Trump aide Hope Hicks has Covid - Update Trump Tests Positive

...and she travels with Trump.

Top Trump aide Hope Hicks tests positive for coronavirus after traveling with president to debate​

...Hicks, who has been known to spend a lot of time with Trump, had traveled with the president to the debate Tuesday night in Cleveland. She was seen not wearing a mask.

Trump, 74, himself rarely wears a mask and has mocked his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, 77, for often wearing face coverings.

The White House didn’t comment on reports that Hicks had tested positive, but a spokesman issued a statement about the administration’s Covid-19 protocols.

Seriously...he's been tempting fate for a long time now. I'm not hoping she gave it to him, but it wouldn't surprise me at this point either.

Biden is playing it smart, while making a point.

Joe Biden’s campaign said Saturday it will now disclose the result of every coronavirus test the candidate takes, following increased pressure for more transparency after President Trump recently tested positive for the virus and Vice President Pence has released results for two consecutive days.

“We have adhered to strict and extensive safety practices recommended by public health experts and doctors in all of our campaigning — including social distancing, mask wearing, and additional safeguards,” campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement. “Vice President Biden is being tested regularly, and we will be releasing the results of each test.”

Man. I knew there was something I forgot to do when renovating my copy of "this old house". Two mirrors on the dining room wall. I can usually get by with the answer from just one mirror though, when as the Evil Queen before breakfast, I ask that old question from the Snow White fairy tale.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?​
​
Oh, wait. I get it. That's the backup mirror, for when the first mirror gets uppity and goes against me.

Imma shop at Amazon right now to fix.that.right.up.

No, I will not wish Donald Trump well

I only wish for his convincing defeat on November 3 – nothing more, or less.

Brilliant piece, and thanks for sharing.

As commentators on Twitter (and in the Guardian/Observer) have remarked, the decency is so asymmetrical; Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the Clintons have all courteously wished Mr Trump well, former VP Biden has pulled his attack ads, yet Donal Trump lies and gaslights, neglects to notify his challenger that some in his circle (and possible himself) had tested positive for Covid-19 at the time of the presidential debate last Tuesday, while his loathsome son - the day after the debate - attacked Joe Biden's son, Hunter, (on the Glenn Beck programme) referring to him as "crackhead Hunter"; these people have neither pity nor morals, let alone empathy or ethics.

So I'm hearing trump had a couple of lower O2s like lower 90s, brought back up by way of a short round oxygen - but I also read he had dropped even lower than that, and there was a steroid treatment, which sounds way more concerning than a little 4-5 point drop.

While I have mild COPD (I quit smoking a long time ago and hope to have a normal lifespan as a result) I also watched my dad (who refused to quit and died in his late 70s) go through all the stages of oxygen depravation, so I can speak to this.

As long as it's above 94% you're usually okay, a respiratory therapist prefers to see it above 96% but if it drops below that for any amount of time it will raise alarms. Also, when monitoring they'll often try to get you to move around (just walking for example) to get it while you're active, as opposed to just sitting at rest. Even with my condition I average between 97% and 99% on average.

The main concern is not that it causes breathing issues (although shortness of breath is always a concern) it's that it deprives all of your organs the necessary oxygen to sustain themselves. So you could end up with liver, kidney or heart issues as a result and I'm guessing the doctors are watching all of these things very closely, it's hard to imagine they would let him leave under these circumstances.

Holy hell, the suggestion he might "Be leaving by Monday ...", sounds __insane__.
