President Trump, first lady Melania test positive for coronavirus

Well if the POTUS dies, he'll be seen as a martyr by many of his supporters and you can't attribute Trump to Pence.

Politically this could be bad for Democrats as Pence could possibly beat Biden and Barrett would be seen as Trump's dying legacy as they push her in.

 

I don't believe that to be true in this case. The country would be infinitely better with Pence running the show.

 

Without a doubt he'd do a better job than the real Trump. Karma is a bitch isn't it?

 

Trump is being treated with regeneron antibody cocktail. So much for HCQ

 

Baloney.

Trump/Pence were losing before this.

Trump built a cult of personality. You can't hand that over like a ham sandwich. There is simply no upside to this for Trump or Pence. The tough to figure out part is what influence it might have on downballot races.

 

I said it's HISTORICALLY true... that precedent doesn't have to apply every time...

And it's still not clear to me why somebody with "mild symptoms" needs to go to the hospital, when millions didn't...

 

Because he's the president!!! This is very easy to understand. Pretend it's Hillary or Biden or Obama or Bush. You want them to get the best care?

 

Not surprising. When has a President ever NOT been transferred to Walter Reed when their life may be in danger?

 

He'll be seen as a martyr regardless of how and when he leaves office, but best of luck pushing that story about somebody who ignored and mocked the disease he now has.

I've always said I don't want any POTUS to be killed while in office. This wouldn't be that...

 

He's been given an experimental drug which implies he is in much worse state than reported

 

Awe damn, that's terrible to contemplate.

 

I can only pretend Hillary was president and Biden is still a month away.

What exactly "best care" is he going to get at the hospital he couldn't get at the WH.. Does he need round the clock care? Does he need machine care? Does he need special drugs?

Of course they’re the same pores. The virus is transmitted via droplets from the mouth and nose. As a surgical mask is covering the mask and nose, it impedes (captures) the majority of those outgoing droplets. Naturally - being the same material - it works the other way too, capturing droplets which land on the mask, preventing you from inhaling them. However, the mask is loose. It is possible that they may enter from the sides, top or bottom. This means that makers must put a disclaimer about their ability to prevent infection - which was the topic of the exchange.

As I’ve just explained above, they do provide a degree of protection for the wearer.

Tell me, if you’re wearing a mask, which is covering your mouth and nose, and someone with Covid-19 shouts, coughs or sneezes in your face, do you think you’d be more or less likely to inhale the infected droplets than if you weren’t wearing a mask?

Well it’s possible, yes. But surgical masks are primarily intended to block the transmission of the wearer’s virus-infected droplets.

Of course they do. It’s a matter of common sense if nothing else. Having something over your mouth and nose will OBVIOUSLY impede anything coming out of your mouth and nose, especially when it’s made of materials specifically and scientifically designed to do. Or did you think someone just invented them one, for no reason at all.

No pore size is not an issue. Droplets are at the very least 5 microns, plus surgical masks have a complex pore structure, electrostatic properties, etc. etc., and the Brownian motion comes into play.

Sure, cloth masks are not as effective. But they’re going to do something. Anything that’s a barrier in front of the mouth or nose is going to block some proportion of things coming out of the mouth or nose. That’s just common sense physics if nothing else - like when we sneeze into a tissue.

Glad to know you know something, at least.

No, it doesn't travel naked. It doesn’t have any motive ability.

Droplets are composed of matter, not just water.

Actually, that 0.5 droplet size is my typo - should have been 5 microns, and that’s the minimum size of a droplet.

 

link?

 

Yah which is why I think it’s not a scam

 

....and the people that have looked to him as an example..? Meh...he's fine he's being helo'ed off to his private room with hot and cold running nurses but all those idiots that drooled over his every word probably aren't so fortunate.... who's protecting them....ah who gives a toss...shouldn't have listened to a fella with the brains of a slice of cheese.

 

Not sure it’s always bad

 

This policy policy policy. When the president's health is in danger, we send him to Walter Reed. This isn't new.

 

Or it could expose just how incompetent the RW was on this issue and harm every republican on the ballot

 

So why didn’t he go last night? What changed?

 

Then the WH should say his "health is in danger", instead of the "precautionary measures" and "mild symptoms" BS....

 

I am unaware of what's happening in private.

 

I don't like Trump but he is the President he unfortunately carries the football so with that said he gets way better treatment as he should than us. If things suddenly gets worse as far as his health it's best he is at the hospital. From the film of him getting on marine 1 he seems sick but nothing overly serious as of yet.

 

What's the point ?

Who wants to watch another 1 1/2 hours of Trump talking over someone ?

Trump Doesn't have what it takes to do the job ........... even more apparent today

 

Funny there was no mention of walter ried until very recently. Maybe he has taken a turn for the worse.
