Just a matter of time before it shows up in others who attended the 'Love Me-I Need Attention' rally.

You don't need to have symptoms to spread COVID19.... so it isn't too much of a stretch to assume that someone(s) at the rally had the virus and might be spreading it.

I keep hearing and reading these stories in the news. Locally, one family had a child’s party. 20 guests, 13 positive Covid cases. Most recently, another party in TX. 25 invited, 18 positive. One of them stopped in only for a few minutes! After hearing stories like this, I can’t imagine what 6200 together will do.

One of them stopped in only for a few minutes! After hearing stories like this, I can’t imagine what 6200 together will do. I know. I get why people think only people who are actively sick (look sick, or have symptoms, or who say they don't feel good - as in they feel sick) aren't able to spread the virus - cause that's what the "news" has been saying for months. And a lot of people get their news from the "entertainment presented as news" on many media outlets. But, really, you can have and be spreading the virus - even if you don't feel "sick". Was just reading a NYTimes article about the doctors (in 2 different areas who were NOT talking to each other) in Germany who documented the very high possibility that 'not actively sick' people could and did transmit the virus - back in February (for the record China also said something to the effect that it was very possible people with no symptoms were spreading the virus). And then there the cruise ships - where people kept getting sick even after "quarantining" or removing the actively sick people AND anyone who tested positive.... gee, I wonder why it keeps spreading on the boat? SARS doesn't work that way (and neither does MERS)... hmmmmmm.... something's different. I wonder what it could be? <-- rhetorical and sarcastic. Of course, it really came down to the WHO and Governments downplaying the information. I have to wonder... if we had a charismatic President who came out right away and asked the American People to work together to "defeat" the virus - to wear masks, to social distance, to stay home as much as possible, to limit contact with groups of people if we wouldn't have the number of dead in America...

My guess is the few minutes stop on the porch was actually at least 15 to 20minutes of talking plus the goodbye hug with one of the original infected people. What concerns me is not enough people realize it can spread by talking. No sneezing or coughing needed. Just talk face to face too close for too long, and then transmission accomplished.

A also read a good proportion of tRump’s Secret Service are either self isolating or quarantined due to exposure.
It makes me wonder what happens to Trump’s travel if he runs out of Secret Service staff?

Interesting article on asymptomatic silent spreaders. Likely that's what has happened at some of the birthday parties and other occasions. www.bbc.com/news/uk-52840763Somehow, despite having no symptoms and not feeling ill, the Chinese husband and wife had managed to spread the virus. Maybe they'd had it on their hands and touched the seats, maybe their breath carried the infection and it landed on a surface, it's not clear, but the implications were huge.
For Dr Lee, piecing everything together, there was only one possible explanation - that the virus was being passed by people who had it without even realising. This was a revelation that would be relevant the world over because the central message of all public health advice on coronavirus has always been to look out for symptoms in yourself and others.

It makes me wonder what happens to Trump’s travel if he runs out of Secret Service staff? Since there are SS in every state...I think he has a long way to go before running out of agents. Some may not be trained for protection...but they can get a super, duper, speedy course. They also handle all the counterfeit monies...that's why they are all over. I got a visit from them back when I was managing a drug store & we took in a bad $20. Needless to say, after that all bills other than $1s were tested with one of those pens. We had bad $5s & $10s in this area too back then.
