Yes, DD works at SBUX, and they have a similarly inconsistent, put your head in the sand policy. I don't remember what it is, but DD was initially told, if she was exposed, but did not have symptoms, to come to work. She went and got tested anyways. She now has 2 coworkers out, one has a DH that has Covid 19, and the other one was exposed somehow. DD is still working, b.c she had not worked with either in over a week (She also has been tested 3X over the summer, including about 2 weeks ago. She did tell me though, that if she wanted a test through SBUX, they will pay for it. She is also on Furlough from Delta, and said she can get free testing through Delta. I think her testing is going through our insurance - her deductible was met earlier this year from other issues, and since she is over 18, I can only see what our responsibility is for her claims, not what they were for or who she saw.

So you’re glad he got it and exposed it to potentially many people? You really think he’s going to change his ways now that he had it? If you had it with symptoms you probably wouldn’t feel that way. I am sorry he exposed his handlers, but the fact that 200,000 people died due to a ‘hoax’, the fact that the CDC has desperately been making recommendations that fell on deaf ears, the fact that *most* of us have been dealing with this WITHOUT HIS TESTING AND MEDICAL SUPPORT infuriates me. He has had EVERY advantage that no one else has, flouted them and gotten snagged. Maybe he will see what happens when you get snagged like the other 7 million people in the US. He didn’t give a shit about them, did he? Agree it’s infuriating and I couldn’t think less of the person as a human being. It’s just my first thought when he got it was with White House staff, secret service, any other person with contact with him and their families. There probably was a feeling of being safe inside the bubble with constant testing so I highly doubt social distancing was well observed.

Those are the people I really felt sorry for, and the fact that Trump flouted recommendations put THEIR lives at risk too. I have been reading what Britain is doing to keep Queen Elizabeth safe, and then see Trump at rallies of unmasked, packed in people and think that regardless of how many times he’s tested, he is playing with other’s lives. Everyone has said testing is not the single panacea to controlling spread. It just happened to be the one tool that was less disruptive to his life. Masks and social distancing were too much bother.

I don't think it is fake. but I hope he survives. I want him beat in a fair fight. I want his idiocy voted out. My MIL believes it is fake if he recovers - it was fake So I said: what if he dies? She said: it is what it is and only then she will believe it. One of the first things I saw on Twitter last night after the announcement was that Trump is going to fake his death like Hitler and Russia is letting him defect there to avoid prosecution. So, if he dies? People will say he really didn't and is in Russia?

Trump just tweeted that both he & the First Nude Model have tested POSITIVE for Covid 19.
32 days until election day.
Are we sure he didn't get someone to take the test for him? It wouldn't be the first time.....

Unlikely this is a hoax.

So Republican Senator Mike Lee tested positive
Does that mean no Supreme Court confirmation before elections?
RBG girlfriend, keep making your case to God!

Is there a "dumbass" clause in the 25th amendment? If not, anyone want to suggest language for such a clause?

Considering it was the military doctor and not the crazy doctor that put out the statement, I'm less incline to believe it's a hoax. I wouldn't think he'd be in on it, so they would have had to give the guy false positive tests and such. The military doctor chopped 50 lbs off his weight easily. Really? I obviously don't pay enough attention to all of trump's goings on. Can barely stand the highlights I get so I think I missed that. Yikes.

CNN is reporting that the White House says "Trump is experiencing 'mild symptoms'."
You know he's whining like a little bitch.

You think they would tell us if he is hypoxic? Will be interesting to see when he shows up on TV. If he doesn't, he is likely sicker than they will admit.

I have a friend that lives where his rally was supposed to be tomorrow. Well, I live close to it too but he's closer. Said he heard something about it going virtual. So that would be a good indicator if it does go virtual.
Though then I had images of trump live from his bed!

Yikes. Yep reported Trump is 243 lbs at his height and weight. My cousin is 6’3 and 290 lbs and looks way better than Trump (yes everyone carries their weight differently). Also Trump is lying about his height; so everyone figured he made the Dr take up 50-70 lbs easily.

I still think trump (and the others) are faking it. His "mild case" and certain recovery (and I suspect all the others will also have "mild cases" and quick recoveries) is just what his base needs to hear/see.
It's a useful tool to increase the odds that he will be re-elected.
conspiracy theories aren't anything new. In the past, I would pooh pooh "conspiracy" theories about politicians and/or the way votes would go .. since they were more or less based on subtle and sort of unlikely things.
trump is just so in your face with what he says and does - I don't see how this, something that could so blatantly and so easily be used to his advantage, isn't a hoax.
It's got all the hallmarks of something that would fit into trump's mode of operation.
When I see his corpse I'll believe he had Covid19.

Carried it well but ugh. Now I’m 205 so have an idea about what size Trump might be based on my own history. After seeing that one tennis rear shot photo I’m thinking he is 6’1” and 314.Plenty of solid blubber under those Ill fitting suits and too long ties.

Exactly what I thought when I heard it on the radio news this AM. The timing is too perfect. And, look now the country (world?) is talking about it vs. Tuesday's debate disaster. Political game play 101.

Then if I root for him to die it won’t matter because he is hoaxing us? Ok.

We should hold a televised modified Viking send off: put his naked butt on a pyre on a boat, light the fire and send him down the sewer. The devil can pick him up from there to take him to where he belongs (unless the devil fears the competion/whining in which case he can stay in the sewer for all eternity).

On the news they mentioned it's probably not good if you see marine 1 land at the white house in the next two weeks ish. And it's bad if it then goes to whatever that hospital is - walter reed maybe?

For my dad, it meant that he was called into alert, for immediate action if necessary. It happened several times, and I seriously doubt that SAC would be put into this position without a possible issue. Most times, he just hung around the barracks waiting for action. If you got called in, even if you were on vacation, you needed to get your ass back to the base ASAP. For the general public, most don’t even know it happens. The impact is only on the squadron, and the families of said military members.
