The professional coronavirus hysterics in the media are naturally having vapors about President Trump and the first lady having been infected, because this is what happens when you don't wear masks!
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Chris Christie, who was part of Trump's debate preparation team, was asked Friday on ABC's Good Morning America by a reprimanding anchor if he or anyone else who had been coaching the president wore masks.
Christie said no, so ah-ha! Told you so!
Well, no, Christie said the debate team was made up of, at most, six people, all of whom, according to the White House, underwent routine testing.
Trump didn't get the virus because he doesn't obsess over putting a mask on his face. He got it because this is what happens when you're in the middle of a pandemic with a highly contagious virus.
TV journalists are declaring with great satisfaction that this is a reminder that "we're still not past the virus" and that "no one is immune from the virus."
Yeah, nobody was saying we were or that anyone is. We, lead by Trump, were saying that our entire country can't freeze in time while we cope with it. We were saying that the overwhelming majority of small business owners, and even large business owners, won't survive more shutdowns and restrictions. We were saying that for a virus with a mortality rate of less than 1% -- it's closer to .05% for healthy people under the age of 55 -- individuals should be able to calculate their own risk and make the best decisions for themselves, while allowing them to continue life in the most normal way possible.

Almost no one wears a mask on the podium, the distance between them and the crowd is meant to magically take care of the rest.
We now have a leader of herd immunity.
Not many people can. “Social Distancing” is an absurd ‘way of life’ edict that has no basis on any scientific study.
I am sure he will still take the vaccine and encourage others to take it.
I think based on what Im seeing, is that last Saturday was the day that this all started. the President of Notre Dame has tested positive, he was at the White House last Saturday when Amy Coney Barrett was introduced..someone had the virus then and spread it around, so they have to find the original carrier..but it does make sense, he had NO contact with the White House other than that day..it takes about 5 days to show symptoms so there ya go, the timing makes sense
The supposition that Rona is an easily spread, airborne virus is just that: A supposition.
I'm in the fecal-oral camp myself.
It’s not a pandemic.
Good catch.
“pandemic”

Most would keep that kind of information private.
He’ll be fine.
Positive testing lags the actual infection because it takes time for the viral load to build to a discernable level. I believe the President was infected around Saturday by someone who tested negative before seeing the President, but developed symptoms the next day. Although the 14 day period of incubation is mentioned often, I believe it is more usually a 2 to 5 day period. The mystery of how he was infected will be interesting, but we will probably not know for a long time.
Apparently he wasn't worried about possibly infecting the President. And neither was scarf lady.
It was never deemed an airbourne virus.

TMI
A pandemic is just a word for as novel virus that spreads across most of the continents. “Pandemic” does not require it to be fatal.
People toss words around with meanings they make up in their own minds.
It is certainly a pandemic. Is it deadly? Sure, to a a very small percentage of the population.
There is a 99.5% probability that Trump will survive. My guess is there is a bigger chance he will die from stumbling down the stairs on his way to a rally.
Words have meanings. It is best to understand what they mean before using them—or before making a stupid statement.
