So we are learning that just like the President knew how serious COVID would be, did nothing and let the virus spread uncontrollably, we may be in the midst of a similar DC/national outbreak now that he knew about, kept quiet, allowed to spread and it is taking off.
The DC govt, @MayorBowser needs to holding a press conference today, now, explaining what the plan is to contain the spread of what could be a massive outbreak.
We are seeing 2nd order vectors - Indiana, Ohio, the campaign/RNC, US Senate - this thing has already spread.
There is legit reason to believe the President knew he was positive and was infectious on Tuesday. His crazy debate performance; Melania wearing a mask into the debate hall; that 11 people in Cleveland who were involved in the debate are COVID positive. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/1…
It is literally unbelievable given how many lives are at stake here the Administration isn't being straight with us.
And doesn't the WH/Secret Service/Intel community have an obligation to inform Biden of potential threats to his life?
Severity of President's symptoms suggest infection is not recent. Poss timeline:
Fri week ago - POTUS infects RNC Chair
Sat - POTUS infects many at ACB event
Mon/Tue - POTUS infects campaign staff, Hicks, Cleveland workers
Thur - POTUS symptomatic
Likely 1st pos test Mon/Tue.
Know there's a lot going- but hope someone is working on whether the President has caused a new and serious national COVID outbreak, and whether anyone is doing anything (@SecAzar @MayorBowser) to stop its spread.
We now have cases in DC, IN, MI, NJ, OH....
