'The City of Cleveland is aware of positive cases of COVID-19 following the Sept. 29 presidential debate,' the city said in a statement. 

'In total, at this time, we are aware of 11 cases stemming from pre-debate planning and set-up, with the majority of cases occurring among out of state residents.'

I’ll bet they already are. They started with protecting President Linc—uh...never mind.

[a fool in paradise]

>>Was it a set-up? Should the Secret Service investigate?

Wouldn't be the first time a leftist did this during a presidential campaign:

Dan Savage Goes Undercover to the Iowa Caucuses and Gives Gary Bauer the Flu Bug
by Dan Savage

...I’m the only new volunteer to walk through the door in quite some time, apparently, so campaign staffers don’t quite know what to do with me. Only after 10 or 15 minutes of asking around does Andy, a young Bauer staffer, direct me to the phones.

...Pretending you feel fine when you’ve got the flu is exhausting — and I have the flu in a big way. On my flight to Minneapolis, I felt this itch in the back of my throat. By the time I got to my hotel in Des Moines, all I could do was get undressed, crawl under the covers, and stay in bed for two days. On day three, still sick as a dog, I decide to get up and do my job. I’m relieved when the Bauer folks stick me in an out-of-the-way cubicle, where unobserved I can allow myself to look as miserable as I feel...

I catch Gary Bauer on MSNBC. “Our society will be destroyed if we say it’s okay for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman,” he says. Seeing Bauer go off about gay marriage reminds me of something he said back in December, when the Vermont Supreme Court came out for same-sex marriage: “I think what the Vermont Supreme Court did last week was in some ways worse than terrorism.”

In my Sudafed-induced delirium, I decide that if it’s terrorism Bauer wants, it’s terrorism Bauer is going to get. Naked, feverish, and higher than a kite on codeine aspirin, I call the Bauer campaign and volunteer. My plan? Get close enough to Bauer to give him the flu, which, if I am successful, will lay him flat just before the New Hampshire primary. I’ll go to Bauer’s campaign office and cough on everything. Phones and pens. Staplers and staffers. I even hatch a plan to infect the candidate himself; I’ll keep a pen in my mouth until Bauer drops by his offices to rally the troops. And when he does, I’ll approach him and ask for his autograph, handing him the pen from my flu-virus-incubating mouth.

While I make calls, I overhear Bauer’s press secretary calling reporters and letting them know that Gary will be having a press conference at a cemetery at 3:30 p.m., at the grave of a fetus found in a ditch. Gary will give his usual complaint about the coarsening of our culture — standing on a child’s grave for emphasis. While I dial, my eyes drift over the pieces of paper pinned to the wall of my cubicle. A photocopied “thought for the day” catches my attention. “Remember, when someone annoys you,” the thought reads, “it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown. But it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and SMACK THE &&&HOLE UPSIDE THE HEAD.” Hmmm. A little coarse, I think to myself, chewing my pen.

...I’ve got work to do.

I go around the room licking doorknobs. They are filthy, no doubt, but there isn’t time to find a rag to spit on. If for some reason I don’t manage to get a pen from my mouth to Gary’s hands at the conference, I want to seed his office with germs, get as many of his people sick as I can, and hopefully one of them will infect the candidate. I lick office doorknobs, bathroom doorknobs. When that’s done, I start on the staplers, phones, and computer keyboards. Then I stand in the kitchen and lick the rims of all the clean coffee cups drying in the rack. I grab my coat and head out...

...It’s freezing cold and windy. Waiting for Gary, I take my pen out of my pocket and put it in my mouth. This is it, my one shot at the candidate. I chew the pen, cracking the plastic shaft. Gary arrives, toddles up to the podium, and makes some brief remarks about Red China. As he steps away, I step toward him.

“This is my son,” I say, handing him a photograph. “Can I have your autograph?” Bauer gives me an odd look; I need to give him a little more. “I talked his mother out of aborting him. You’re my hero, Mr. Bauer.”

He looks at me with his little bug eyes, and breaks into a wide smile. “Good for you,” Gary says. “That’s wonderful.”

He takes the picture, and I pull the pen out of my mouth and hand it to him. Score! My bodily fluids — flu bugs and all — are all over his hand! When he tries to sign, no ink comes out. Gary looks up at the cameras and says, “Looks like everything is frozen.” He grabs a poster and scribbles on it to get the ink flowing, then signs the picture. He hands me my pen, and starts to walk toward his van. He stops to answer a reporter’s question, and I see him run a finger under his nose. Perfect.

I didn’t need to lick all those doorknobs after all.

The firestorm over “Stalking Gary Bauer”
Salon readers lash Dan Savage — or laugh with him.
SALON STAFF
JANUARY 29, 2000 10:00PM (UTC)

Last week Salon sent writer Dan Savage to Iowa to cover the presidential primary caucuses. While there, he came down with the flu. The story he filed — a feverish, compelling and disturbing account of how candidate Gary Bauer’s crusade against gays drove him to try to infect Bauer with his flu — was not what we had in mind.

Nevertheless, after reviewing the story carefully we decided to run it...

[a fool in paradise]

Fauci rubbed his nose at a press conference once and then wiped it on Trump’s arm. no joke. I saw the video. good like finding it with suppressed search terms today.

It is sNOT this one

THE BLAME LIES SQUARELY ON CLEVELAND CLINIC. The first debate held at a top US medical facility, and everyone catches COVID. HMMMMM...

Note a few other things.

• Why did Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve choose their "Health Campus" Atrium with too many surfaces to sanitize from students who are currently the hot COVID vector??
• Did you know this very area was used as a HOSPITAL during the COVID surge in MARCH?
• Why was the "Health Campus" Atrium set up for actual debate guests?? There should have been 3 people there plus broadcast ops PERIOD.
• Even worse, why was there even a MEDIA ROOM set up in another area (and those pics have been scrubbed from debate.org's social media accounts)
• Why were the 2 camps also given WAR ROOMS?
• Trump's people let his guard down. HUUUGE MISTAKE. Heads must roll NOW.

"This method of election interference is no doubt fairly easy to accomplish with little chance of the "seeders" being detected while they are doing it."

Unless the pathologist who is right now gene-investigating Trump's strain of the virus gets a match and the match is a likely suspect. It's not too far-fetched to think someone in the #MSM or more likely #journolist colony would pull a Dan Savage, and then have to seek treatment for their own COVID infection, probably in DC.

[StAnDeliver]

One more thing — does anyone not think that if this was 2012, that sinister sob Bobo would have immediately ordered Eric Holder to treat the Cleveland Clinic as a crime scene, and gotten his mau-mau krewe on the #MSM to suggest Romney’s staff did it? You KNOW he would.

[cnsmom]

Assigned Seating charts and activity schedule knowledge. Sounds fishy.

[lgjhn23]

“...YES!! So far ONLY REPUBLICANS have “caught” this virus??? WEIRD!...”

It’s not “weird” IF they colluded with the CCP on a planned virus release date and have been on HCQ since before that date.
IF it can be proven to be true, they should publicly hang...all of em. The DNC and the CCP are joined at the hip on this one.

Journos Are Worse Than A Disease

[DrewsMum]

Any word on who they are?

[StAnDeliver]

More things:

• Why did Notre Dame turn down the First Debate host opportunity?
• Why did Cleveland Clinic immediately accept?
• Why did Debates.org Board (bunch of old OLD NewDealers/NeverTrumpers) allow Cleveland Clinic to sell them on an Atrium that had been used a RESERVE COVID HOSPITAL IN APRIL?
• Why was there food and drink provided at the Media Rooms / War Rooms?

“Biden and wife to quick to announce they tested negative for the virus”

And we know they always tell the truth.

[TribalPrincess2U]

OK, now we’re blaming restaurants. Time to shut them down? SHEESH!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Who in the press pool have it?

[HollyB]

7 from the SCOTUS announcement have it too.

[dp0622]

Anybody wearing a mask alone in a car she be pulled over, dragged out and taken straight to the psych ward.

[TigersEye]

LOL

And slapped for good measure!

[FamiliarFace]

I wish they would be identified, but I haven’t seen anything yet.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Thanks

[eartick]

Too weird for my part
