Cleveland Officials Traced COVID Cases Back to the Debate... Before Trump Was On-site

Officials for the City of Cleveland said 11 cases of the Wuhan coronavirus could be traced back to the Sept. 29 presidential debate. The cases were a result of debate pre-planning and set-up, with the majority of cases impacting out-of-state travelers, particularly debate organizers and members of the media.

The news comes after President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for the virus. Out of an abundance of caution, the president was transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday.

"As the cases involve people in and out of state some of whom may be continuing to travel, the City of Cleveland is working with the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the Cleveland Clinic," the city said in a statement. "As part of CDPH’s process regarding COVID-19, any individuals who tested positive as part of the debate were contacted, interviewed when possible, issued isolation orders and provided guidance regarding their isolation period. There were also conversations with individuals who tested positive regarding their upcoming travel."

Part of the contact tracing that's being deployed will focus on identifying Cleveland residents who may have been at the debate. They will be asked a number of questions, like who they live with, where they work, what type of work they do, if they're caring for anyone and if they've been at any other mass gatherings.

"In the event the person’s case stems from the debate, the individual will be asked: who they are employed by, who they were in contact with at the debate, how they got to the debate, how long they were there, if they did any traveling recently or attended any other mass gathering," the city explained.

Things are really going to get interesting in coming weeks as we enter cold and flu season.

Normal seasonal sniffling, sneezing and hacking will cause a spike in testing, which will cause a false spike in cases.

Will there be another wave of panic? Count on it.

People are so easy to panic in this generation of girly men.

This was my biggest fear regarding the election, that COVID would get ramped back up in October.

Democrats are testing positive too - they are just hiding the fact.

Democrats want to push the false narrative that Republicans brought this on themselves, so they are not talking about their own cases.

I guarantee we will see lots of “unexplained absences“ among the Democrat ranks as they test positive and quietly go into hiding.

Then, the day after the election, there will be a rash of Democrats admitting they tested positive.

What is causing this is not assassination conspiracies or “super-spreader events“ - it is simply the fact that we are entering cold and flu season.

Millions of people are beginning to get seasonal cold and flu symptoms and worrying they have covid - so we are seeing a spike in testing. A spike in testing will cause a spike in cases, since asymptomatic covid is far more widespread than people think. Lots of people are going to “suddenly” test positive.

It will appear like a spike in cases, but really it will just be a spike in finding out about it through increased testing - due to seasonal flu symptoms.

No doubt, this will be an opportunity for the Democrats and the fake news to stir up another wave of panic.

I just hope people are smarter than to be fooled again for the third, fourth or fifth time!

Never. He let states decide what regulations to impose, depending on their circumstances and the judgment of the governor. Good federalist principles, but exploited by scoundrels for nefarious purposes.

Stonewall Jackson wouldn’t trust them to shine his shoes, and yet they’re for tearing down his statue. They’re trying to suppress pro-Trump rallies, and yet they’re calling the attendants Nazis. Low lifes won’t share a drink of bathtub gin with them. Of course they’re not above such shenanigans. It’s just a matter of finding out if, in this instance, they did it.

“This was my biggest fear regarding the election, that COVID would get ramped back up in October.”

I’m sure it will get ramped up, but this will not help the Democrats - for two reasons:

1) Democrats are more afraid of covid than Republicans. Ironically, Democrat voters are the ones who tend to believe the false narratives and fear-mongering being pushed by the fake news networks that they watch.

The fear of covid will keep Democrat voters away from the polls, and will suppress their GOTV efforts in empty shopping malls, empty union halls and empty college campuses where Democrats normally rally. Most Republicans will campaign and vote pretty much as normal.

2) The more insecure voters feel about the future, the more they will favor a strong leader like President Trump. Joe Biden just does not come off as a strong leader who will protect us from coronavirus or anything else.

There is NO IF they did this YES they did this not a doubt in my mind!! I thought about possible contaminated swabs for the testing but that would have made the tests positive!, I believe they planted a LIB worker at the reception with a spray bottle disguised as a sanitizer which would not be unusual to have there a light spray to an appetizer tray OR a light spray to bar glasses!! Tillis had a mask on until the reception I thought possibly the chairs outside because they are labeled with the names, if Tillis touched his face removing the mask for the reception after touching the chair he was in it is possible that is how he contracted it!! THEY DID THIS not a doubt in my mind this nomination is their hill to die on to them the ends justify the means Amy was the goal but Amy was immune which they did not know!! The EVIL in these people runs DEEP!! I have to say I am STUNNED at the absolute vitriol, hate and rage in them, but don’t think for ONE MINUTE they did NOT do this because YES THEY DID IT!!

Evidence. Find the evidence. I believe G-d once split the sea, but that’s belief, not evidence.

The Faucis and Birxes of his administration have been doing so for months, and many states have made it mandatory, with big fines, as a result of Trump’s CDC’s recommendations.

Trump can just say if anyone feels sick, get tested.
