This bug ain't the killer it is purported to be. Even if the "experts" and the MSN want you to believe it is. I mean just look at the 210000 people have died solely due to the Rona this past year.... /s

95% of people in Trump's demographic survive this virus. Question is how long will it take him off the campaign trial.

Fox News said possibly 14 days

Also said the Trump team planning virtual appearances...so maybe the rallies are still a go?

We were saying the same thing this morning. We long for the days of just the usual October surprises.

I doubt it will. They'll figure out a way to continue rallies ... like he did during the height of the lockdown.

Ex-White House physician: Trump is â€˜asymptomatic,â€™ will be ready for next debate
Fox News, Oct 2, 2020

President Trump will "absolutely" be ready before the next presidential debate against Joe Biden, his former White House physician told "Fox & Friends" on Friday.

The commander in chief announced overnight that both he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the coronavirus and will quarantine at the White House.

Dr. Ronny Jackson, a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral who served as physician to the president from 2013 to 2018 and is running for Congress in Texas, said there's plenty of time between now and the Oct. 15 debate against the Democratic nominee.

"Once he tests negative twice, you know, he should be safe to go back to his normal routine, and that will be well before the next debate," Jackson said.

Trump is "asymptomatic right now" Jackson noted, adding that the president should have immunity after he recovers with two negative tests.

"We have to remember that he is in great physical health otherwise," Jackson added.

The president doesn't have any co-morbidities and, at 74 years old, the vast majority recover quickly, Jackson said.

I'm sure they'll cook something up. They have to - this kind of diminishes Trump's apparent advantage in strength and energy over Biden.

This morning, the news is reporting "mild symptoms." I'll bet he makes the next fake debate.

Hopefully they stay mild.

I would recommend not. Virtual rallies would attract a fraction of what the in-person rallies do and the media would spin that as an indication that Trump is losing support.

I'm sure Trump is waiting with baited breath to see what you'd recommend.

If only someone had invented a telephone; it would have been the perfect way for Drs. Jackson and Conley to speak to each other. Damn!

The Trump campaign .... with the President joining .... has been conducting successful virtual rallies since the lockdown. So there's no need for you to worry yourself sick; they've got this.

Perhaps. But why should they? I would think Dr. Conley has more importing matters on his plate right now.

Besides, Jackson said Trump was asymptomatic and that's already been proven wrong. Jackson hasn't a clue on what's happening with Trump.

Seems like a good day to avoid Twitter, Facebook and CNN. I think I'll rake leaves.

I don't watch or listen to the news, haven't for years. I come here to see what is going on and read the opinions of other members, grateful that they take the hit watching, reading and listening to the fools out there, it saves my BP and reduces my migraines. So to all you Briefers taking the hits Thank You!

The wine is always there so we can celebrate the whine from the left.

This may be a good thing.
The Democrats have been claiming 'cases' are the same thing as 'deaths'.
THERE ARE 37,000 NEW CASES EVERY DAY!!! As if this means they are all certainly dead.
If Trump gets the virus and is fine, this will prove that COVID is not the death sentence the Left claims it is.
You catch a cold, and get over it. Just like everything else.

the more time goes on the smarter I think this approach is. This past year has been so sh*tty Iâ€™ve developed a chronic low grade headache. Never had em before. You just canâ€™t be p*ssed all the time.
