself to the office when nobody was around”

There would be lots of times when a campaign office would be closed - late at night, holidays, when the staff is at a campaign event, etc. It’s not difficult to believe that he would know of a length of time when he could be alone in the office to spread germs, as long as he had a key.
It is just that being stealthy isn’t required in the first place. He could just go to work, and the infection will spread. Remember, MAGA doesn’t wear face diapers. Or believe in germ theory. Probably doesn’t endorse handwashing, neither.
