Trump quarantining after White House adviser Hope Hicks tests positive for COVID-19https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/5889312002?__twitter_impression=truePresident Donald Trump announced he and the first lady are beginning to quarantine after White House adviser Hope Hicks tested positive for the coronavirus.Hicks tested positive for the coronavirus after she traveled with Trump in the last few days, according to a person familiar with Hicks' situation.Trump said he and Melania Trump took coronavirus tests and were awaiting results.Jonathan Reiner, professor of medicine and surgery at the George Washington University, said in tweets that those who traveled with Trump this week should quarantine themselves.“Since the president has been potentially exposed to the coronavirus, he should quarantine at home for 14 days and be separated from the Vice President to reduce the possibility that they both contract the virus," he said.——————We will see if he stays in for two weeks, as recommended by the physician quoted in the article.
Well that answers that. Trump COVID positive. Something seems odd timeline wise, but that means that he was COVID positive during a fundraiser TODAY, that he attended despite knowing about exposure to Hicks.
Other aspects. Who else is positive at this point. Other family members?Flotus and Potus both could have been infectious at the debate. Was Biden exposed? Trump family members refused to wear masks, were any of them positive?Things could get crazy.
I am aware of all of the potential political implications. I won't dwell on them for a second. This is certainly nothing to celebrate. My only hope is that this finally breaks down the resistance of the anti-maskers. The deniers. That finally everybody takes it seriously and that everybody starts taking the necessary steps to slow infection. That the stupidity ends.
Have I got news for you 🙁
That only happens if he is gravely ill or dies.Otherwise it will be "See! Even a 74 year old gets it and survives. What's the big deal?"
Split this topic off from the COVID thread.
Since we have a COVID thread and a POTUS - COVID thread could we also get a POTUS thread? I think it would be interesting to hear others' opinions on our current President.
Let's do some reasoning here. POTUS takes HCQ as a precaution and does not get covid. POTUS stops taking HCQ as a precaution and gets covid. Were rocketsurgeon and POTUS right all along? HCQ is the covid killer?
