DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus COVID-19: Trump Knew

I won't mention a name but it was posted on the influenza thread in the Everything Else forum.

It was either done to get a reaction out of people or it was done out of stupidity. Testing will plainly tell you if you have Covid or not. Anyone trying to create some crazy narrative to the contrary is either naive, stirring the pot or stupid. I'll let you come to your own conclusion.

At least 5 people in Pence's orbit, including chief of staff Marc Short, are positive for coronavirus

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/24/politics/mac-short-coronavirus-positive-test/index.html?

So anyways...While covid attacks the WH again Pence refuses to quarantine, and trump plans another super spreader event in the rose garden today ....Cases are up in 80% of all states. 125,000 American’s dead. They just don’t care. But they be saving a few unwanted fetus’s while taking away our healthcare soon. Pffft trump and his supporters.

WOOHOO that means over 100,000 people must have came back to life

Zombie apocalypse?

Meadows says Pence won't quarantine because he is 'essential'

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that Vice President Mike Pence will not quarantine after multiple aides tested positive for Covid-19 because he is "essential."

Meadows was pressed about Pence continuing to campaign even after four of his aides, including his chief of staff and top political adviser, tested positive for the virus in recent days.

A Pence spokesman said the vice president and his wife tested negative for the virus, but Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines stipulate that a person who has come into close contact with infected individuals should quarantine for 14 days.

Meadows said Pence, who is continuing to campaign on Sunday, is considered "essential personnel," adding that Pence will social distance and wear a mask.

"I spoke to the vice president last night at midnight," Meadows said. "And I can tell you that what he's doing is wearing a mask, socially distancing. And when he goes up to speak, he will take the mask off, put it back on. But he — he's wearing a mask as it relates to this particular thing because the doctors have advised him to do that."

Just so we're clear here. Pence is in charge of the Covid 19 task force. Their own policy requires anyone known to have been exposed to the virus to self quarantine.

But for political reasons he has chosen to ignore the very advise of the task force he is in charge of.



Murica!

Isn't he tested out the wazoo? If he is, then common sense says he's ok so long as he continues to test negative.

How long could I be contagious before a positive virus test?

Studies have shown that people may be contagious for about two days before developing COVID-19 symptoms.

In fact, right before developing symptoms is when people are likely the most contagious, said Dr. Werner Bischoff, an infectious disease specialist at Wake Forest University.

People who never develop symptoms can spread infection, too. That’s a problem because many people would never seek testing unless they developed symptoms or knew they’d been exposed.

But there’s a more complicated part to this question: What if someone knows they were exposed but their virus test comes back negative -- could they still be contagious?

Maybe.

A negative test within less than seven days after exposure “is a very, very poor indicator of whether you have virus on board,” said Dr. Alan Wells of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Some tests are less accurate than others, and you have to factor in the incubation period, he said.

A negative test between seven and 10 days of exposure is a better indicator, Wells said, but even then some people might not test positive until later.

“That is why if you have had a credible exposure, you should wear a mask and you should self-quarantine if there’s any question,” he said.

This is why the self quarantine policy is so critical.

I think they actually take swabs of his nose or throat.
I think the wazoo is a different test.

How some you can joke about 200,000+ Americans dead is so telling. But expected.

I joke about cancer
I joke about strokes
I joke about heart problems
I joke about myself.
I joke about dementia
I joke about memory problems.
I joke about covid.
I joke about being Quarantined.

Hell there is not much I won't or don't joke about.

Not joking about american deaths due to covid right? Because that’s what it seemed like, not just you. Maybe I’m wrong. Let me go back and re read.

Nope You didn’t, I made a typo and you joked about my typo and 100k Zombies coming back to life.

I apologize

No problem bro.

Admit it, you are just a twisted sob....LOL

Always have been, always will be. One of these days when covid is out of the way we have to have lunch or dinner again.

Coronavirus: Hospitalized virus patients at ‘all-time high’ DeWine says

Ohio is at an all-time high for hospitalized coronavirus patients, Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday.

There have been 18,433 hospitalizations reported in Ohio throughout the pandemic, including 198 reported Tuesday, according to the Ohio Department of Health. There are 1,456 COVID-19 patients in Ohio’s hospitals, including 459 in southwest Ohio.

“We have no indication that we’ve plateaued out at all,” DeWine said. “We’re not at the point where any of our hospitals are overflowing, but our trend line is not good.”

Ohio has 82 counties with a high incidence of coronavirus spread, meaning a county has more than 100 cases per 100,000 people.

“As you can see, this virus is everywhere, and it is spreading,” the governor said. “This community spread endangers our schools, our nursing homes, and our hospitals.”

DeWine called for Ohioans to go back to the basics: wearing face masks, social distancing and avoiding large gatherings.

“We are Ohioans, we always come together," he said.

He asked that people living in high incidence counties reconsider attending gatherings of any size and to wear masks inside and outside where social distancing isn’t possible.

The governor also called on county leaders to double down on efforts to slow the spread of the virus. DeWine said his team will meet with county leaders via Zoom to discuss what each community is doing and what it can do in the future. The meetings will start with counties on the level 4 watch list, Clark, Cuyahoga and Hamilton, and then by counties with the highest incidence rate.

“Our goal will be to bring people together to learn what we can do to help the community, and for the community to chart a course to safely get them through this winter,” he said.

More than 2,500 cases of coronavirus were reported in Ohio Tuesday, bringing the total to 202,740, according to the ODH.

Ohio has doubled its positivity rate in the last month. As of Sunday, the state’s seven-day positivity rate average is 5.7% compared to 2.8% on Sept. 25.

On Monday, Ohio broke 200,000 total cases of coronavirus. The state added 2,116 cases, bringing the total to 200,231.

Over the weekend the governor called for Ohioans to come together to slow the spread of the virus.

“We’re seeing in Ohio a huge increase in cases - much more than we saw in the spring and summer,” DeWine said. “Ohioans rallied together two other times, and I’m asking them to rally again now.”

He noted that though small events, such as birthday parties, bonfires, sleepovers and family get-togethers, seem innocent, they’re helping spread coronavirus.

“What’s so dangerous is that some people are carriers but don’t know it,” the governor said.

Where's that frickin' corner Trump keeps lying about? Over 225,000 dead Americans and counting. No national plan to combat Covid, a VP who should be in quarantine out campaigning, and people are going out and voting for this idiot.

White House science office says Trump ended COVID-19 pandemic as US hits record cases
BY NATHANIEL WEIXEL - 10/27/20 03:37 PM EDT



The White House science office listed "ending the COVID-19 pandemic" as the top accomplishment of President Trump's first term, even as the U.S. has set records for new daily infections and numerous hospitals across the country are stretched to their breaking points.

According to a press release intended to highlight the administration's science accomplishments, the Trump administration said it "has taken decisive actions to engage scientists and health professionals in academia, industry, and government to understand, treat, and defeat the disease."

The rosy outlook flies in the face of reality and underscores Trump's efforts to continuously downplay the severity of the pandemic that continues to rage nearly uncontrolled across the country.


As of Tuesday, more than 226,000 people in the U.S. have died from COVID-19. The seven-day average of new cases is nearly 70,000, a record number that is only expected to get worse. Hospitalizations and deaths are also climbing steadily upward. According to the COVID Tracking Project, there are more than 42,000 people hospitalized with COVID-19, up from about 30,000 just a month ago.

Overnight Health Care: Trump testing czar says rise in cases is real...
Researchers link severe COVID-19 cases to mental decline equal to...
Meanwhile, Trump has been holding rallies with thousands of people and minimal physical distancing or mask-wearing. He says the country is "rounding the turn," has attacked the media for focusing too much on COVID-19 and claimed the rise in cases is merely because the U.S. is testing more people.

The office of Vice President Pence is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak a week before the election, and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is under fire for saying the country is not going to control the virus.

Public health experts say that as the fall and winter progress, the situation is going to get much worse. Former Food and Drug Administration chief Scott Gottlieb said on CNBC Monday that the U.S. was at a "tipping point" of exponential spread in much of the country.

The most telling line....
“ Researchers link severe COVID-19 cases to mental decline...”

donny didn’t have much upstairs to hold onto anyway. His COVID obviously stripped away the last couple remaining brain cells.

At this point donny’s presidency is a bigger plague on this country than COVID. I’ve never wanted a man out of office so badly. What complete lack of reason. A complete garbage human. Stacked trash in a bad red tie.

AWESOME NEWS, THE WHITE HOUSE TASK FORCE SAYS THEY HAVE ENDED COVID. WE CAN ALL CELEBRATE

Are you saying that the 'Fake News' comes out of the White House?

So my son, his wife, and three boys have covid and are in what is going to be a longer than two week quarantine because they each got it at later times passing it between each other. Well today, both of my daughter-in-laws parents tested positive. Grandpa A. has symptoms and 3 time cancer survivor with her most recent bout only months ago, Grandma A., is asymptomatic. Grandpa A. and my daughter-in-law are the only ones with symptoms beyond the sniffles. All seem like they will fully recover with no issues at this point.

My wife's coworker and a guy she ride shared with for 6 years pre covid has his family all coming together tomorrow to see his mom and say their goodbyes through the glass at the nursing home she is in... dozens of active cases make in person goodbyes impossible and doctors don't expect her to live through the weekend with her case.

damn.

My God that's awful. D:

This s# is real, Eve.

Please stay safe.
Listen to the Browns online for awhile.

We can all get back together down the road a pace or two.
I'd hoist a brew or two with you, when it's safe for us to do.

Keep the faith...

Damn that is horrible to hear, just gut wrenching. You stay safe - wishing you and yours safety and health and speedy recoveries.

So sorry to hear this OCD.. Very sad.... My prayers to all.

Wishing yours a safe and quick recovery

Does this mean I don't have to finish my quarantine.

Wow thats a large group. So sorry to hear. Wishing them all the best.

It makes me so angry when I hear people say its a hoax and I wont wear a mask. People can be so stupid and they are thinking that because their pathetic excuse for a leader told them so. trump has killed US citizens. I lost a dear friend very early on. This is no joke and its not over. We need a really leader to get us out of this with as few more deaths as possible. and trump repeatedly proves he is not that guy.

Wow, as if he didn't have enough on his plate, my son's employer just laid him off. He knew they were going out of business at the end of the year but since he caught covid it seems they decided to lay him off early. He's an electro mechanical robotics engineer, so he will find new employment but damn they are kicking him while he is down...

Sorry to hear the things your family is going through OCD.

That's awful.

On the plus side, I can tell you that the job market for engineers and the sort are definitely starting to open back up.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes etc.

I know oober, he won't have a problem finding a job. Factory/line automation is a booming field.

I wouldn't expect him (or you) to agree with me at this point in time... but when I was laid off, that was the best thing that could've happened to me. It got me out of a crappy work environment, allowed me to get back to (briefly) get back to what I was really good at, and allowed me to stop and assess my career and eventually switch things up. Ended up being a "1 step back, a bunch of steps forward" type of junction in my career.

Getting laid off sucks, but if he's emotionally/mentally able... make the most of it.

Oh it's not that big of a deal. He has known since July that they are closing operations in January and has already been seeking a better job. One of those Trump victory companies moving some jobs out of the country doing away with others. But he was supposed to be one of the last laid off due to his job. I guess getting covid changed that.

I just know I wanted to punch people in the face that were saying to me at the time, "hey, this could be a good thing". Turned out to be totally true, and I can say that now.

Now Don Jr. is claiming the death count is "almost down to nothing".
