So Some Dude Who Tested Positive For Covid-19 Was Walking Around White House With No Mask For Days

Someone remind me how this works?

If dude is spreading the virus Everywhere, then Everyone can get it and spread it like it is, well, a pandemic.

Welcome to our world Trump.

The difference is "we" can't get tested every 5 minutes, with all of our friends.

Now I know why I can't get tested. All the test kits are being hoarded by the White House, just in case.....

And remember, if indeed that steward worked IN the White House, all the way up to actually serving actual meals to trump, then that same steward was in close proximity to anyone between the White House kitchens and the Oval AND/OR living quarters. And then, who did THOSE folks, in turn, come into contact with?

SUCH mixed feelings about this.

Now, if trump somehow evades the virus, then I'm really gonna get seriously worried that maybe he actually IS the Antichrist...

Chump always looks like he just rolled out of bed, rumpled and sloppy. He's reached the point where they should put darts (the tailoring kind) in his suit jackets because his manboobs are getting so big that the top of his jackets don't fit correctly. There are simply no words for his suit pants or his golf attire either.

He really is an embarrassment, especially when he's standing with Pence, Fauci, Trudeau, and other fit men who wear a suit quite nicely.

If he is around dozens of employees who are not wearing masks who might be carrying the virus who leave the WH every day and might contract it, how can they be sure that they aren't going to get infected the next time they come in contact with a carrier? There are no guarantees if they are taking every precaution.

You are coming into contact with every person that the person you work with has come in contact with in the past 24 hours. Are they testing daily and would they show up postive right away even if they had been infected or would it take some time before a test could detect it?

“The current planetary position in the horoscope of the POTUS, especially the prolonged stay of planet Venus under the affliction of natal Rahu, Ketu and the 12th lord Moon doesn't augur well for him. As Venus rules the third house in addition to his actions being misinterpreted or back firing, his health also becomes vulnerable. Severe issues related to breathing or respiratory system can cause problems. Whenever Venus is severely afflicted the comfort level of the native is compromised howsoever highly-placed he/she may be.” - K Rajesh Chaudhary

but you're right, they might have overlooked a valet or cut corners and only tested him weekly. Since he's tested positive, I sincerely hope the latter is the case.

No, I'm not wishing ill on the staff, most of whom are from other agencies and are stuck working with these criminals, I just want the lot of them to get a real reality check, one that won't bounce.

Most likely Putin's Pet Piggy has gotten a prototype vaccine of some sort, along with his idiot daughter and her nitwit husband. It's never going to be real for any of those assholes. It just needs to get real for the yes men.

Last edited Thu May 7, 2020, 06:45 PM - Edit history (1)

was weekly, but now Trump has ordered it to be done daily on all WH staff.

But, even daily testing is not enough protection. Someone can carry the virus without a sufficient enough amount to show up in testing. It takes time for it to multiply in the body.

The negative tests for Trump and Pence do not mean they didn't pick up the virus. False negative results happen fairly often, especially in the early stage, before the virus has had time to multiply. One estimate is that up to 30% of negative test results can be false.

But, I would advise Donnie Death not to worry. If it's just a hoax, there's nothing to worry about. If he wants to play it safe and protect himself, he should try a few spoonfuls of liquid Lysol, twice daily.
