I can’t believe they knew Hicks was positive and Trump exposed BEFORE he went to New Jersey yesterday and met with people maskless. Irresponsible mother fuckers.
Pretty much all medical tests (others as well) are tuned to produce more false positives than negatives - meaning: you get false indicator that you found something you were looking for. That's because this lets you focus on that sample and repeat the test.
There are practical consequences for COVID and travel. In many countries you need a recent negative test to get on board a plane. So you need to be sure the negative results are as accurate as possible, because this a negative test won't be repeated. Positive test means you're grounded and you have time to take another one.
It's a bit like in statistics, where you have a hypothesis and you don't test if it's true. You're testing whether you can reject the hypothesis or not.
He can easily maintain the core voters, he can get some sympathetic ones as well. And he can become a hero of the undecided "COVID is not serious" when he gets cured literally days before the election day.
If he remains in good health, he'll be super active online - on Twitter, in video interviews and speeches.
If everyone else can do their office jobs and meetings remotely, he can as well.
Just two weeks ago we were talking at work about him pulling a false flag before the election and now here it is.I think he’s lying.

You know, I just realized how stupid one thing Trump has been saying actually is. Always, when asked if Trump was personally worried or personally concerned about catching Covid Trump would say "NO, WE ARE TESTED ALL THE TIME". Well Donald, getting tested and testing negative doesn't mean you are immune. Doesn't mean you can forget about masks or social distancing. I really believe that Donald Trump thought to be tested was to have protection.
Not really seeing how lying helps him here. He's behind in polls and just doing nothing till the election doesn't really seem like a good strategy to change things up.
the best takes so far i have seen is
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If he has it but the list of people he's been close to lately is
lmao
He's gonna fake his own death to go deep, deep undercover, to fight the evil liberal child-trafficking ring. [/Qanon]
Is that response to James' ~weekly news about the Dacia Sandero?
So... what does this do for the SCOTUS process? Barrett was at the White House and met with all of them. Does she now head to Capitol Hill and meet with senators and attend hearings?
Cause having the debates would be worse.Not really seeing how lying helps him here. He's behind in polls and just doing nothing till the election doesn't really seem like a good strategy to change things up.
If following standards that most of us are required to live by these days at work, then she and everyone in contact with Trump and Hicks are required to quarantine for at east 2 weeks.
Does the availability of testing change that situation at all? Can you not just test someone who is in that situation and thus know if they are infectious or not?
Or is the test not reliable until someone has had it for at least 2 weeks?
May they continue to cluck through the election process.The chickens have come home to roost.
Shit, I been doin' this since middle of March. Can you imagine how much sympathy I have for the big fat blowhard having to quarantine? Can you imagine?????With his anti-mask agenda, shaming anyone in the WH that does wear one, this could go through the staff, cabinet, etc., like the wildfires in California.
FLOTUS is also COVID positive.
Will he break quarantine? Can he stand 14 days of isolation without rallies, or golf.
The ultimate cherry on top would be Mitch getting this and dropping dead tbh.
There is a phase where the viral load is below the limit of detection for molecular (PCR) tests, but this is only 2-3 days after exposure.
This is why tests are sometimes repeated within a couple days in critical situations.
Antibody tests are post-infection and body's response has kicked in and built up. They are not as sensitive as well.
Cause having the debates would be worse.

Oh, well, a question we should all ask ourselves now is just how many people has he already passed this on to? He's not exactly a conscientious person.All I know now is that every time you see him without a mask between now and Election Day, he’s reminding everyone that he’s helping to spread this disease.
