My thoughts exactly! They infected the first family to slow him down, the mask nazis will go after him, the scumedia will be relentless with his selfishness and his new fauci replacement and the opening up of the country. They dont want this economy to move, also they are hoping that he gets it and dies. Brutal observation but its the truth, evil pri##s we are dealing with. Now we hear the caravans are starting up in central america to attack the border. TRUMP NEEDS TO DESTROY THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL in the next 4

[Dr. Sivana]

he’ll be campaigning even more with no worries about catching it.

OR SPREADING TO OTHERS, mask or no mask.

That old Nietzsche line "What does not kill me makes me stronger" is usually not true, but it could be in this case.

On the flip side, Cuomo and the rest of the despicable Dems will probably say the President received treatment the rest of us can’t get. Never let a crisis go to waste.

[Brilliant]

Did the FBI or CIA infect him? Why would they NOT? It’s October.

In my opinion Masks can MAKE YOU SICK.

---

Yes, there are proven cases that masks have made people sick. The one case that I know of the person was made sick from the mask and contracted Legionnaires disease from wearing the mask. The person was treated as if they had COVID but never got better. It was fortunate they tested the person for Legionnaires disease. When they treated it for that, the person recovered fully.

As to the issue of Trump contracting the China plague, it was through Hope Hicks that he contracted this. She was wearing a mask the entire time she was around the President. This is not a denigration of Hope Hicks. She is a great person. Just goes to show that someone with the virus and wearing a mask is still contagious to others.

"Trump has refused to abide by basic public health guidelines."

That's not true. For most of his life, President Trump has been more careful than most people about avoiding diseases. In regards to writers making false claims about him, sociopaths of various political persuasions tend to deny information that scares them. Illogically, they see their common weakness as a strength. It's caused by (or causes) brain abnormalities.

[unclebankster]

I’m going to make a prediction.

The next big name to get the virus, will be Jill Biden. She always has a mask on and is so responsible.

I also want numbers on these masked persons who have contracted the virus. It should be part of the data collected.

People need to be able live their lives without “religious zeolots” accusing them of murder, for not wearing a mask.

Do you think if any of the Dems test positive, that they would report it honestly to the public?

We have around 250,000 excess deaths as of right now per CDC. I don’t know where you’re getting that we aren’t going to exceed 2019 totals, but unless we discover immortality pills in the next 2 weeks, we absolutely are exceeding 2019 totals by quite a lot.

Democrats fear President Trump’s sanity and clean living. He learned a way with words befitting someone who has long conducted fast moving business and participated in spontaneous conversations on television. Democrats are still dying to believe that there are bad reasons for that way with words. In their deformed minds, all presidents should act like puppet hypnotists while regurgitating scripts.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

Pure speculation it was through Hope Hicks. Neither you, nor I can say with any certainty that’s the transmission source. President Trump’s own doctors would only be able to put a percentage on the chances it was through her. President Trump meets a LOT of people and goes to a lot of places.

And yes, a person wearing a mask can still spread the virus. The mask is not a magic item making all others immune. It’s a tool that reduces the risk of spread. If you would have spread the virus to 10 people and you instead spread it to 3, that’s a pretty useful tool to have.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Has any congresscritter gone on record yet that they hope the President and First Lady get well soon? I know the media is praying for Trump’s death.

[Hepsabeth]

However the total national death count from all causes doesn’t appear to be on course to exceed 2019, so something fishy in the stats.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

Scroll down to the graph that says, "Weekly number of deaths (from all causes)" to compare deaths in 2020 to those in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

[Morpheus2009]

No.

[Morpheus2009]

I am pretty sure Cuomo has the treatments.

There have been far fewer people driving on the roads. Many more of the millions of drug addicts formerly working in trivial services have been confined to their homes for lack of money, and at times, lack of drugs and associated alcohol. They're not killing people out on the roads as much.

And while avoiding the coronavirus, many frail people (e.g., people with heart disease) have avoided other diseases (like the flu). Many risk takers (e.g., sociopaths) have a new sport: catching the coronavirus. Many of them are even distracted from eating raw or spoiled hamburger and pork or picking up fecal matter with their ever-dirty hands in public restrooms for later consumption. And many other common causes of death have been avoided (accidents away from roads).

[2aProtectsTheRest]

I don't disagree with any of that being true, but we have still been well above the threshold for excess deaths every single week since March in the US:

The idea that we are behind the 2019 death totals is a complete fantasy.

Thanks for the good copy-and-paste information! I'll further disseminate it. ;)

The President may be in quarantine but still has his pen and phone.

Thanks!
