This is a true story I've been holding until after the election.

In August I was contacted by a nationally well respected journalist. You know this person. The journalist had received a tip from someone associated with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philly.
The tip was that Joe Biden was going to TJUH and getting laser treatment on his brain, probably for neuropathy, and was returning to get MRIs done to check the progress of the treatment.

TJUH is where Beau Biden was treated and also where Joe's son in law practiced.
Since I live near Philly, the journalist asked that I go up to TJUH and ask around. TJUH is a sprawling hospital campus, where this type of treatment could take place in any of three buildings. I did my best but was unable to find a second source.
If Biden was getting this treatment, it occurred to me he might be going in the off hours so as to avoid detection. Yes, I staked out two of the buildings in the wee AM hours. It was actually too big a job for a single person bc there are several entrances to cover.
I'm revealing this now for three reasons:
1. Others might have information that I was unable to find.
2. If the left had this tip on Trump, it would have leaked, he would have been asked about it, & Rachel Maddow would do a month's worth of shows, all premised with the word IF.
3. I want people to know how much discipline it takes for a good journalist to only have a single source on such a potentially huge story & just eat the whole thing. I completely respect this journalist for not creating a Steele Dossier type circus w/out having a 2nd source.

Biden Claim: it was he that suggested we send people into China at the outset of the virus and that we did not do that.

Fact Check: Biden gets a FULL GRUBER for this claim. The Trump Admin made several efforts from the outset to get scientists into China.

Trump brought up Biden Advisor Ron Klain last night. Klain said the Obama response to H1N1 was "luck." Here's exactly what he said:
Klain is now a Biden advisor regarding COVID-19. Here's what he's said with regard to COVID. It can all be found on my Ultimate COVID-19 Timeline. Search for KLAIN.

Regarding the Trump shutdown of China travel to the US, Klain said it was "probably too late."

Fauci testified that this shutdown saved American lives.

Re-listening to Trump audio w/Woodward. Trump said death rate was 5% & "it goes through the air" (which is diff than "airborne").

Both facts were public knowledge at the time. China had announced Wuhan had a 4.9% CFR & coronavirus was known to spread via respiratory droplets.
Trump reveals no special knowledge in this comment. The 5% CFR and coronavirus spread via "the air" were both publicly known. The fact the media is blowing this up into such a controversy is dishonest at best, criminal at worst. And Woodward knows this. That's why he waited.
In fact, here's NBC News on 1/24 explaining how the virus spreads.

Hey Cuomo, stop whining abt 3m "on a plane." In early March you allowed over 7m/day to use NYC mass trans. If you had shut down NYC subways & buses in early March, the virus would have been much better contained. Image
The timeline does not lie, Cuomo. Here you are in early March, displaying your full arrogance. Image
And here you are not even 3 weeks later, finally shutting down non-essential businesses, but only after millions and millions had already spread the virus via mass transportation. Image
