Masks

[GB Warrior]

Photo, yesterday of COVID-19 positive Hope Hicks boarding Marine one closely with Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, others. No masks anywhere.

She quarantined on her return back from the MN rally, which means she likely found out while there. It's unknown when she took the positive test.

[forgetful]

Hope Hicks, one of the closest aides to President Trump tested positive for COVID-19, and, is experiencing symptoms. She recently traveled with the President on Air Force One to both the debate and recent Minnesota rally. She was seen often not wearing a mask.

Interesting that Trump does not know his results yet. They typically take the 15 minute tests. Since he doesn't know his results, it would seem that they are needing to run the PCR test.

Not sure if that is because of an inclusive (or positive) in the 15 minute test, or if simply because of such close contact wanting to verify with the more accurate test.

Regardless, Trump won't know if he is COVID free for 2 more weeks. He should be quarantined for the next two weeks. Not quarantining would be grossly inappropriate and dangerous.

The incident around Hicks highlights why. She tested negative many times, until she didn't. She was symptomatic by the time she tested positive. Given that you are contagious for 48 hours before symptoms, that means for 2 days she was testing negative and possibly spreading the disease.

Which would have included debate night, which she was at, maskless.

Unfortunately, we all know that Trump will not quarantine for 2 days, much less 2 weeks.

And you are correct; the Hicks example shows why a negative test is not a panacea for walking around without a mask.

Tomorrow, Trump is scheduled for an indoor DC Hotel Donor event as well as a rally in Florida.

We'll see if he stays home or if he attends these events.

Nope. Tots and pears for these people at this point.

I just hope Evers doesn't allow trump to enter our state until he has quarantined.

Lmao at thinking Evers would make a powerful stance against Trump.

[GooooMarquette]

Wow — looks like Trump is going to quarantine.

My guess would be that he did get the quick test and possibly got a positive? But you or Goo could speak about this better than I. Since the quick tests can give false positives up to 50% of the time, they probably gave him the PCR test and will wait for results.

But this is the trump WH, so it's doubtful we will ever know the truth.

As long as he's taking his HCL everything'll be fine

I'm not expecting it - just hoping.

[Hards Alumni]

Well, he and Melania are positive.

One of the commentators (can't recall which one) commented that everything looked like "business as usual" in the bars and restaurants around Athens. Wonderful.

Meanwhile, the entire SMU student section was kicked out of their game v Memphis today by police, for failure to wear masks and social distance.

Well, at least the president and half his entourage contracting COVID-19 has changed attitudes about wearing masks and social distancing on college campuses.

weren't you one those carrying the gas cans in kenosha?  "fat donny's" people want to talk to you

[tower912]

Is that what you learned on Qanon?

I was carrying soup for my family

Why do you defend a person who attended a fundraiser knowing he was infected with a highly contagious, deadly disease? Why do you defend a selfish turd who had total disregard for his fellow humans -- his supporters, for chrissake -- because he wanted to fleece them for $250K apiece? Why?
