    Indeed. Biden has cancelled any of his campaign ads that are negative for the time being.
    Anyone who’s honest will admit that if the roles were reversed, trump would already be running around making fun of Biden for having caught the virus and painting him as a weak loser for having caught it, and his peeps would all be piling on sick Joe instead of rebuking the orange dotard for his total lack of class.

    I wasn't really making fun of him.

    He will look pale without his make up.

    What an arzehole! Still, better that Biden stays way above that crap, as he has. Me? Stuff you Humpty. Dr Karma is coming for you, maybe even the Grim Reaper. Ye reap what ye sow. I'll give you all the empathy and sympathy you deserve. God speed Melania.

    First off those "liberal stronghold" governors had no choice but to heap praise on Trump considering that is the only way to get the vain person to help at all. They spent awhile criticizing him and he sat on his you know what while ppl died. For their ppl they had no choice.

    As for the rest yes president could declare a national emergency thus authorizing plenty of things he can do

    Reopening he couldn't because the states were closed by the states thus they had to reopen them.

    Nonsense. We have the most deaths precisely because of trump and his deplorable response to the COVID-19 crisis.
    Our death rate should have been much, much lower if trump had led responsibly instead of thinking only about himself.
    Remember back when he was denying to allow passengers from a stricken cruise ship to come ashore simply because it would make ‘his numbers’ look worse?
    Remember 4 years ago to the day when trump was making fun of Hillary for having pneumonia and all his peeps were salivating and cheering like mindless hyenas? Check out the video of your orange dotard doing exactly that.

    You keep making excuses for a maggot of a man. You need to stop.

    You fallaciously alleged that happened in FEBRUARY!

    We CURRENTLY have have 213,000 OFFICIAL Covid deaths.

    We have another 60,000 ADDITIONAL deaths which are probably either UNDIAGNOSED or RELATED to the virus.

    We now KNOW that 20% of those INFECTED will have LIFE SHORTENING medical conditions REGARDLESS of the SEVERITY of their initial infection.

    20% of 7.5 million comes to 1.5 MILLION DEATHS that will be as a RESULT of having been INFECTED by Covid19.

    Add them all up and that comes to 1.8 million either already DEAD or going to DIE...

    ...and we are at LEAST six months away from a vaccine so you can add another 50% to those numbers bringing the total to 2.7 million Covid deaths.

    That could have been PREVENTED if your wannabe Fascist-in-Chief have done the JOB he was in the Oval office to perform.

    He needs to be CHARGED with Crimes Against Humanity for this AVOIDABLE death toll.

    I know this is Alice in Wonderland stuff but:

    Down here, if a parent neglects or fails to properly care for their child, and the child suffers as a consequence, said parent is for the high jump. Charged, just as they shoulds be.

    Luckily for him, he has the benefit of all the best treatments that science has discovered since the virus hit, so they are injecting him with antibodies instead of bleach.
    Survival rates now are much better than they were at the start of the pandemic because of that and trump is getting the most intensive medical care possible, so his chances of dying (assuming that he's not just pulling another stunt) are slim.
    We'll see how it plays out, but we are living in interesting times.

    Sad part is Trump id trying to get rid of the aca this causing protections for preexisting conditions to end. His executive order holds no weight in regards to that policy. Insurance will be able to deny you if you even have had this virus because it has shown long term effects.

    I wish all attendees at Barrett’s nomination ceremony had worn masks, and kept their distance.

    I wish our Covid19-in-chief would one day “lead by example”

    I wish his below average intelligent loyalists would stop cheering Trump’s nonsensical rhetoric, such as; Kong Flu.......NOT FUNNY!

    I wish his above average intelligent loyalists would stop being cowards, (silence can be deadly), thus, speak up about the importance of wearing masks and social distancing, and criticize those who believe Covid19 is a hoax/not worse than the common flu.

    Exactly.... Except I always figured it would be a full Trump resignation that would give Pence the power, but this temporary illness transfer would work just as well, without the stigma of resigning.

    As usual, that's not the purpose of the Section 3 of the 25th amendment, but since when does Trump care about what laws were meant to do?

    Everyone who tested positive attended Barrett’s nomination ceremony.

    NO MASK
    NO DISTANCING

    Plus soon-to-be-former Senator Thom Tillis, who is a full blown Trumpie, but I'm not sure there is any interaction with the primary Trump circles...

    It's almost like this virus spreads on it's own....

    Ironically 2 of those infected at that ceremony are GOP Senators who sit on the Judiciary committee considering the nomination of Barrett.

    One of them was subsequently shouting in the committee room without wearing a mask and as a result could have spread the infection to others on the committee.

    If the Senate Judiciary committee cannot get a quorum or a majority to move her nomination to the Senate floor because of these new cases that could stymie the nomination.

    Even if it does reach the floor with GOP Senators now infected does this mean that there might not be a majority to confirm?

    The Law of Unintended Consequences could in effect and this self inflicted spreading of the virus by those who REFUSE to wear masks and social distance could result in them stymying their own efforts to steal another SCrOTUS seat.

    There is another factor to consider which is that Barrett has previously had the virus thereby having a 20% chance of having some of the long term negative health effects thereby shortening her stay on the bench.

    We are in uncharted territory and refusing to listen to the experts and being in denial is turning out to be yet more evidence of Darwinian evolution that those that cannot adapt to a changing environment are less likely to survive.
