Holy shit. This'll be interesting.

Ahhhhhhh, you beat me to it!
Trump, first lady test positive for Covid-19
The announcement comes shortly after the president said he and the first lady were in the "quarantine process" following senior aide Hope Hicks' positive test.

So we can assume no 2nd debate next week I guess. What a gargantuan shit show this has become.
Possible. Next debate is 10/15, so it is well past quarantine period. As long as they are medically okay, I am sure WH physician will clear him. Preparing for a debate would be very difficult with many staffers and POTUS being quarantined.

Oh damn, I thought it was the 7th. Must have clicked the wrong date on my calendar when I put it in there...whoops. I thought it was kinda quick for the 2nd. User error.

Just checked online and VP one is on 7th.
If POTUS STILL took hydroxychloroquine as he recommended despite of CDC/NIH/FDA/SG's claim, he would've been immured to COVID-19 . :D
[hahhah-no] [Sarcasm2] [tinhat]
And if he survives with minor/no symptoms...
No excuses for continued restrictions for bug with a 99.9x% survival rate.

Odds on Biden's camp using Trump's positive test as a reason to cancel the second debate? You gotta know they're murder-boarding the idea ...

FFS... I can't even begin to imagine what's gonna go wrong next with this year. I finally get to a place in life where I can slow down and enjoy it and 2020 comes along.
I can see it now... Next crisis for 2020 will be zombies that can't be killed by anything other than spraying them with patchouli oil and force-feeding them organic tofu from Whole Foods.
The libtards will be dancing in the streets with joy thinking Trump is going to die from the deadly virus.
Their heads will explode when he pulls through and survives.
Also, better this happened to Trump than Obama. I mean being quarantined with Melania has to be better than being holed up with the former First Lady.
Guess we'll see what happens. His age, being overweight and diet of fast food are all going to work against him fighting this off.

We are saying total opposite.
If he can tolerate a fast food at age 74 or 76, he can probably go through this. [LOL]
I know he does not walk the course, but he plays golf maybe 2x month.

Btw. Not John Torrez but the NBC streaming physician (young one) is an idiot.
This thing is endemic, we'll likely all get it eventually.
Just need to test negative two days in a row to come out of quarantine, right?

His age, being overweight and diet of fast food are all going to work against him fighting this off.His diet sucks and he is overweight but the guy has energy like no other which has to mean he's strong. What other mid-70's man who eats McD's all day can do high energy events in 4 states in one day, blow up twitter all night and then go on to do it again each day after?

FIFY
He'll pull through just to insult us on Twitter if we add tiny hands.

But half the Colorado zombies already spray themselves with patchouli oil and eat organic tofu! [panic]

Yup. Poor guy only has a 99.5% chance of survival. If only he had worn a mask and self isolated...[ROFL1]

Dr. on CBS News stated that a little over 5% of people that test positive get sick.
So, even Gayle King said she hoped that he was in the other 94+ % that don't get sick.
Maybe a buying opportunity in the Stock Market?

I doubt that it kills him, but the virus has sidelined distance runners in their 20's and 30's. Boris Johnson was hospitalized and was in the same general health as Trump. I'm not really a fan of his, but I do worry what chaos might ensue if he ends up hospitalized, especially if he requires a ventilator.

No they test a week or 2 apart.
As for we'll all get it, i agree I figure the spouse and i are in line to come down with symptoms or not. yet test positive.
However that really means shit, in the long run. A fried of ours up in the hills tested positive, his wife an at risk person, did not.
He's home with difficult breathing and feeling lethargic, for 2 weeks[ish] She has no issues. but they both think she's catching a cold, showing none of the virus symptoms. The other day she is struggling to breath. Now she's in the quarantine section of the ER on oxygen, testing positive for the virus. Almost 4 weeks after the initial test, that showed negative. .
Is Pence 2020 a bad idea?

Trump schedule today is cancelled. Even his intel brief. Probably got infected on the plane, same way I did. RIDING IN AIRPLANES IS A BIG NO NO. I AM STILL COUGHING 8 MONTHS AFTER COVID-19.

See if you can dig up the stats on how many pilots and flight attendants have gotten Covid.

The canceled in person meetings make sense with him under quarantine.
But Pence filled in on a scheduled conference call with the Governor's today...that's going to raise some questions.

No stats but a ton of rule changes from FAA. Statistics are for after the facts. Predictive analysis for COVID-19 modelling has too many unknown variables. When I had it, the doctors thought I had a pulmonary edema from the long flight.
https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=94991
I heard for a long time that there were zero cases of pilots or flight attendants getting the virus. Makes you wonder how safe or dangerous things really are.
I just came back from Vegas a month ago and am about to get a test some time this week. I don't think I have it.

So, if you don?t think you have it then why bother getting tested?
I don?t think I have a sexually transmitted disease and you don?t see me running out to be tested for STDs.
And for you tin foil hat, conspiracy types...
Trump doesn?t really have Covid. It?s all a ploy to distract the media and the public since every single news story for the next several weeks will be all about Trump?s condition rather than anything to do with anything else.
Fake news!
His Twitter got hacked by antifa and it was them who spread a fake news!!
:)

Well, I HAVE to get tested for our Hawaii trip in a couple months, whether I think I have it or not.

Yes, like "is VP Pence going to run in 2024?".
Joking aside, this is my prediction.
1. No severe symptom. Most likely no Walter Reed.
2. 30% probability that HE WILL make it to the 2nd debate. It is well past quarantine time. It is coordination and staffers prep which might not get him to participate.
3. Trump haters just wasted time thinking "What if...." scenario for 2weeks.
4. Trump fanboys just wasted time thinking "What if...." scenario for 2weeks.
5. Tin foil hat wearing ones will shut up about the virus/Epidemiology/virology is fake.
6. Pharmaceutical/Biotech speculators will have a field day trading for ~2 weeks.
I'm not in disagreement with you, but it IS 2020.
If it can 2020, it will 2020.
Dig the sharpies out just in case, it's time for PENCE 2020!
ETA: Actually for those not aware, it would become an utter shit show because the GOP would get to decide the candidate last minute. Tom Tancredo anyone?

Here is the statistics for hospitalization and death. Age is a huge factor in ability to survive this infection.

Liberals have no idea if pence becomes a president..... :)
I don't wanna do what if too much , but if POTUS is NOT in an incubator or respirator, he still can get nominated right? He is on a ticket after all.
Can cabinets do 25th on physical health?
It's called drugs.
Supposedly he's not a drug user, and the fact that Trump was trying to goad Biden into taking a pre-debate drug test would indicate that he doesn't think he's got anything in his system.
If Trump recovers and he's on HCQ, you can bet he's going to make a big deal about it, which will, of course, be hilarious.
It is an utter shit show as in my ETA if he goes south or is at all incapacitated. GOP "picks" and it wouldn't be Pence.
Instead, we'd get a knucklehead that couldn't administer a halfway home for chuckleheads, and who would make Biden look eloquent and articulate. Pence would be POTUS only until January.

I was thinking the same thing when he wanted to do a drug test before the debate. I thought that was a great idea and really wished they'd done it.
Well, I HAVE to get tested for our Hawaii trip in a couple months, whether I think I have it or not.
Ugh. We opted to skip Hawaii this year thanks to this nonsense.
They wanted a negative test without 48 hours of the trip.

I guess you can eat McDs all day if you stay away from the sauce.
Not drinking doesn't equal not taking prescription drugs though. Either way, it's not like I know what he puts into his body. There have been rumors of him on some sort of stimulant for a long time. Rumors don't equal drug use. We'll probably never know, and I'm okay with that.
I predict POTUS and FLOTUS are mildly symptomatic to asymptomatic and recover without much difficulty or treatment.
Hopefully this will help settle down all the craziness and put things back into proportion a bit... we aren't all about to die from this thing and getting it isn't as big a deal as the media has made it out to be.... it definitely sucks for SOME, and a few do in fact die which is tragic, but ultimately getting it doesn't matter much to MOST.
Okay. Potus going to Walter Reed.

Hold off on the drama for now. He's mildly symptomatic and going to WRAH "out of an abundance of caution". Maybe it's serious, maybe it isn't. It's probably much easier to isolate and treat him there as opposed to the White House.

He posted a video an hour ago. Sounded a little stuffy, but other than that he seemed normal. He walked to the chopper with no problem.
Now two Republican senators on the judiciary committee have tested positive. That may affect the supreme court nomination

Apparently 11 people who worked on the debate setup have tested positive too. People who were no longer present when Trump showed up. 11 people. In charge of prepping for a presidential visit. Tested positive. Huh.
Looks like Kayleigh McEnany also tested positive.
If the 3 R senators end up having complications, or even if 2 of them do and can't vote for the confirmation, it won't look good on getting it through prior to the election.
We are saying total opposite.
If he can tolerate a fast food at age 74 or 76, he can probably go through this. [LOL]
I know he does not walk the course, but he plays golf maybe 2x month.

Btw. Not John Torrez but the NBC streaming physician (young one) is an idiot.
Just saw him on nbc nightly news. His name is Vin Gupta of U of WA.
Starting to wonder and wouldn’t put it past them if the democrats planted positive people around all these folks. Why are the dems positive in big numbers?
Yeah that's probably it. lol.
