Time to contact trace. I wonder where he and the First Lady got it. Unless there's info on that somewhere already.

That's the current theory, yes. She was the first one to show symptoms.

EDIT ; the GOP was aware she was COVID positive yesterday morning, so the theory is that he was also COVID positive but wasn't tested until later. So it could mean he was spreading it while at his rally yesterday.

In other news, fellow Canadians, keep your eyes out for this one (fake hand sanitizer) ;

The fake product has a black & white label (real one is colour) and is a 1L bottle (real one is 3.78L).

Well Trump just tested positive

2020 is the gift curse that just keeps on giving.  During an election year too!   Wonder what other nuggets of chaos this year has in store for us.

I read we have an Asteroid rocketing at the Earth. We should see it at the beginning of November.

There’s also probably more who are infected working at the White House. Curious to see how this will develop.

Well from a national security standpoint this is probably going to be a shit show. You have multiple high level people in the administration who have tested positive (people who hate wearing masks) so you can pretty much count on there being a high probability that multiple other high level people in the administration have been exposed and are just in the incubation period. This is going to be far outside the scope of employees in the White House and will probably go into high level employees of the military and other branches of the government depending on how many people he's had meetings with over the past week and then who THOSE people have had meetings with.

 

Like you said, definitely curious as to how this will play out.

Surprise, surprise.

People traveling internationally during a pandemic seems like it would be the worst thing for stopping the spread. It doesn’t seem like a study was necessary, but I’m not surprised those were the findings in the end.

Also, how are the presidential debates going to be conducted because of his diagnosis now? There’s still two more right? Maybe Trump can do it through a Zoom call. Don’t think that’s allowed though. I’m at a loss at this point.

It's more serious than that, even. His campaign manager has the virus; the RNC chairwoman has it; and there's a chance other advisers and staff members have it. This basically up-ended Trump's campaign.

[Donut417]

The Michigan Supreme court just over threw our Governors Executive orders. So, likely our cases will go up. 

[WkdPaul]

A lot of staff around Trump got positive result ;

11 prep staff and 3 White House journalists. Plus all the other top members around Trump.

It's sad that we had to research this ...

Close everything, back at the drawing board. Worst day since the pandemic started.

I know we're posting mostly Canadian link recently, sorry about that, it's just how my personal news alerts are set ! (I'm guessing it's similar to the other Canadians in this thread  )

 

Feel free to post your local or worldwide news links in relation to COVID.

Meanwhile in the US, "it's only 200,000 deaths". 

 

Our customers are still wearing masks but we keep getting more red-hats coming in and walking around only to leave without a hello or question.

We also don't have rules on masks, so a few protestors were wearing halloween masks, because the law doesn't specify what mask to wear, only that you have to wear one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Also, this type of argument is wrong on so many levels ;

Quote

We don’t ban cars because people die in car accidents

Yeah, cars are dangerous, that's why you need a license to drive one, that's why there are rules and laws surrounding them, and that's why wearing your seat belt is mandatory ... Like mask wearing during a pandemic...

Italy freaks out for 1,000 new cases. Wearing masks here is law, but we do have our Karens

The security guard is packing some serious meat lol

I was wrong in my previous post. Michigan’s executive orders became null and void as of last Friday. So we are now 100% open. Things are going to get interesting . 
 

On a second note I wonder how many business will enforce make?
