The irony is now the mods are going to have several 10k posts/day threads to monitor instead of just one. Also, they better not stop investigating Trump's crimes just because he dies.

Is there a running list of confirmed positives?

Amy Barrett reception aside, I feel like it has to be everyone who is part of his traveling team thats hosed, right? Sitting on a plane for hours with several infected people is the kiss of death.

Sitting on a plane for hours with several infected people is the kiss of death. How many times over the course of the year has this happened with no major consequences though? Seems like dozens of AF1 flights have ended up revealing that someone or other was positive/asymptomatic during the flight and everyone was incredibly fine. Then you get one Rose Garden party and someone coughs juuuuuust right and loving everybody drops like a rock No wonder he thought he was invincible and/or covid was fake, come to think of it

lol at Trump’s vitals being textbook numbers. of course the obese man in his 70s on BP medicine has a BP of 120/80, the max BP you can have without having high blood pressure.

I still think it’s probable that Trump was already infected and was the super spreader at the ACB nomination event.

Sitting on a plane for hours with several infected people is the kiss of death. I don't know what you mean, there's no danger in sharing an enclosed place with circulating air with multiple people infected with a highly spreadable disease who actively refuse even the most base preventative measures as some kind of culture war bullshit!

For months I've been explaining to my students that the pandemic is going to move like a spark into dry tinder. If you take basic precautions and keep your fuel wet and not piled up, when a spark lands you can control it more easily. If you don't bother and have a pile of dry tinder, you might not get a spark for a while. But when one lands the whole thing goes up in flames. That's pretty much what's going on right now, the top GOP leadership made themselves very vulnerable and now there's a huge outbreak. Given the timeline and refusal of a bunch of officials (Barr, notably) to quarantine, we're going to have a bunch more big names come up positive over the next few days to a week. This is just the beginning. Next week will be when Donnie gets super sick or turns the corner and begins recovering, and also when we'll see a bunch more GOP officials come up positive.

Seems like dozens of AF1 flights have ended up revealing that someone or other was positive/asymptomatic during the flight and everyone was incredibly fine. well, they seemed to take things more seriously earlier in the outbreak - at least consistently doing rapid tests - but in the last few weeks as the second wave has started they've also been traveling a lot more and more random people are joining the campaign at events, at a same time when their protocols apparently became more lax

Pick posted:Which Republican senators trigger a special election if they die? States that have zero governor replacement of senators are North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Rhode Island. Every other state allows a governor to either appoint someone until the special election takes place or the next statewide general election takes place.

Grouchio posted:What comorbidities does he have again? For posterity. Old, male, obese, heart disease to some degree are the big ones. Sedentary, poor diet, likely drug use are going to contribute as well. There is some evidence that exposure to common cold coronaviruses has limited protection for SARS-CoV-2, so his germophobia might actually come back to hurt him if he hasn't gotten a cold in the last couple years. Also he's low income lol. (not my joke)
