Trump took photos, had roundtable with donors at Bedminster fundraiser hours before announcing Covid diagnosis
CNN ^ | 4 October 2020 | Paul P. Murphy

(CNN)President Donald Trump's big-dollar fundraiser at his New Jersey golf club went on as planned Thursday night despite the President and staff knowing he had been exposed to coronavirus.

Trump attended three events at the fundraiser: an indoor roundtable, an indoor VIP reception -- donors had a socially distant photo opportunity with him -- and an outdoor reception, according to an event invitation obtained by CNN.

Donors that gave $250,000 were able to participate in a roundtable, photo opportunity and reception with the President, according to the event invite. The roundtable included 18 donors, according to a source, and was held indoors at socially-distanced tables. Another source says that the attendees at the roundtable were tested for coronavirus when they arrived and that no one wore masks.

No problem FRiend.

When someone calls me stupid I return the favor - guess I learned that from President Trump :-)

Yes, subtracting 94% (6%) is almost exactly the same as my 1/20th (5%) estimate. I guess we both did the same research.

FRegards,

The ChiComs are very capable of having agents sneaking into public meets and spreading 19. Since they created this don’t put it past them to pass it on. Especially against someone who wants to bring home work and products that left for China.

“”Depends on the version you get and whether you treat it right away.””

I think it depends on WHO is handing out the information and I don’t mean the World Health Organization.

You have to wear a mask - masks are not going to help.
You can get sick wearing a mask - you won’t get sick wearing a mask.
You’re going to get it - you’re not going to get it.
You’re going to the hospital - you’re not going to the hospital.
You’re going to be sick - you’re not going to be sick.
You have to practice safe distance - it doesn’t matter if you practice safe distance.
Wear a mask if you can’t practice safe distance - you don’t need a mask if you practice safe distance.
You’re going to die - you’re not going to die.

Not one stinkin’ thing have we been told can we believe. And who hears anything about hand sanitizers anymore?

covid.””

Thank you for your understanding. I catch myself becoming a curmudgeon more and more frequently these days.

The 6% figure actually came from the CDC itself. There is a huge distinction between dying with Covid and dying from Covid. If they tabulated “flu deaths” the same way they have “Covid deaths” The flu would be the number 1 killer every year ahead of heart disease and cancer which combined take approximately 1.3 million people per year in the United States. This year many people did not receive prompt and effective care for the real killers because of fear and the "lock down".

Earlier in the year my wife's brother who was on hospice care for a inoperable cancerous brain tumor died. At that time they did not have enough tests for Covid available to people other than health-care workers, politicians and celebrities. He was counted as a “presumptive covid death” by CDC guidelines. This was a first hand clue that the numbers told to the public were bogus. He probably did not even die with Covid. One of the reasons that the death numbers peaked in April is that as tests became available it eliminated many of the presumptive deaths. This was never as bad as it was claimed to be in this country.

The leftists want us all to live on top of one another concentrated in large cities and using elevators and mass transit. And when we are old they want us all in cramped long term care facilities. These are the conditions that actually spread this pathogen most effectively.

That flu figure is startling- is there a study on those numbers?

The hospital where I work had “covid-related” deaths too. I don’t know the ratio but I’d like to.

Agree, completely with your assessment of the numbers, and, what the lefties want to do with all of us, eventually.

Condolences on your BILs passing :-(

Maybe not so much an assassination attempt as much as an attempt to sideline him from campaigning and making him look bad on covid. It’s pretty much all they have left at this point.

Right. I think it will backfire on them though - the more insecure people feel the better President Trump looks - because Biden doesn’t strike anyone as “a protector“.

Okay.... now I’m confused. Are you talking about a fungus or a virus with respect to spores.

You may have misunderstood what I said. I said if flu deaths were tabulated the same as Covid deaths have been... Currently anyone who tests positive for Covid is counted as a Covid death if they actually die from other causes. This has included people who have been shot, run over by cars, or in my brother-in-law’s case had an inoperable, cancerous brain tumor... and he wasn’t actually tested, his death was classified as “presumptive Covid” because when he died earlier in the year there were not enough tests to go around.

We currently have Covid tests that are “oversampled” until they detect such tiny traces of Covid DNA that they give positive results even from people who have not and never will become ill from Covid. But if these people die for any reason they are called a “Covid death”. Since people test positive several times more frequently for the flu than they do for Covid even with the ridiculously sensitive tests... the deaths from the flu if they were tabulated the same as Covid would be several times as high as they are now.

Technically, you are correct, a virus does not produce spores as such, but can only reproduce when they have invaded a more complex cell. But the virus particles are spread very much in the same manner as spores, except they are much, much smaller. Like spores, the virus particles have the POTENTIAL to reproduce, once they get into a suitable environment. But they are biologically inert outside that environment.

Most of them simply die if they have no access to a living cell.

donors had a socially distant photo opportunity with him

A key detail.
