I didn't know that Trump made sure he wasn't able to see him in person.

I’m going to spitball here and put forward the hypothesis that Trump knew or suspected he had Covid and actively concealed it from his staff/press as long as he possibly could.  

I’m just looking at the timeline of events and the evidence, namely the magnitude and proximity to Trump of the outbreak.  Trump might have suspected he had covid but refused to take a test for fear of a positive.  It wasn’t until it was leaked that Hope Hicks tested positive that the suspicions of Trump being positive forced his hand.  The day after Trump revealed a positive test, he was hospitalized for days which also leads me to believe he was carrying the virus for a while, maybe a week or so.

fuck you, covid. you had ONE job...

It’s probably for the best that we get to do it ourselves. 
 

however, it would be nice if it could kill a couple of henchmen to maybe put some doubt or fear into some of the followers.

Chris Christie found Covid Jesus. Only took almost dying alone.

Chris Christie says he was in ICU for 7 days battling Covid-19, urges Americans to wear masks

"As a former public official, I believe we have not treated Americans as adults, who understand truth, sacrifice and responsibility," Christie said in a statement.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday urged Americans to wear masks to fight the coronavirus that put him in intensive care for seven days, and warned the virus is "something to take very seriously."

Christie was one of a number of people with ties to the White House who tested positive for the coronavirus at around the same time as President Donald Trump.

 

"I believed that when I entered the White House grounds, that I had entered a safe zone, due to the testing that and I and many others underwent every day. I was wrong. I was wrong to not wear a mask at the Amy Coney Barrett announcement and I was wrong not to wear a mask at my multiple debate prep sessions with the President and the rest of the team," Christie said in a statement obtained by NBC News.

The government's top infectious disease doctor, Anthony Fauci, last week called the Rose Garden event, where few attendees wore masks, a "superspreader event."

The longtime Trump ally said he's now recovered from his illness, and thanked his doctors and "the manufacturers of Remdesivir and the Eli Lilly monoclonal anti-body cocktail for giving me access to their extraordinary treatments. I am confident that all of those factors contributed to my good health today."

Christie also appeared to distance himself from the president, who said he felt better that he's felt in decades after getting treated with a different antibody cocktail for the virus.

"No one should be happy to get the virus and no one should be cavalier about being infected or infecting others," Christie said. "It is something to take very seriously. The ramifications are wildly random and potentially deadly.

He added that "as a former public official, I believe we have not treated Americans as adults, who understand truth, sacrifice and responsibility."

"When you have seven days in isolation in an ICU though, you have time to do a lot of thinking," Christie said, advocating that people "follow CDC guidelines in public no matter where you are and wear a mask to protect yourself and others."

"Every public official, regardless of party or position, should advocate for every American to wear a mask in public, appropriately socially distance and to wash your hands frequently every day. At the same time, we should be reopening in every corner of this nation under these guidelines," Christie said.

"I believe that these two steps can bring our country together while our pharmaceutical companies invent the therapeutics and vaccines which will rid us of this virus," he added.

"While we may seem very divided today, I do believe we can use this public health tragedy to bring us together. It is never too late to start," he said, but "It will take leadership that both challenges and trusts the American people."

What an absolutely classic Republican. Abortion bad (unless it’s my out of wedlock daughter). Gay marriage bad (unless it’s my gay son). Deficits bad (unless we control the executive and both legislative branches). COVID no big deal (until I spend time in the ICU with COVID). And just go look at the Biden vs. Trump thread.  Some of those naive fucks are going to fall for the trick hook, line and sinker the first time Ben Sasse or one of his ilk whispers sweet nothings into their ear about being “socially liberal and fiscally conservative”.

Someday, we might elect some good Christians, who have a sense of empathy, who want to help the poor, like all that stuff Jesus taught about.

Those people are too busy helping the poor and stuff to even think about running for office, and they lack the requisite narcissism of I know better than all of you.

Those people are shunned from the political establishment on #bothsides for very different, but ultimately related, reasons.

Here’s a nice new fun fact:

Republicans had higher death rate than Democrats during pandemic: Study

"Overall, the excess death rate for Republicans was 5.4 percentage points (pp), or 76%, higher than the excess death rate for Democrats," the study said. "The gap in excess death rates between Republicans and Democrats is concentrated in counties with low vaccination rates and only materializes after vaccines became widely available

kinda nice to have a tangible number. I am satisfied with the fact that I am 76% smarter than the average R, at a minimum
