    Here's the amazing part, after months of discussion, some people still don't understand that the reason for masks is so that Hope Hicks reduces
    the chances of spreading the disease, not that wearing a mask would absolutely prevent Trump from getting the disease.

    That makes sense. Imagine the panic going through the WH with all the exposure they've all had? And, what about the pilots? Who knows how far this exposure has spread. It seems that masks would have been very important since social distancing isn't really possible.

    Sure, unlike him, the 200,000+ who died were not fighters, they just gave up. Just like the POWs who got caught instead of fighting to stay free.

    I've been told more than once that it's irritating how I don't harbor ill will toward people that have hurt me in some way. I guess I just don't have the energy to waste on anger and hatred. I'm human so I have those feelings. I just try to live my best life without worrying about negative people. It's much easier to stay away from them.

    I disagree that he let his guards down. He voluntarily chose not to wear a mask and clearly was free with social distancing. Therefore, his guard was never "up". It's sad because his actions/inactions matter and I wonder how many have followed his lead to not mask up and socially distance.

    Trump needs for this to be a mild case or else it belies much of his rhetoric so far. In the meantime, what's gonna happen with the Pence-Harris debate on Tuesday? Will the format be changed? For sure Trump getting the virus will dominate the topics.

    Here's a take on Trump's COVID from our friends at QAnon

    SNIP
    After Trump's announcement of his positive test, believers in QAnon sought to decode the wording of his tweet as a sign that the president was poised to arrest former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for her role in the made-up scandal of the sex trafficking ring. They suggested, without evidence, that Trump actually doesn't have the virus at all but was sending a message that he's about to go on a mission to root out the "evil cabal."
    ENDSNIP

    Yep.. I've seen this in every spy novel I've ever read. You have to pretend to kill/disable the spymaster, so he can go undercover to stop the bad guys... Fat James Bond at 74... However, Trump is BOTH shaken and stirred...

    So that's a no. Nobody will be forced to get a Covid shot. So tell my why do so many anti-rona believers believe they will be forced to receive one?

    I don't live in New York. Clearly you aren't a sports fan as my avatar would have given you a clue where I reside.

    Are you going to tell your doctor her or she is a globalist fool for wearing a mask?

    Why do you believe this? Are those same people you believe will be forced to get a Covid shot also forced to get an annual flu shot?

    When you find a link, a website, a facebook....or something tangible that allows me to see how crazy they really are, let me know. Otherwise as far as I'm concerned this is a case of liberal media having fun and using their position to create falsehoods to slander those who they dont agree with.

    No, because it is clearly worse and more deadly as science proves. But you still haven't answered why you believe people will be forced to receive a covid shot.
