You're telling me he's a danger to other people? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell ya!

Thank God Biden has tested negative. His entire team needs N95 masks at all times

Ah well that clears it up. He’s dead

The extent to which they don't even *try* to make their lies sound believable will never cease to amaze.

It's a demonstration of power.

They're saying to everyone who isn't part of their cult "See, not only do we not care what you think, we don't even need to pretend to care about what you think. You're powerless and we can do whatever we want."

And to those who are aligned with them (no matter how reluctantly), it's putting them in line. "We're going to say absolutely untrue nonsense, that we and you both know is false and nonsense. And you're going to repeat it and agree with it. That will demonstrate your loyalty and submission, and will alienate you from those who aren't part of the cult."

TRUMP WASN'T TESTED BEFORE THE DEBATE!!!


Team Biden should spread this story, among others around to gradually reduce any remaining faith in Trump among independents and undecideds (see: brain damaged)

As I said earlier, Trump might go down in the polls rather than having a bump for potentially spreading the virus himself. This just emphasized the point he only cares for himself. Imagine if he was responsible for infecting Joe Biden.

Now I really do hope Uncle Joe and Kamala are super careful. They must be protected from this virus at all cost.

I'm pretty sure he's fine, they have to make it seem bad so his inevitable "recovery" looks far more triumphant in the public eye.

I'm glad to hear that the Bidens, Barrett, and Trump's children did not contract the virus-although I see that Sen. Lee of Utah has. Let's see what happens as this continues to progress.

If the story spreads, this will erode the sympathy boost Trump would have received. Sympathy dwindles when you put the other candidate at risk.

It's fine. They were really far away from one another at the only point that Joe was maskless.

The thing is that until today I haven't seen Joe wearing an N95 mask. My understanding is that a cloth or surgical mask will block most (90%+) of the droplets/particles you emit but it will only provide 50-75% protection for you. Of course that's much better than nothing, but an N95 is better since it provides 95% protection from airborne particles. I think it would be good practice for him to start wearing N95 masks like the one in the picture today. There are higher grades of mask he could choose if he wanted even better protection (N99, N100)

Trump is considering undergoing experimental treatments. Definitely don't think this is as mild as he wants us to think

To use a certain Georgia senator's favorite analogy, that's like agreeing to an honor system with Attila the Hun.

Attila the Hun kept his end of the peace treaty with the Romans. When the Romans broke THEIR end (not returning all Hun refugees fleeing Attila back to Attila as Rome had promised), he was pretty ruthless in exacting retribution, though. And, to be fair, he was basically just WAITING for the Romans to break that very difficult to enforce part of the agreement as a justification to attack.

Late antiquity is definitely my weak point in terms of historical knowledge, haha
