BETHESDA, Md. President Donald Trump declared, I get it, in a message to the nation Sunday evening before briefly leaving the hospital to salute cheering supporters from his motorcade, a surprising move that raised new questions about the presidents understanding of the coronavirus that has killed more than 209,000 Americans.
Its been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about COVID, Trump said, standing in his hospital room in a video posted on social media. I learned it by really going to school. He added, I get it, and I understand it.
Before the video was posted, the infected president cruised by supporters in his bulletproof SUV, windows rolled up, driven by Secret Service agents in protective gear who were potentially exposed to the disease that has swept through the White House in recent days.
This is insanity, tweeted Dr. James P. Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where Trump has been hospitalized since Friday evening. Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential drive-by just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die, the doctor wrote. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater.

Gee the same commie media wasnt concerned when these same secret service members took trump to the hospital, on Friday, when he was the most ill..meanwhile, they were ALL wearing PPE in the motorcade today
New CDC rules are “people with mild to moderate COVID-19 cases can stop isolating after just 10 days and do not need to be tested before returning to workthey just need to be fever free for 24 hours.”
Worse - it turns out he's a CNN medical advisor!
Secret Service Agents are always in close proximity to the President.
I caught a brief clip of CNN where some young girl with a frog in her throat, flanked by Wolf Blitzer, complained that Trump was some sort of a super-spreader who didn’t care about protecting the people whose job it was to protect him.
Glad I was exposed to this tripe for only a few minutes.
I don’t think people realize that POTUS is not covered by HIPPA his health and treatments are a matter of public record sorry it’s just the way it is. There is a valid constitutional need for this. The 25th amendment process for one amongst other reasons.
So did CNN bother to ask a doctor that is actually treating the President? No ... they found a Dem hack physician and are running with it.
"Love your enemies ... and pray for them" is getting much harder to do with these haters.
Where does Phillips think the SS is 24/7?
Well, the AMA is basically a Dem lobbying group.

Not the President’s doc, Gloryhound looking for 5 mins of fame.

He added, The fact of the matter is that hes doing really well. ... He is responding, and as the team said, if everything continues to go well, were going to start discharge planning back to the White House.
They may die, the doctor wrote

Well, I get my medical education from Doc Martin.
They WILL die.
