Governor Cooper was apparently laughing too hard to register a comment, but signaled “TP” via hand signs. I’m guessing thoughts and prayers, but who really knows?

I hope they map the spread of the virus from RNC related events, just to show how many people the GOP infected in purpose.

Contact tracing in general is underfunded and discouraged by this bunch on purpose, maybe they will step it up in this case.

It’s also has to be hard when the people who are tasked with contact tracing are tracing people not from the area, or state. So who has jurisdiction over some one from Wyoming, or Arizona?

I’m lazy (so I’ll look later), but when they downsized the convention, the delegates were given key card badges (?) that were supposed to monitor their whereabouts.

TPM’s story already said that they ditched the masks, so the question is, did they bin the key cards?

If so…

Just wait a couple more days for the Revenge of the Hatch Act. A normal President would be humiliated for endangering the lives of his guests, but we have a monster in the Oval Office.

We also have a BOGO scenario, Fort McHenry and Melania’s speech happened this week.

Were the keycards used to pay for free drinks and/or hookers?
