    The President and First Lady Have Tested Positive for COVID 19

    Not good.

    Trump Tests Positive for the Coronavirus

    The president’s result came after he spent months playing down the severity of the outbreak that has killed more than 207,000 in the United States and hours after insisting that “the end of the pandemic is in sight.”

    Why continue to spread this bullshit? If anything Putin WANTS Biden in office they already know he can be bought. And to be honest since Trump has taken office what has happened that makes him "Putin's man"? Nothing. If anything there has been peace in the Middle East, we have withdrawn more troops, NATO countries are FINALLY paying more money for OUR protection, nothing has happened in the Ukraine or any of the former Soviet republics, North & South Korea have not been at each other's throats and Little Kim isn't firing rocket test after rocket test, generally extreme Islamic terrorism has waned to the point of almost nothing. Now go back and look at Obama's last term and tell me how all those things were?

    I know you guys HATE Trump but seriously the fact that you can never give him credit for anything is sad.

    Looks like a lot of people are about to get a lesson on what a 99.8%-99.9% survival rate is, and have their hopes crushed bigly. It must really suck to be a liberal.

    Bullshit?
    You need to read up on the ties to Russia Trump has via: Michael Flynn, Carter Page, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Felix Sater...just to name a few.
    Fake news...right?

    Will this positive test prevent Trump from participating in the next debate?

    You need to read up on all the Obama figures about to be indicted on charges for this garbage. Manafort was indicted on crap he did in 2010. Seriously you are still believing all these lies?

    https://www.detroitnews.com/story/ne...rge/112124824/

    The U.S. Justice Department this week handed over 14 new pages of documents that show misconduct by prosecutors who suppressed evidence that would have helped him, Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, said in a filing Friday with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington.

    Golf is still considered socially distanced, correct? Can he still go golfing this Sunday like he normally does?

    But.... I thought the reason for the mask was so you don't give it to someone, not to keep you from getting it???

    Basically yeah, except what's the point of having one in your pocket?

    Quick, tell me where all the hospitals are that are overwhelmed. Otherwise there's no point to anything besides running everything at full capacity without any masks at all. I mean, listen to the experts, right?

    Thanks, I'm going to steal that.

    I can't imagine why any thinking person wouldn't try to live in the very low risk, mask to mask, setting as often as possible.

    If you can't reason that infographic out on your own...then c'mon. I seriously question what you are doing out of the house unsupervised without a helmet on anyways.

    It is almost totally unbelievable that people without massive brain injuries are still having a hard time with this.

    Now...if you say you just don't want to or don't worry about the risk level -- fine. But to pretend the information is too complicated for your little brain to understand is just simply ridiculous.

    This should be investigated thoroughly for years by biased investigators!

    Seriously, these kinds of posters are up in health networks all over the place for public education. Here is one from Oklahoma. https://tulsatech.edu/wp-content/upl...-Wear-Mask.jpg

    Correct but it also protects the person wearing it as well.

    It’s all a scam anyway. Trump doesn’t want any more debates and he’s trying to get some of the sympathy vote. No worries...he will be fine.

    I'll buy that.......but why wasn't this the narrative from the start? The narrative has always been that the mask was to keep you from giving it to others. There was never anything about the mask protecting you. The narrative seems to change with whatever narrative is needed at the time.

    That's simply not true. A basic Google search can demonstrate that.

    What was made was appeals to people's concern for others even if they weren't worried about themselves.

    If Biden wins the shutdown will end and the COVID "deaths" will magically disappear.

    Honestly, because a lot of people hear what they want to hear and a lot of social media algorithm's push stories the way of how people browse, so it appeals to them. So when politicians on the right went anti mask and those on the left went pro mask, a lot of people that were polarized were reading what they want to hear, whether its reliable info or not.

    I wasnt posting warnings about Hydroxychloroquine based upon my beliefs, it was based upon the scientific evidence and credibility, or lack of for the studies that were out there.

    Just like now, a mask isnt political to me, nor should it be to anybody. Its just a common sense way to reduce risk, with no downside. Measurements with a pulse oxymeter show that there is no change in a persons blood oxygen levels with a mask, compared to without a mask. So the notion that it hampers breathing is not true.

    Stay safe out there and best of luck with things.

    Sad that somebody has demonstrated the lack of trust to the point that we believe he is possibly faking infection of a virus that has killed 1 million people globally. But, it is what it is.

    That urinating chart is a good one too. Saw that a couple months back.

    I guess I should be fair and balanced and acknowledge that mask recommendation was initially unclear as no was certain of the transmission mode of a new virus.

    Honestly, there has never been randomized trials of mask, vs no mask in a case of a virus with a R0 of 2 or higher, mostly because it would never pass ethics review, but also who would sign up for one that could give them a potentially harmful virus. So all people can do is go on retrospective data that is happening like this.

    But there are so many variables in terms of whether somebody knows how to properly handle one, how much hand washing they do, face touching, touching of other surfaces and mask, time spent indoors vs outdoors, etc.

    So, initially there was no level 1 evidence to say masks should be used. Then it became anecdotal and common sense, with no downside. Like, nobody ever complains to their surgeon who is about to operate on their knee, hip, gall bladder, hernia, etc about him wearing a mask and that he/she are sheep and slaves to the government. Its a best practice to reduce the risk of infection.
