We only know 1 incontrovertible fact about Dear Leader’s Covid-19 case: At about 6:30pm EST yesterday he was admitted to the hospital.
There are a lot of other bits of data that we think we know, but, given the vagueness, errors and opaqueness of the people who should be keeping us updated, just about everything else is open to question — not least because many of the people who are giving us information have a history of lying, prevarication, quibbling and obfuscation.
I’ve never heard of anyone progressing from tested negative to tested positive to hospitalized with symptoms in 48 hours, but we are supposed to believe this is what has happened to Orange Julius…. but also that he is ‘doing fine’ and is rarin’ to go.
We can see that the Saturday Supreme Court nominee introduction was a ‘super-spreader event’, but can’t tell if tRump got infected or was the super-spreader himself at that event.
We have been told that Kellyanne Conway, Hope Hicks and Chris Christie were all deeply involved in doing what passed for debate practice in the White House Map Room with tRump for hours and hours in the past couple of weeks… and they have all tested positive in the past few days. Mark Meadows and Rudy Guliani were also in that practice in that closed room for hours and hours…. how soon will they test positive?
We know Melania was mysteriously sitting in the middle of the tRump family Tuesday night WITH A MASK ON — the only mask on that side of the room amongst the family. Explain that to me, please. She only took off the mask when she went up on stage after the debate. They all flew back to DC after the debate in Cleveland that night… I wonder if she wore her mask on the plane as well, while she was around the family.
We know that Hope Hicks’ positive test result was known — at least to Mark Meadows, because he publicly confirmed it — before the Marine One helicopter with tRump left the White House on Thursday morning enroute to Joint Base Andrews to take them to New Jersey for the fundraiser.
Going to that fund-raiser after knowing he had definitely been exposed — in close contact for hours a day — to a known contagious person, without getting even an instant Covid-19 test first, was a monstrously evil act all by itself.
We have been told — by Dear Leader himself, multiple times — that he is tested ‘every day’. Obviously, given the source, this is not a credible data point. I strongly suspect that tRump doesn’t like the nasal swab any more than I did when I got my test, so his testing frequency has probably dropped off over time.
So that brings me to THE most important question: When did tRump get infected, and when did he first test positive?
We may never know the answer to these questions, but a whole lot of people who were in close contact with tRump during the past week would certainly like to know. And the rest of us would like to better understand the true magnitude of the monstrous evil that is being perpetrated on our country by tRump.
Cheers.
