Everyone here, except Bambu and possibly Bo, has contributed more money directly to trump’s healthcare than he has himself. Red might also be an exception, depending on how badly he is also cheating on his taxes.

Intubate Bill Barr prophylacticly. He’s a national treasure we cannot afford to lose.

“President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,”

http://www.vox.com/2020/10/2/21499423/trump-coronavirus-walter-reed-hospital

Working, in this context, means ingesting cheeseburgers while spewing nonsense and racist vitriol, dodging government investigators and his deadly Russian creditors.

"Everyone who CAME NEAR TRUMP needs to quarantine"

FALSE, per CDC

Incorrect,  sir.   The CDC says if you have close contact with anyone who has CV19, you should quarantine for 14 days.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html

Yes. Kid has yet to learn what R. W. Reagan said, "Facts are stubborn things."

Its wthin six feet for 15 or more minutes

Or if you are coughed/sneezed on.

Or if they are singing or shouting, whereupon the 6 ft. suggestion is a mockery of what is needed.

I am pretty sure anybody in an enclosed space with Donald Trump talking is going to be at risk.

I wonder what the MSRP for Regeneron's yet to be approved experimental cocktail is, and whether Trump's insurer covers it.

Joe Biden says he's had 2 Covid-19 tests since this morning

Well, there are different kinds of tests. So that might explain the situation.

One thing that I haven't heard anyone consider. Was Trump purposefully given the virus by a spy or agent for a foreign government at one of his fundraisers/events/rallies, etc?

They've been sloppy and projecting indifference towards practicing the safety protocols in that White House and on the campaign trail. How hard would it be to get someone who is infected to attempt to transfer the virus to him or to the people with whom he works closely each day?

Another thing to consider. Given the casual relationship this White House has had with the truth regarding every issue that it has faced, why should we believe what is coming out of the WH on Trump's condition? How do you know that the information you will be getting from them is based on facts vs alternative facts?

That credibility gap, which they themselves have sown, now puts the nation at risk. They haven't leveled with their own party, their own Senators, their own Congressional members. Why would you think they will be leveling with any of us?

There are real implications of national security to be considered at this time, and it is a tremendous hurdle for those who have taken their jobs seriously to make judgements that are in the nation's best interest, when what is coming from the WH is either wholly untrustworthy or at least possibly factually compromised.

Joe Biden gets it right, again:

"This is not a matter of politics. It's a bracing reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously. It's not going away automatically."


"Be patriotic. It's not about being a tough guy. It's about doing your part."

Smart usually beats Smartass.

I wonder if any of the Trump haters on this board have considered what’s going to happen if Trump
is back on the campaign trail in a few days and immune while Joe is not.

Just a thought

He'll remind America in the flesh how he mismanaged this crisis and led to the needless suffering of millions of Americans.

But Trump will probably be in the hospital for a few days at a minimum becasue the fucking virus is not and was not a fucking hoax, but is very real.

You fucking vulture.

Just a thought.

Joe will keep the fuck away from him because he’ll still be a plague rat. Joe will act sensibly, win in a landslide, and trump will be deposed, convicted, dispossessed, and will die in prison. You will still be an asshole.

You have similar problems to this guy, red, except somehow he managed to steal some lifts while you have not so there’s no point in trying to disguise the hair loss on your end.

Kellyanne Conway

come on down.

But first quarantine

George can't be too happy

https://twitter.com/KellyannePolls/status/1312214949658152960

Tonight I tested positive for COVID-19. My symptoms are mild (light cough) and I’m feeling fine. I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians.
