President Donald Trump, who played down the threat of the coronavirus pandemic for months, said October 2 that he and his wife Melania had tested positive for COVID-19 and were going into quarantine, upending the race for the White House.

Gloabl News/AP: Here’s what Trump did leading up to positive coronavirus test
With just a month to go until the election, U.S. President Donald Trump had a busy schedule during the week the coronavirus hit home with him. Trump tweeted early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Monday
* Trump surveys a truck produced by Lordstown Motors on the White House South Lawn at an event attended by two members of Congress and three representatives from the Lordstown, Ohio, manufacturer.
* Trump holds a Rose Garden event to announce an administration effort to distribute millions of coronavirus test kits to states. The event is attended by administration officials including Vice President Mike Pence, members of Congress and state officials.
Tuesday
* Trump travels to Cleveland for a 90-minute presidential debate against Democratic rival Joe Biden. The two men are both tested ahead of the debate and stand behind lecterns positioned a good distance from one another. They do not wear masks during the faceoff.
* White House aide Hope Hicks is part of a large entourage that travels to Ohio with Trump aboard Air Force One for the debate, including members of the Trump family. Trump’s adult children and senior staff do not wear masks during the debate, violating host rules.
Wednesday
* Trump travels to Minnesota for a fundraiser at a private home in suburban Minneapolis and an outdoor rally in Duluth.
* Hicks is among the White House aides who accompany Trump on the trip. She feels unwell on the return trip and isolates herself aboard Air Force One.
Thursday

* Trump flies to his Bedminster resort in New Jersey for a private fundraiser. Several aides who were in proximity to Hicks scrap plans to accompany Trump.
Trump announces in an evening interview on Fox News that he and the first lady are being tested for the coronavirus. He later tweets that they will “begin our quarantine process!”

WNU Editor: The focus on who infected him is on Presidential aide Hope Hicks. But it could be anyone. Including the Secret Service who apparently are having their own Covid-19 outbreak .... Trump’s Secret Service Has Struggled With Outbreak at Training Center (New York Times). And then there is the big question that no one is asking. Was he infected deliberately?

In spring scientists said that most of us would get infected with or without masks & lockdowns.
They said with mask and lockdowns the infection rate would be slowed down, but the we would still be infected.
If we are all or most of us will be infected, then the only reason to have a lockdown or masks is to even out the load. That is it. Everything else is bullshit and lie.
Greedy Joe Biden cannot make you safe. All he can do is raid the piggy bank and make you poor in the long run. That is if Joe is having a good day and is pumped up on drugs and that will be exceedingly ephemeral like David's last day
Editor,
You called this early on when you predicted he would most likely eventually get this. A part of me thinks all of us will eventually get this. I think many of us already had it in January and February but our government had not yet told us we need to panic yet.
If we are all are going to get this, lockdowns may delay it but won't stop it. Additionally lockdowns have the adverse effect of destroying the economy which wrecks the tax base meaning no money for research or anything else. We can't fix the COVID-19 situation without fixing our economy. In thr debate, Biden had it completely backwards.
I predicted he will get it and it's also true we all will get it eventually
This is not a traditional virus either, my prediction is it's a human modified virus to do -something-.. what that is we don't know.. my guess is that it's a first step, to get a virus to such a high transmission level must have taken years in the lab. It's a very skilful art to achieve and required many test subjects. And likely human subjects given how easily it spread among us. This is not a typical transmission rate you'd see if it jumped from animal to human. This looks engineered. The gain-of- function inserts are engineered. The Wuhan lab had security issues before. The Chinese didn't let anyone in. The Chinese didn't tell us for weeks despite they knew. Despite letting all these flights out. Despite buying up PPE.
Donald Trump IS in the comorbidity risk grip, as he is very obese and of age.
If he dies, or if there are any serious health issues to him,....
I predicted you would claim that you predicted this. You are, after all, very obese and of age.
B. Poster.
Yup. People who I know and who work on diseases told me at the beginning that there is an excellent chance that we will all get it. The question is when. For the President and his wife it is now. For all of us .... we have to be careful and hope that we are fortunate to not get this disease before a vaccine is administered.
Parrot here:
We are now told that symptoms are mild. That might mean how exposed and for how long he might have been around H.H.
at the debate, his family and pals did not wear masks. The Binden folks all did. Perhaps we will all learn a lesson from this.
10:32,
I appreciate your faux concern. It is so touching. I didn't know you cared.
This is not different than January 2020 and impeachment. Back then, we said if they get Trump, we got Pence.
At 6' 3" tall and 244 lbs. Trump is just barely in the obese category.

However, Trump being able to stand and talk for 3 hours at a rally shows that he is very healthy. Try standing that long. You probably cannot do that.
If Trump loses a mere 4 pounds Trump would be merely overweight.
Rather than looking at an ancient WW2 era quick take on health, why not look at the blood work up? It will tell you more. Pasty Joe would look worse than his normal cadaverous self.
Fact Fact: Many of not most elderly tend to lose weigh after age 70. It is gradual. Old Joe is probably losing weight in the last few years. It is not a sign of robust health, but a terminal glide path. Well a gentle glide path before the systems instability and well you know what happens after that.
Parrot,
You will not learn any lesson other than the one the New York Times and Washington Post tells you to learn.
"It is likely that eventually it will become endemic, and most of us will get infected."

But you won't listen. You never listen except to your usual fanes.
Trump this morning said he could not comment opn his health. It is under audit.
You will find this difficult to believe, but yes, I do not like to see anyone die, no matter how much I dislike the person for what he stands for if those beliefs are not shared by me. I do make an exception for a few people from history. But no. I do not wish the president or his wife illness.
I understand you concern 1152.
Tied down in protected wars, military weakness, prodigious spending leading to huge yearly deficits, a growing debt, and loss of reserve currency status, perennial trade imbalances.
Those things are always good to see in your opponents.
Say hi for me to Nancy Pelosi and Xi.
moronic comment above
you folks never learn to outgrow nastiness
So 12:11 (aka Parrot) believes that national debt leading to loss of reserve currency status is a good thing.
Pray tell, o wise one.
I lived in South America awhile back. The government was very focused on trade deficit, budget deficits, and currency status. You could not import luxury cars for instance. They did not want a trade imbalance. You could only take so much currency out of the country (China has this rule too). The government understood that if you had huge trade deficits, the currency collapses and you get astronomical inflation. At which point people start starving and you get riots and worse.
Maybe you out to get a real education, parrot. Try it. You might like it.
Why guess that 12:11 is The Parrot?
Because "moronic comment" is one of his signature put downs.
He calls people morons and then complains about nastiness, which totally makes sense in a Democrat world.
But he never challenged the facts or otherwise debated.
