Trump caught an easily spread, airborne virus. That happens in a pandemic
Washington Examiner ^ | October 2, 2020 | Eddie Scarry

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.

It was deemed an airborne virus sometime in January.

Also, it’s very hard to catch it outdoors...it takes about 15 minutes of face to face conversation in an enclosed space. So probably Trump and Melania caught it from Hope Hicks or somebody else at the WH with whom they spend a fair amount of time indoors.

I read that Ronna McDaniel has a family member in Michigan who also tested positive..makes me wonder if somehow she spread it on Saturday..they have to find the original source

Of course it would be a great alibi to explain an absence while overseeing military tribunals in GITMO,...just sayin..

It was proven back in January before it even left China. Back when there was “real” science coming out of the hospitals there.

But if it doesn’t have the American Flag waving over it, some people won’t think its real.

About twenty minutes before President Trump appeared on stage a man was at the president’s podium. There was no one at Biden’s podium before he appeared.

If the CDC says it’s not, it is, and they/WHO have teetered on this. It is far too hypercontagious to not be airborn to an extent.

Hypercontagious? What a lie. I don’t wear a mask, and I haven’t gotten it, and I have no close friends or family who have. I know NO ONE who has died from it. Face it: this is a VERY mild disease.

Hardly a lie. This shit spreads like wildfire where it is present and allowed to. Contracting it isn’t symonompus with dying from it but it isn’t mild in everyone.
