I guess the first question, or maybe the only question, on everyone's mind is whether or not this is a stunt. Paging Dr. Kildare.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/01/politics/hope-hicks-positive-coronavirus/index.html

Then there was this comment: "Coronavirus tests positive for Donald Trump".

Seems to be on all the web sites so it appears to be real.

Let's wait and see what Dr. Fauci has to say. It could just be a couple of false positives. Wag the Dog.

What if after the disease is gone, a legislature grants its governor the right to restrict automobile usage to three days per week per car to reduce CO2 under the pretext that global warming requires extraordinary measure to maintain the planet's and people's health? Slopes have a way of being slippery.

What if congress gave the president the power to stop dangerous people at the border or deport them if they got in, he might slide down that slope and start doing it to women and children. Oh wait......

Are you confirming my point or refuting it?

This may show why countries like the US have suffered worse. Areas with higher populated centers, more international travelers, and more industry have higher rates. It's not necessarily a failure of government, medical systems or policy.

In Michigan at least, the governor cannot issue orders regarding Covid because the law granting her authority to declare a state of emergency is not constitutional according to Michigan's constitution. The original law gave the governor too much power. The Michigan Supreme Court said though she could not extend her edicts indefinitely as she did. So it falls back to their legislature and the governor to come up with a new joint plan or possibly use some other emergency powers they have.

That's probably from the Ukrainian fruit bat. Very virulent. I hope he's isolating.

Question for Alan K. Has your cult figured out yet how to blame Trump's infection on Obama or Hilary or Biden's son?

(Sorry, just having some fun.)

The latest is that they may release Trump as early as Monday. He got off lucky.

Assuming he had it to begin with.

The doctor admitted he didn’t say anything at the first briefing about the oxygen level drops to remain upbeat. He said once it was 94% and once 93%. I guess they need to chopper me over to Walter Reed. My oxygen levels are routinely at those levels and below. Is this going to be one of those amazing things like the cognitive assessment which confirmed he was conscious when he took it. Trump survives 93% oxygen level. Nobody has seen anything like it before.

* The White House Gift Shop is now a private business no longer officially associated with the White House. It began in 1946 as a non-profit benefit fund for the uniformed White House police officers and sold gifts inside the White House. The benefit fund went bankrupt in 2013 and its assets and trademark were transferred to the current owner.

No surprise. But $100? They are going to be worth a lot if he doesn't make it.

You know he's going to be incorrigible if he beats it with panache. All for the American people, of course.

My Apple Watch 6 shows I’m regularly at a range of 92 to 96 percentage blood oxygen and this is consistent to all my recent Drs visits ( I just went and checked my charts). And I have never had the Dr complain or suggest I had a problem. Just sayin.

Kayleigh McEnany tested positive. I don't wish her ill, but I hope this keeps her away from the press briefings for a while. A person can only take so much lying and deceit before giving up all hope for humanity.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/519632-mcenany-tests-positive-for-covid-19

Speaking of hope, is Hope Hicks still alive? She fell off the radar like everyone else once Trump tweeted out his test results.

Edit: Add two deputy press secretaries to the list of infected White House personnel.

Seems like Trump isn't the only one concerned about the economy.

(New York State-Democrat) Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Monday refused to allow New York City to close nonessential businesses in nine hot spots in Brooklyn and Queens where the coronavirus has spiked, pre-empting a plan announced the day before by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
