    Conspiracies already floating that the dems "infected him" so it's clear projection of what his team tried to do (infect Biden).

    WH Physician’s Briefing Leaves Serious Questions About When Trump Tested Positive for COVID-19
    Dr. Sean Conley said the president is improving. Others in the White House suggest otherwise.

    One of the most serious questions from the briefing was the way in which Conley’s description of the president’s diagnosis and treatment didn’t match up with what previous official reports had indicated about the timeline of the his condition. Trump tweeted that he and First Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19 around 1 a.m. on Friday morning. But Conley said that, as of the briefing on Saturday, the president had been 72 hours into his diagnosis. Another doctor treating Trump who spoke at the briefing said that the president had been administered a Regeneron antibody cocktail, an experimental treatment, 48 hours before, even though a White House press release announced that it had been administered after the president’s positive test—which, according to Conley had occurred on Thursday evening.

    Nor would Conley answer when the president had his last negative coronavirus test, saying only that the president had been tested after news that Hope Hicks, the president’s senior aide, had tested positive for the virus on Thursday
    . He did not indicate the results of any tests potentially administered to the president in advance of Tuesday’s debate against Joe Biden or his Wednesday campaign rally in Minnesota—an appearance that was nearly half as long as his usual events.

    Chris Wallace: Trump arrived too late to be tested in Ohio before debate, relied on 'honor system'

    Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said President Trump did not arrive in Cleveland ahead of the first presidential debate in time to get tested in Ohio before the event took place.

    Wallace, who served as the moderator for the event, said the president "didn't arrive until Tuesday afternoon" in Cleveland to face off against Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The time of the debate was Tuesday at 9 p.m.

    "The difference was I arrived on Sunday, you arrived on Monday,” Wallace told fellow Fox News colleague Bill Hemmer.

    “[The Trump family] didn’t arrive until Tuesday afternoon. So for them to get tested, there wouldn’t have been enough time to have the test and have the debate at 9:00 that night. They didn’t show up until 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 in the afternoon. There was an honor system when it came to the people that came into the hall from the two campaigns.”

    The reality (at minimum) appears to be that Trump knew people in his close circle were having COVID symptoms including Hope Hicks before the debate (rather then only after) but were not tested yet. At minimum Trump should have informed debate and medical officials about this potential COVID outbreak -- and they could have made fact-based decisions at the debate regarding allowing an audience and other factors.

    Trump did not even inform officials in Ohio after the fact. They had to hear it on the news.


    DeWine says White House did not contact him about possible Covid-19 exposure to Ohioans after Trump diagnosis

    Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Sunday that he has not been contacted by the White House about potential Covid-19 exposure in his state after President Donald Trump tested positive for the virus days after his Cleveland debate.

    "Well, they have not reached out to me. I know that I talked to the CEO of the Cleveland Clinic the other day who gave me an update, who gave me a report so I don't know whether they have reached out to Cleveland Clinic or not. They have not talked to me about it, no," the Republican governor told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

    The President participated in the first presidential debate against Democrat Joe Biden in Cleveland last week. DeWine said that he didn't attend the debate, but conceded to Tapper that he wished the President wore a mask more often.

    "Do I wish -- look do I wish the President had worn a mask all the time? Of course. You know, of course," he said.

    Still, DeWine added: "You know, when people go vote, there is other things, you know, besides that."
    Trump, who has been reluctant to wear a mask and mocked Biden for wearing masks during Tuesday's debate, was moved to Walter Reed medical center on Friday and is being treated for the virus.

    Debate organizers urged attendees to wear masks and while the Trump family wore masks while entering the debate hall, they removed them as the night went on. A week before the debate, Trump held a campaign rally in Ohio where he downplayed the effects of the virus.

    DeWine and his wife announced Friday they tested negative for the virus. Asked Sunday if he was concerned or upset that the President put his citizens at risk for contracting the virus, DeWine told Tapper he is not resentful, but said he hopes people learn from it.

    "This should be kind of an alert to everybody that anybody can get the virus, even the President of the United States can get the virus," he said. "So we ought to use this and simply just, you know, learn from it and so people who maybe have not worn masks in the past, you know, I'm hoping that they will look at this and say, 'Look the President can get it, I can get it and it can happen to anybody.' I hope that is what happens and that is what comes out of this."

    It is unclear where the President first contracted the virus, but a senior administration official told Tapper Saturday that a cluster of coronavirus cases among Republican officials likely began at the Rose Garden event announcing the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

    Several people who have been around the President have recently tested positive for the virus, including first lady Melania Trump and Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who helped prepare the President for the debate and attended the nomination event, tested positive for the virus on Saturday and checked himself into the hospital as a precautionary measure.

    It should be clear to you by now that according to the liberal media ANTIFA and BLM members are immune from COVID.... so it's not a concern.

    (yes, this is sarcasm... just so nobody mistakes it as a statement)

  5. Trump the super speader. "IF TRUE" he was quite irresponsible in do so. Even I, Covid mimimulist, quarantined myself for 10 days after knowing I had been exposed. Too bad there isn't a good alternative to him. Thanks for nothing leftists.
     

  6. Never a good sign when Trump appears looking like he has been run over by a truck and slept on a park bench all night due to covid, but looks peppier and can string a sentence together better than Biden at his best.

    Yup, our enemies are doing the happy dances. The polls are predicting the Century of China coming right up a/k/a Biden.

    i don't think we'll know if anyone on Biden's side got it until this thing incubates to a detectable level. Just my guess
