America in crisis. President Donald J. Trump got the coronavirus. Only a mere four weeks before the U.S. Elections, Trump and First Lady Melania both test positive for the coronavirus. |
Before I begin, I want to say that Blogger is really fucking up these last few weeks. I hate their new interface. I hate the way they've changed this to "accommodate" to the mobile. The whole thing needs to be reworked and totally revamped to make it easier for posts to come out smooth.
But who am I to say anything?
Oh, by the way.
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!
BLACK LIVES MATTER
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
Donald J. Trump may have cost himself the election. The news broke overnight. The 45th President of the United States, First Lady Melania Trump, White House Communications Advisor Hope Hicks, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence tested negative for the coronavirus.
GOP Chairwoman tested positive for the coronavirus. |
I’m happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID. Thank you to everyone for your messages of concern. I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash your hands.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 2, 2020
The irony of Trump downplaying the seriousness of the coronavirus. The White House confirms that he is having mild symptoms and is being treated through a combination of medications that isn't hydroxychloroquine. He is experiencing a mild fever, dry cough and headaches.
He hasn't posted on social media since.
Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19. Terrible! The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2020
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2020
Trump had went to his resort in New Jersey with Hicks. They were at a fundraiser. It's alleged that the White House knew Hicks was showing symptoms but didn't seem to care about it. Trump also held rallies in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio.
He also failed to notify Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden of the possible exposure to the coronavirus.
The New York Times said that Trump was already lethargic on the way back to the White House while on Air Force One. He also had fell asleep while on flight from Minnesota -- something that normally doesn't happen when Trump is energetic. He usually spends his time on social media tweeting and watching Fox News or OANN.
Amy Coney Barrett, the pick for the Supreme Court met with the Utah senator.
We now got word that Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway were tested positive for the coronavirus.
Trump has formally cancelled all rallies and fundraisers.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) one of the lawmakers who denied Barack Obama his third Supreme Court nominee tested positive for the coronavirus. He is with Trump's third nominee Amy Coney Barrett. |
Donald Trump will do everything he can to distract from the fact that because of his failed COVID-19 response:— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 2, 2020
- Over 200,000 Americans have died
- 26 million are on unemployment
- 1 in 6 small businesses risk permanent closure
We can’t let him.
Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 2, 2020
Mind you that the White House has lied numerous times about the coronavirus.
Biden did something presidential. He actually wished the president well. Something I would never expect Trump to do if Biden was tested positive for the coronavirus.
"I wanted to always play it down," Trump told The Washington Post columnist and author Bob Woodward that after learning of the risks to the U.S. of the virus earlier this year.
"I still like playing it down because I don't want to create a panic," the president told Woodward in March.
In keeping with his theme of downplaying the virus, Trump has repeatedly dismissed the value of wearing masks in his public statements and appearances despite health officials' recommendations that masks are essential to stem the spread of the virus.
In his stump speeches at recent airport rallies, attended by large crowds of several thousand supporters – most of them without masks.
Joe Biden continues to campaign. He tested negative. |
"Every time you see him, he's got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away from them, and he shows up with the biggest mask I've ever seen," Trump said at Tuesday's presidential debate with Biden in Cleveland, Ohio.
Questioned by moderator Chris Wallace, Trump said he wears a mask "when needed" but equivocated that even Dr Anthony S Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, had initially advised, "masks are not good" and "changed his mind" later.
Biden always wears a mask in public and has limited his few campaign events to small numbers of people observing local social distance requirements that Trump has flouted.
As he is speaking in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he once again wishes Trump well but continues to acknowledge that his failures to control the coronavirus has led to this.
We have over 240,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus. We have 8.5 million Americans infected by this.
Over 30 million Americans out of work.
Civil unrest in the country due to gun violence, police violence and systematic racism in the United States. The United States has seen its worst thanks to Trump's instigation of white supremacists.
Climate change is melting the glaciers. It's causing deadlier hurricanes, snowstorms, earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes and heatwaves.
Months of reckless behavior finally caught up with the president. Trump has failed to take control of the situation because he feared it would cost him the election. On top of that, Americans will have sympathy for him. A man who spent the first presidential debate being a total asshole will rise in the polls.
The White House had a 15 minute rapid test and it came out positive. Now the world's leading figure will be quarantined for two weeks to monitor his symptoms.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
16. Retail is now mandating workers and shoppers to wear facial protection. If you are continuing to not follow company policies when it comes to wearing facial protection, you can be banned from their establishment. Walmart, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Best Buy and other companies are now requiring facial protection in their businesses.
17. Have patience with those in the healthcare industry, service industry and law enforcement. They are operating at limited staff. Those who work at restaurants, casinos, media companies, landscaping, construction and first responders are working to serve and help you. But note, that they are putting themselves at risk as well of catching the coronavirus. Respect those who have to work in this. There are companies working on producing a vaccine. They will produce a vaccine that is safe and effective before usage. See 19.
18. Some hand sanitizers are considered dangerous to your health. Methanol-based hand sanitizer could be toxic to those with weaken immune systems or allergies. The Food and Drug Administration have warned of methanol contamination. Some products made in Mexico and China may be dangerous. There are some people ingesting hand sanitizer. See 19.
19. Please do not ingest or inject sanitizer, bleach or hydroxychloroquine into your body. There is no cure for the coronavirus. Scientists are working on creating a safe vaccine to treat the coronavirus.
20. Hold your state and federal lawmakers accountable for not taking the threat seriously. Donald J. Trump deliberately ignored the threat. In a series of audiotapes produced by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward, Trump was warned about the threat from the jump. He downplayed it because he didn't want to lose the trade deal and force Americans to take precautions. Now six months since declaring the pandemic we have over 225,000 dead and over 7.6 million infected. Republican lawmakers are trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and end the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act because of their stupid principles. It's important that you get go out and vote.
21. THE MASK DOESN'T IMPALE BREATHING! YOU CAN FUCKING BREATHE THROUGH A MASK! THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A MASK BEING A THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THOSE WEARING THEM PROPERLY. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THE MASK ABOVE YOUR NOSE AND COVER COMPLETELY YOUR CHIN.
22. YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID! MISINFORMATION IS PROBABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT COMES TO A PANDEMIC.
It will be a major catastrophe if Trump dies in office. Close to the election and this nonsense.
Do you believe President Trump has the coronavirus?
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
