... He clearly acts like he's above any protocol so what I said is probably irrelevant.

The "above the law" IMPOTUS.

From Monday's night video:

"I had to do it': Trump suggests he got virus as act of political courage

Quote

..."As your leader, I had to do that," said Trump, flanked by American flags atop the South Portico with the Washington Monument in the distance behind him.

"I knew there's danger to it -- but I had to do it. I stood out front. I led. Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did. And I know there's a risk, there's a danger -- but that's okay," he said....

Detectable levels of SARS-CoV-2-IgG Ab...interesting, we don't routinely check for these on our patients but I'm wondering if that's the effect of the monoclonal antibodies he received that's still under clinical trials (the one from Regeneron whose CEO "allegedly" plays at one of Trump's golf courses).

This is infuriating!!  He takes a joyride around WR hospital only with a facemask on, putting the secret service guys at risk.   Saying things like "Don't be afraid of Covid".  Says he's feeling better than he did 20 years.  Can you say Steroids?  He makes me sick. 

Sorry, but that sounds like a task that the SS volunteered for willingly.

 Have to stop reading news feeds... last post then off to needlepoint.

 

This is the same guy that is calling the nonpartisan debate committee “swamp people” for wanting the next debate to be virtual, saying safety measures could be implemented. 
 

This is even after Trump and his family refused to comply with any of the safety measures the Cleveland Clinic put in place for the first debate while the family was in the midst of spreading Covid across the country. 
 

How people can take this man seriously is mind boggling to me.

To get you thinking- a sneeze droplet is much much larger than a COVID particle. My allergies have been horrible and when I sneeze it goes right though the mask. Onto my shield if I’m wearing one. So how is that mask alone doing protection?

Here’s something for you to try:

Sneeze while wearing a mask and a shield. Take a picture of how much ends up on the shield. 
 

then sneeze while just wearing a shield. Take a picture of how much ends up on the shield. 
 

Compare the two pictures. 
 

Other experiments can include photos of how much makes it onto, say, a glass window from 3 feet, 5 feet and 10 feet away with and without a mask. 
 

This is stuff I learned in my prereqs BEFORE nursing school.
