    Trump could hock COIVD-infected spit into the face of his supporters and tell them that it was the Fake News and Dems and they'd start protesting them all the way up until they died.

    I don't think Melania's got it at all. They made that bit up to avoid the obvious pisstake.

    She's been shacked up with the tennis coach all this time.

    As always, nothing adds up. Less than 24 hours after he is reported as positive, he has been moved to hospital and had two experimental treatments?

    A more than usual secretive and tight-lipped WH.
    It's the way it is within this current government - lies, exaggerations, back-stabbing, fabrications, a broad fanciful manner, etc.
    Perfectively reflective of the boss' character.

    CNN reporting he has some trouble breathing and is tired and fatigued. A really short tme line to symptoms.

    I think Barr should go and check on him as soon as possible.

    This is a good read telling who in the White House was exposed and when and what few precautions were taken to avoid exposure.

    This suggests that he is more ill than what the WH reports say.

    It does seem that way. It is 7:30 am on the east coast of the US so it will be interesting how this is updated today.

    I am not LatinKaren wishing death and illness to all and sundry - but I do feel very satisfied that karma has come and bitten him on the ass.

    I am majorly pissed that he has access to treatments and therapies that are NOT available to the average joe blow.

    The fact that the superspreader event may have been the gleeful nomination of Amy Coney Barrett does, indeed, give me a deal of satisfaction.

    God IS watching, and he is not happy.

    Winnowing of the republicans has begun.

    Actually, it's a Goddess - and she's not pleased whatsoever.

    Trump had his chance to be a leader but he only cares about himself. "Those masks.... I'm not going to wear one." Karma can be a bitch.

    And a short excerpt from Heather Cox Richardson's daily brief....

    "The Trump entourage has refused to wear masks, social distance, or follow the advice of public health experts for reducing the spread of the virus. Now it appears that White House officials deliberately withheld information about their condition, directly endangering other people who acted on the presumption that the Trump people weren’t infected. The Washington Post reported that Secret Service agents, who risk their lives to protect the president, are angry and frustrated: “He’s never cared about us.” The 30-50 Republican donors who met with Trump Thursday night at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, are “freaking out,” one report noted. Tickets had cost up to $250,000, and Trump met privately with about 19 people for 45 minutes. Trump knew his adviser Hope Hicks had tested positive when he left for the club, but he went anyway. He did not wear a mask."

    I really don't care much about the politics or Trump for that matter but I am interested in the argument about masks and their effectiveness.
    In the beginning most said they made no difference but then the results showed that in countries < like Thailand, where people were wearing them the virus seemed to more controlled. So the opinion started changing to the point now where masks are portrayed as the most effective weapon in the fight against the virus.

    I am of the opinion that wearing a mask doesn't necessarily stop someone from catching the virus but rather the masks stop people who already have it and are wearing a mask from spreading it. We know or have been told that the virus is or can be spread through the air so if people wear a mask and don't breathe the virus into the atmosphere it can't spread as effectively.

    So in summary Trump not wearing a mask doesn't make him dumber than anyone else but all those people in the US and other countries that believe being told to wear a mask is a violation of their civil liberties and therefore didn't wear one are the dumb ones.

    Say what????
    So Trump is as dumb as all those other dumbasses who didn't wear a mask when they were told they should.
    ok. It appears we are in agreement.
    (And he reaped the rewards.)

    So putting on a mask would have been the right thing for the turnip to do ?
    I say no.
    Putting a plastic bag tightly over his head and leaving it there would have been the right thing to do.
    It still is.
