The COVID story that matters isn't the health of the painted man in the WH - it's about the ongoing, relentless failure of Trump to protect the American people.

COVID rates are rising, he himself has spread COVID across the US - it's madness.

It is critical that we get a straight answer today about what is happening to all those who have been in close proximity to Trump in recent days - did they have protective gear on? Are they quarantining?

Will anyone be allowed in the same room w/him at the WH?
We also need to understand:

Is WH working w/DC-MD-VA to contact trace their outbreak?

Why aren't folks like Pence, Barr, ACB Meadows isolating as the CDC requires?

Just like w/the nation itself, not clear WH has ANY plan to stop spread it caused.

Other topic we must address today is whether the President is acting mad, is not right of mind. 1/3 of those with COVID have altered mental states, drugs he's taking can also have significant impact on cognition.

And he's saying and doing crazy things.

Yes, we already knew the President didn't care if Americans lived or died. But now his staff, his top supporters and his family know he doesn't care about their lives either.

It's very likely we get a public on the record protest fr a senior staffer soon.

Recapping a few things in a short thread......

First, Rudy was out in NYC last night at a largely maskless event, ignoring CDC isolation guidelines, potentially spreading the virus.

TeamTrump's disregard of common sense protocols core to this story.

Have to see Trump/WH in unique position to create massive spread in DC, nation - no masks/social distancing/isolation/big crowds/travel/many events/WH itself like train station.

It was WEEKS of super spreading with nothing done to stop the spread.....

ndn.org/blog/2020/10/p…
DC region should be looking at far more aggressive measures to stop a potentially significant unchecked outbreak...

Implementing 2-3 week mandatory work-from-home for US govt, WH, Congress should be on the table....

So we think Trump came home tonight to try to step on @joebiden’s NBC townhall?

It is starting now.
VP @JoeBiden is doing a great job at the NBC townhall.
These are the best @JoeBiden moments I’ve ever seen.

Hope millions are watching. Seeing a smart, experienced, passionate patriot tonight - and our next President.

That Trump/Meadows haven't initiated any kind of contract tracing/isolation regime for the big outbreak the WH/President has caused months into the pandemic is a terrible reminder of just how inept, reckless and dangerous this team has been.

They've just allowed people to die.
In NJ the RNC is not fully cooperating w/state health officials, making it harder to contact trace and contain the virus.

The state is also investigating what appear to be clear serious COVID restriction violations by Trump and the RNC. (Thread).

Not going to retweet the video but the President has COVID and should be isolating for at least 14 days.

WTF he is doing? He’s already caused all sorts of people to be infected. Why he is endangering his staff, others near him?

We are deep into Mad King territory here.
So is the headline in all the papers tomorrow going to be:

“President recklessly leaves isolation, endangers dozens around him at hospital”

What other sick COVID patient in a hospital anywhere can just go take walks around, go visit people?

How crazy is this?
Many folks on my feed wondering with the drugs he's been taking could be affecting hid judgement......need more on that.....

cc Mike Pence, Mark Meadows

You boy is out there doing crazy shit. Help.

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.

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…
