I love how its the most insane, reich-wing GOP'ers who are coming down with this.

Karma is a b****.

When you get everything manufactured from Philippines, China and Japan, you are bound to get another plague, we had the bird flu in 2010. Sports and Nike is made in China and automobiles is made in Japan and Cell phones are Samsung and so are TVs, made in East Asian countries

Dont be fcking racist.

Is that John Roberts at the Rose Garden event?

I pray to God that Roberts didn't contract it-although that is a likelihood at this point. That would be a disaster if the Chief Justice of the United States also caught it-and especially at this juncture.

This isn't John Roberts.

I've acknowledged that here:

Might be John Boozman.  They have a similar look from the side.

That's interesting to know. If so, that would mean another U.S. Senator could potentially be at risk from it.

There's a very good chance some senate Democrats start getting it. This could be a real problem if it reaches one the older senators (Inhofe, Shelby, Feinstein, Grassley), but thus far, most of the senators who have contracted it seem to be in relatively ok health, though as always, you never know how one will react to this virus.

Reminder that GOP Senators still meet in person on the regular.

It's the same thing that led to that outbreak early in the summer that infected a number of GOP Senators.

TBH, its a miracle that none of the Senate's octogenarians have been infected yet, but I fear its only a matter of time, especially if Mitch keeps pushing them to gather in a small, poorly ventilated chamber to vet ACB next week.

Sen. Ron Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[SInNYC]

He already said that the reason he got it was that he meets with soldiers and police who he cant distance from since they all love him and want to hug and kiss him:

So, no. If he recovers it will be his superior genes and health, not the fact that he has the best treatment in the country.

If I had a nickel for every GOP senator that has tested positive for COVID-19, I would have 15 cents, which isn't a lot, but still more than you would expect

“Trump is incapacitated and republicans lose their senate majority because they all went to a maskless high-five party to celebrate ramming an October SCOTUS nominee into RBG’s seat” sounds like Democratic fanfiction lmao

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

He got a cutting edge treatment which seems like they are possibly worried about his health or know something we don't about this cocktail treatment's effectiveness and safety.

Assuming you're referring to the antibody treatment, there's zero reason to doubt its safety, just whether it'll be effective.

Mr. Trump is not capable of doing so. Even if he regrets something in his mind now, he will never stand in public and admit a mistake or apologize. It will never cross is mouth. If he gets out of hospital, he will pretend everything is fine.

Indeed. While I hope this blocks SCOTUS vote before the election, I can't feel any sense of joy. Are Trump and these GOP senators guilty of the entire situation with the pandemic? Yes, and they deserve a lot of blame at the ballot box. Do they deserve getting ill by this virus? Nah, of course not. But maybe it helps raising awareness to a certain segment of society that this disease is serious.
