The CDC mandates that anyone who even just might have been exposed to someone infected with COVID-19 should “stay home” and “separate themselves from others.”
I bet all those who went to the rally are excited they might get the Covid-19 directly from Trump. Because Trump only gets the best and strongest viruses.
I’m not placing all the blame on Scott Atlas, but he is the biggest enabler of Trump and herd mentality. But then again Trump was already deep into the morass of heard mentality.
This is a disaster for the campaign, mostly on the Republican side. Lots of people on their side aren’t bothering to use masks or distance, they aren’t taking it seriously, so wherever this exposure started it will flow through a lot of people on the Republican side. Senators, Representatives, the Trump campaign…we’re about to see a lot of sick Republicans, at least the ones that are honest about being tested and having it. And, in serious cases it takes about a month for people to start dying…senior Republicans dying right before the election is a bad look for the party.
This will affect Democrats too, as the irresponsibility of the Republicans will cross over. Biden and his team being at the debate is only the most visible example of this. We’ll have to wait and see how badly it affect them too.
Trump should not have appeared at the shitshow debate, but maybe he wanted to expose Biden. It looks like they were more than 6 ft apart, but Trump was bellowing and probably blowing virus for 90 minutes. Motherfucker.
