The more you look at the timeline the more likely it appears the President was positive and capable of spreading COVID at Tues night's debate.
Whether he knew and went anyway is a big question. But certainly would help explain his crazy performance.
I've produced a possible alternative timeline below.
If the President was spreading the virus last Friday and Saturday, then it's almost certain he would have tested positive before the debate.
If the President was infectious starting last Friday, the number of people he could have infected is enormous, and we could be in the early stages of a major regional and national outbreak.
If we are in the early stages of a major national COVID event, the White House/HHS must tell us IMMEDIATELY and allow the impacted regions (incl DC/Congress/Fed govt) to take aggressive action to stop the spread.
Like back in Feb and March, you have one shot to catch an outbreak - in the earliest days. If you miss that window the damage (carnage) can be immense. I worry we have missed this window, as Trump/Meadows/Azar have hid all this from us. politico.com/news/2020/10/0…
I also wonder tonight about the Secret Service.
Are they worried that they may have allowed the VP to walk into a potentially life threatening event on Tuesday without adequate protection?
So, we have an answer - like how Trump handled the original outbreak in Feb/March, the White House and the US govt (@SecAzar) are doing nothing to contain the Coney Barrett outbreak. It's a shocking abrogation of responsibility. washingtonpost.com/health/white-h…
WH's refusal to take the necessary steps to contain the Coney Barrett outbreak is putting the entire Capitol region at risk of a dangerous COVID event.
Regional leaders need to step up and force the WH, Federal govt to get off their asses, get to work.
