    Breaking news NASA also reports that the moon continues orbiting Earth and the Earth is also continuing its voyage around the sun in spite of Trump catching COVID.

    This is a list of people who have been test positive who were at the White House..


    • President Donald Trump
    • First lady Melania Trump
    • Hope Hicks, senior advisor to the president
    • Bill Stepien, Trump’s campaign manager
    • Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
    • Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah
    • Sen. Thom Tillis, R-North Carolina
    • Three White House reporters
    • One White House staffer
    • Kellyanne Conway, former White House senior advisor
    • The Rev. John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame University (Jenkins was at the White House Saturday, when Trump introduced Judge Amy Coney Barrett as his Supreme Court nominee. Barrett was a law professor at Notre Dame for 15 years before Trump nominated her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.)


    The White House should be evacuated immediately, I believe.

    That doesn't mean they caught it at the WH. Weren't most of them at a fundraiser?

    Even if they caught it at the WH they are no longer there. What would be gained by shutting it down? The people there would just have to move elsewhere.

    Totally illogical suggestion as far as I can see.

    Same goes for Bolsonaro.

    Had corona beer last night. Felt like a toast was needed.

    In case you haven't noticed, there is an election happening in a few weeks and the current president has been hammering that the virus is almost gone, the corner has been turned, they're doing tremendously well and the vaccine is days away from being available to everyone and that the economy is roaring back and everyone should be back to work. You think that shutting the White House or Congress would play well in the narrative? You think that even if it was necessary, Trump would go along with it because it's important to people's health?

    The timeline doesn’t seem right for a fake diagnosis. Especially now so many others at the Barrett event have tested positive also.

    The problem with conspiracies is the number of people needed to keep quiet - the bigger that is the less likely the conspiracy is to work.

    So we have all of Trump’s family and close staff, now many staff at Walter Reed hospital, etc. They’re all going to cover this up?
    Or he lied to all of them. I'm not saying it's a con either but wouldn't put it past him.

    Overall though I feel it's very unlikely he is lying in this particular case. The main reason to suspect he's lying is he lies more often than he tells the truth ... But apart from that it doesn't make much sense for him to go to hospital as a "move". Even if he recovers now it was surely bad for his PR, not good.

    Only other possibility is he has a massive short position on the stock market haha

    In the Uk, I saw:

    In shops - about 5-10 percent wearing nothing (including the staff in a bakery!); about 20-30% wearing visors and rest some kind of mask (perhaps 10-20% surgical masks);
    in offices - no info
    On public transport - zero
    Shopping centres - no info
    Heathrow airport - 10-20%, mostly staff with masks around their necks
    Streets - 80%
