Sure would be nice to have a functioning executive branch of government right about now. Oh well.

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

So, Bill Barr, ‘I am self quarantining’ despite a negative result yesterday’ can perhaps be counted as a positive by omission?

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

If Christie, Trump, and Barr all get it and don't die, I think we will have to revisit what a comorbidity is.

His outer shell is stiff lard, so the virus is taking a little longer to permeate.

Just went to the WH contact tracing page I posted yesterday and it’s been removed. Oops.

That context helps.  I’ll chime in because this has actually happened.  I’m talking patients hospitalized with covid who insist on violating quarantine.  We had several respiratory/Covid units - thankfully all closed right now.  I’d 100% do the same for Trump.  Unbelievable.

of course she is. We have a very contagious disease, and all of these people spent great deals of time together in close quarters and without following any recommended practices.

Has Meadows already had the virus? He was in close contact with everybody and given how frantic things have been is not taking care of himself.

If he did, he's probably on his 43rd level iteration of 4D chess, so he's not disclosing.  Wouldn't shock me if he's not getting tested rn.

I’ve said a million times we see more correlation with blood type vs obesity in terms of outcomes.  Most who do poorly have an overwhelming immune response.  Meaning their response to fight the virus is the real issue.  Don’t need to rehash all that but here we are...

[ChiTownDoc 21154]

Not an attorney but if you flaunted the rules and even lied about test results then give the virus to someone who ends up dead is there a potential for a criminal charge?  It’s insane if not.

Dammit Kayleigh, it says right there under the tab labeled “shit not to do when you have been exposed to COVID”...........

”do not give in person press meetings without a mask.”

Yes I know that’s true and a fact but it involves something that’s a sin by bible thumpers...sex outside of marriage.  This is different for that reason alone - it shouldn’t be, but it is.

Not a lawyer, but I read you would have to prove that that actual strain of COVID came from the person you are suing and that they knowingly did something to give it to you 

its practically impossible unless you get them to give your attorney their Med records and got them on tape admitting they wanted to harm you/people

There have been assault charges for that.  This seems quite similar.

Well with these pile of shitheads, there’s a chance.  I’m guessing med records could be subpoenaed if this part came out...

True.  The ones I’m thinking of were long enough ago that HIV was still viewed as a gay thing, so there’s that angle as well.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13519]

Chris Christie is worst offender of this recent group to catch COVID. The mf-er flaunts all safety protocol at the Barrett nomination ceremony so it's not difficult to think that this is SOP for him. Then as soon as he tests positive, he runs to the hospital because of potential problems given his other conditions. Now he's wasting hospital resources because he couldn't be a grown up and take care of himself. It's not like he doesn't know he's very obese, has asthma, and who knows what else. 

Perhaps going to the hospital is the right course of action but what that shouldn't remove criticism of him.

They won’t want to deal with the quarantine upon return.

Would killing off Garland be a bad thing?

The president’s recklessness at Walter Reed has Don Jr. pushing for an intervention, but Ivanka and Jared “keep telling Trump how great he’s doing,” a source says.

Now that all the people around Trump are catching it like dominoes, the odds go up that at least one of them is going to die from it.  Christie might be the favorite right now.

Of course going to the hospital is the right course of action.  But Christie is the type that clearly doesn't give a shit about his own health until its too late, at which point he was always going to start racking up the hospital bills in order to extend his life just a little bit longer.  While there are a lot of people that don't currently have access to "wellness" care, Christie has never been one of those people.  Now he is going to jack up the premiums for everyone on Aetna or UHC or whatever insurer he is using.  He was supposed to be a good little conservative and wait until he is on medicare to become a burden.

And then there's this.  It seems like if a gene from neanderthals puts you at increased risk of a severe response, then our knuckle-dragging neanderthal of a President might be in for a tough fight, no?

Risk of Severe Coronavirus Linked to Neanderthal Genes From 60,000 Years Ago

Long ago, in the south of Europe, modern humans and Neanderthals had at least one encounter that resulted in children. While dalliances between our two species are now well documented, no one could possibly have foreseen how grimly they would impact our world 60,000 years later.

A resulting stretch of Neanderthal DNA spread far through our populations as it was passed down through the generations, even while the Neanderthals themselves became extinct. Around 50 percent of the people in South Asia and 16 percent of people in Europe now carry this length of DNA, which scientists have now linked to the most severe form of COVID-19.

According to the new research, those who have this genetic inheritance are three times more likely to require mechanical ventilation once they contract the virus, explains evolutionary anthropologist Hugo Zeberg from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany.

There is a long history in the Trump family of denying serious illness. According to a Trump family friend, Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., insisted on working even after his Alzheimer’s disease advanced in the 1990s. “To retire is to expire!” Fred Sr. would say. The friend said that as Fred Sr.’s disease worsened––he once came down the stairs wearing three neckties––the family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign. The phone on Fred’s desk was set up so that it could only dial out to his secretary. “Fred pretended to work,” the family friend said.

The Trump family’s private concern about Trump’s behavior could raise questions about his fitness for office. Trump has been prescribed drugs that medical experts say can seriously impair his cognitive function. Last night the New York Times reported that steroids, which Trump is reportedly taking, specifically dexamethasone, are known to “affect mood, causing euphoria or a general happiness.”

This is not a bad idea.  We tell Trump he won, set up a fake oval office at Maro Largo and set up a phone that only goes to Ivanka and let him sit there watch TV, tweet and sign fake EOs.  Think of the ratings!
