How is Joe Biden, he was very close to him for a long time on Tuesday?

...and what is Trump's policy on wearing masks?

Shocker!

No need to cancel. They could do it on Zoom or Go2Meeting.

DJT will beat down Covid-19 like he did CNN in this video.  8)

I always wondered going back to 2007 if Donald was the one who got his head shaved and Vince had kept his full head of hair.

Donald Trump's Democratic rival for the White House, Joe Biden, has tweeted about the president's Covid-19 diagnosis. Mr Biden said he would "pray for the health and safety" of Mr Trump and his wife Melania.

Shocker!

President Donald Trump is experiencing "mild symptoms" of Covid-19, the Associated Press and New York Times report, quoting an unnamed White House official. Earlier, the president's doctor said Trump and First Lady Melania, who has also tested positive, were both well and planned "to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence".

I wonder if this will change his tune about the pandemic.

Then again I almost wonder if this is fake news. Would be an ideal time to say he got it, then say that it’s nothing because he didn’t get sick. Right before the election.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

If it’s true then I wish them the best.

Very perceptive of you.

I wish them all a speedy recovery.  :(

I thought the same thing

Apparently someone called John Cammo tweeted in mid September that Trump would do this.

We live in a post-truth society.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has said both he and his wife have tested negative for coronavirus. A statement issued by the couple's doctor said they underwent testing on Friday morning. Biden and Trump, who has tested positive for the virus, took part in the first presidential debate of the campaign on Tuesday night.

Maybe he was faking it.

Why is this a shocker? His rallies were packed with maskless people. He never wore a mask and he didn't practice social distancing with a lot of maskless people. The only shocking thing is that he didn't get it sooner.

He did wear a mask.

Rarely.

Not at first, and he has also ridiculed Biden for wearing one

Maybe he was faking it.


I'm kind of wondering about that too. It sure would be a convenient excuse for him to skip out on the rest of the debates, especially considering what a dumpster fire the last one was.

Plus he can come back in two weeks, "fully recovered" from it, and then brag about how great his immune system is. I can just see the imagine the press conference. "I've got the biggest, strongest immune system EVER!"  ::)

US President Donald Trump has been taken to hospital less than 24 hours after testing positive for coronavirus.

Mr Trump began exhibiting "mild symptoms" of Covid-19 on Thursday after disclosing that he and his wife had gone into quarantine late Wednesday.

He received a cocktail of drugs as a "precautionary measure", the White House said, and was feeling "fatigued but in good spirits".

He was transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.

I was WONDERING when this was finally going to occur.

When I found out about it last night, I thought to myself: Why am I not surprised? He hasn't been taking the mask-wearing/social-distancing seriously, and neither is anyone who supporst him, apparently.

This could be a super spreader. Not only do we have Hope Hicks and the Trumps, we also have:

-Ronna McDaniel
-Rev. John Jenkins
-Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah),
-Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.)
-Kellyanne Conway
-Bill Stepien
-Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.)
-Chris Christie

There are also a few reporters as well as some staff.

So, karma bit him in the ass!

I agree.

He was flown to Walter Reed's Medical Center yesterday afternoon, and is still in there. Last report I saw on CNN said he was receiving oxygen.

So, karma bit him in the ass!



Couldn't have said it better myself.


Cat

He'll be back!

He'll be back!

So he says. ::) But from what I've understood about this virus, once you test positive for it, you have to be quarantined for at least several days?

I don't know about the US but here it's 14 days if you have been around someone with Corona. No idea how long one has to isolate after an actual infection. I find it funny that he is allegedly already on the way of recovery... Must be a funny Covid 19 variant that only lasts a few days in a guy that should by all standards be considered a high risk patient. :-X

He'll be back!


saying that his immune system is the greatest.  ::)

I'm not exactly sure about how many days for here in the US either, but I do actually know a person who tested positive for it several months ago, and he was in quarantine for well over a week, maybe two (I don't remember for certain, but he was in there for quite a while; and this person is close in age to my parents).



I find it funny that he is allegedly already on the way of recovery... Must be a funny Covid 19 variant that only lasts a few days in a guy that should by all standards be considered a high risk patient. :-X

Yeah...and I have a hard time believing he is recovering. ::) If you ask me, he should have a negative test before he can be discharged.

How does HE know for sure? Does he have proof? lol. ::)

In my limited medical knowledge, if "his immune system is the greatest", he would not have caught in the first place?

Medical experts are questioning Donald Trump's decision to greet supporters in a drive-past outside the hospital where he is being treated for Covid-19.

Since when does the opinion of medical experts (or  any other experts) matter?

US First Lady Melania Trump, whose Covid-19 diagnosis was announced last Friday alongside President Trump's, has given an update on her condition via Twitter. In a tweet, Melania, 50, wrote that she was “feeling good” and “will continue to rest at home”. Unlike her husband President Trump, Melania has not required treatment in hospital for Covid-19, instead choosing to self-quarantine at the White House. The president, being 74, a man and someone categorised as obese, is in a higher-risk category for Covid-19. US media have reported that Melania does not plan to leave the White House until she has recovered from the disease.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has become the latest Republican to test positive for the coronavirus.

In a Twitter post she wrote: "After testing negatively consistently, including every day since Thursday, I tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday morning while experiencing no symptoms."

She added that no members of the press are considered close contacts, according to the White House medical unit.

“Moreover, I definitely had no knowledge of Hope Hicks’ diagnosis prior to holding a White House press briefing on Thursday," she said referring to the Trump aide who was the first White House worker to test positive ahead of last week's outbreak.

“As an essential worker, I have worked diligently to provide needed information to the American People at this time.”

McEnany added that she will quarantine and will "continue to work on the behalf of the American people".

I'm not exactly sure about how many days for here in the US either, but I do actually know a person who tested positive for it several months ago, and he was in quarantine for well over a week, maybe two (I don't remember for certain, but he was in there for quite a while; and this person is close in age to my parents).

Yeah...and I have a hard time believing he is recovering. ::) If you ask me, he should have a negative test before he can be discharged.

How does HE know for sure? Does he have proof? lol. ::)


He always says that everything is perfect or great.  ::)

He just doesn't want to accept when things are not his way. That's just sad.

If Donald Trump says he is better after leaving hospital, should he be in isolation to make sure of a complete recovery?

I would think that's a good idea.

Yes, but did you see his "grand entrance" to the white  house?  Ripped off his  mask and proceeded to infect the W.H. staff.  Nice guy

I will not make a rush to a news channel to view that.

I saw it last night along with his statement that covid is no big deal. Just as I figured he would.

Of course it isn't! What are 200,000+ fatalities compared to his word after all. ::)

He may say he is better, but he probably isn't totally better. You can't trust anything that guy says. ::) And I agree he should be in isolation.

My prediction is that he will be back in the hospital before the week is out.

Putting in context, when UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was in hospital for 22 days...

How come you don't see him sneezing or looking frail and weak, what kind of medicine are they giving him?  ::)

If Trump follows the Herman Cain pattern, he'll most likely be dead by Halloween.

Cain was diagnosed July 2 and died July 30.

If Trump's on dexamethasone (which is only for the most severe cases, if it spreads to his lungs), his odds are already at 25%. Not to mention his age, weight and underlying health. Plus, the (literally) poor man can't even breathe.

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has said the second televised debate should not take place if President Donald Trump is still infected. "I think if he still has Covid, we shouldn't have a debate," Biden said on Tuesday. "I think we're gonna have to follow very strict guidelines. Too many people have been infected and it's a very serious problem." The debate is scheduled for 15 October in Miami, Florida. Trump tested positive on Thursday 1 October, but it's not clear when he caught the virus or began to feel unwell. According to US public health guidelines, Trump should remain in isolation for up to 10 days after symptoms first appear.

Covid-19 is spreading further among those around US President Donald Trump, with White House adviser Stephen Miller and a top military official infected. Mr Miller, who has been self-isolating for the past five days, confirmed on Tuesday that he had tested positive. Several military leaders are also quarantining after Coast Guard official Admiral Charles Ray tested positive. Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Joe Biden has said Mr Trump should not debate him if he is still infected.

The government's response to this is an absolute failure on so many levels.  :-\\

Donald Trump has claimed his treatment with an experimental drug cocktail last week was a "cure" - rather than just a therapeutic. In video posted on Twitter, the US president said his infection "was a blessing from God" in disguise. Trump, who spent three days in hospital with Covid-19, said he was feeling great, and wanted all Americans to have free access to the treatments he was given, a combination of antibodies still undergoing clinical trials. He added that hundreds of thousands of doses were nearly ready. The president has been widely criticised for his handling of the pandemic, and critics say he has repeatedly downplayed the threat posed by the virus.
