All things political. Coronavirus Edition. (3 Viewers)

I fear we are really going to be in a bad place due to the obvious cuts to the federal agencies that deal with infectious disease, but also the negative effect the Affordable Care act has had on non urban hospitals. Our front line defenses are ineffectual and our ability to treat the populous is probably at an all time low. Factor in the cost of healthcare and I can see our system crashing. What do you think about the politics of this virus?

True dat

Or even further back since symptoms don't show for 2-10 days and 5 on average.

Crazy but seemed inevitable. They just bucked the whole mask wearing and fell into false sense with the testing

Oh yeah. It was most definitely inevitable.

We should be clear that just speculating about whether the president has Covid is not the same as wishing he has Covid. It’s a matter of utmost national interest and it’s normal and reasonable to be engaged in that discussion.

Agreed

I bet being quarantined with Melania tonight must be fun after that tape was released of her complaining about immigrants and how she is trying to do the WH Xmas decorations.

Quickest one I could find, but I saw multiple tweets saying they knew she was positive Wednesday.

Perhaps, but they sleep in separate bedrooms.

I suspect their relationship isn’t much better on “normal” nights.

Reports are Wed night is when her test showed positive.

And now reports are she is definitely feeling effects. But that could be loss ot taste/smell to sore throat or other mild symptoms.

Just hope that it's mild. For everyone.

Guess we'll find out how well that HydroxyQ works soon enough

You can't quarantine on a plane if there are other people in it

 

[MT15]

Not with an airborne virus. But then again the CDC removed the fact that it’s airborne from their website after someone saw it and had a fit. So I’m sure it’s okay.

Air Force one has rooms.

 

[where yat brah]

Air Force one has rooms.

So she wore a space suit to get in and out of her room?

 

[MT15]

Air Force one has rooms.

With separate air supplies?

 

[Nebaghead]

With separate air supplies?

The filtration system works the same as a mask. Close proximity with no air being cleared out is the issue.
it is logistically possible but if she was in proximity to him all day, it is a moot point.

 

[MT15]

I still wouldnt feel comfortable, especially if she is symptomatic by then which could mean fever and coughing.

I mean, there’s a reason hospitals put Covid and suspected Covid patients in negative air flow rooms.

Marine One is more confined and they were definitely on board that vessel together.

For me, I've never wished Trump to get Covid. However, I wouldn't give two shirts if he did get it. In fact, I like presidents that don't get Covid-19, I hate to tell you....
