Let's review new developments in Trump's apparent new strategy of closing out election by attempting to infect as many people with COVID as possible....

First - pretty clear confirmation the President failed to follow Debate testing rules, lied about it:

So people did get sick from his day in MN 9 days ago... 9 cases so far, including 2 now in the hospital.

Why any state or locality would allow him to hold a rally now after what we've seen is a bit hard to understand...

As many feared, Coney Barrett may have exposed her kids to COVID while at the White House.

Reminder - every guest from IN that day, incl her family, violated DC health rules by not isolating for 14 days before venturing out.

Because it's not clear WH/Fed Govt is doing ANYTHING to stop Trump's growing outbreak which has now spread to WH, campaign, Senate, House, Pentagon, CA/MN/IN/NJ/OH, the DC govt has been forced to put up a free testing site outside the White House itself.
The President's ongoing reckless behavior is happening while COVID is making a significant comeback here in the US:

And yes the President is returning to the campaign trail without adhering to CDC guidelines about how COVID positive patient can ensure they are not infectious, and almost certainly not demanding masks and social distancing at his events again
End with my thread which tries to make sense of why the President has just refused to adhere to common sense COVID guidelines for all these months even after getting sick and infecting his family, friends, staff and important members of his government.....
A few more, now.....

Fauci called Coney Barrett event a "superspreader"

bbc.com/news/election-…
Like the White House, Graham and Senate GOP refusing to adhere to common sense COVID/public health protocols for their public appearances, including the Coney Barrett hearings this week and the SC debate last night......

axios.com/lindsey-graham…
On Friday the President told us he was getting tested for COVID but as of Sat morning we don't know the results, which of course means he is still positive for COVID.

Would also be good to know status of Pence, Barr and Pompeo. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Hope the DC govt is asking for guest list for today's WH event in advance, and confirming NONE OF THE GUESTS are coming from high risk states which require a 14 day quarantine. Coney Barrett had DOZENS of people who violated DC's quarantine requirements

Until the President's MD does just a full on television briefing with questions we have to assume Trump still has COVID, remains contagious.

It's critical that people thinking of attending Trump events be made aware how many Trump et al have infected.

politico.com/news/2020/10/0…
The event Pence did YESTERDAY in Florida would not be allowed in any other modern nation. Large gathering, no social distancing, lightly masked, almost all SENIORS.

WTF has happened to the GOP? They are ending the election by trying to kill people.

Trump/GOP's failure to do what was required on COVID, incl course correcting when it was clear their non-plan was KILLING PEOPLE, remains hard to understand, explain.

But a failure of this magnitude can keep a party from power for decades - see 1932.

Reminder that Trump pardoned right wing anti-government extremists who had been convicted for domestic terrorism and were in jail, serving time.

He released convicted terrorists from prison. Who does that?
We've had a series r/w terror plots, assassination attempts, murders this year - Las Vegas, Oakland, army private in Europe, Rittenhouse, now Michigan gov - and AG Barr has not held DOJ pressers announcing arrests, prosecutions for any of them.

It's a tacit sign of support.
Folks, this is a serious issue. Barr went to the DOJ press room repeatedly to invent a left wing terror threat which doesn't exist, but has never done the same for right wingers who've assassinated police, tried to kill US soldiers, kidnap Governors.

We all need to spend time in coming days on why Trumpworld has found it so difficult to fight the virus.

Yes, there was no federal response, but why did WH itself drop all CDC protocols? Why aren't they masking, isolating now? Why are the rules different for them?
Even after a virulent outbreak which has spread thru WH, campaign, Pentagon, Senate, House, CA/IN/NJ/OH and who knows where else, Trump, Pence, Meadows, Barr, Coney Barrett, Rudy still not isolating. Masking still appears optional. Why? Why can't they accept realities of COVID?
Their recklessness is endangering their closest aides, colleagues, family. Who would do that? Where does Meadows, for example, go at night? Who does he see? Dude was in hospital room w/Trump when POTUS had no mask on. He could be Corona Mary now. How can he still be working?

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....

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.

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.
