Meh

Trump is a liar. For all we know they're lying about this to allow him to skip the next debate and throw around propaganda about how the virus isn't dangerous at all. 

I saw this on a (medical) facebook page I follow, (yes, yes I know...) but I had honestly not thought of it until then - would not surprise me and would get Trump a lot of sympathy. The comments were hilarious.

It's hard to not say "I told you so".  I certainly don't wish death or anything horrible on ANYONE who gets this virus.  My hope is that people will stop with the whole "Covid is a hoax" nonsense and now the country will take this virus seriously.  That being said, my expectations are low.

The number of infected is sure to rise among the cabal of covidiots.  Hopefully the number of infections will give the Trump voting base a moment of pause about ignoring the public heath recommendations.

5 days is a common incubation period for Covid, 5 days prior to the onset of symptoms both Hicks and the President were at the Rose Garden event announcing Amy Coney Barrett as the SC nominee.  So far, 5 attendees of that event have turned positive.  They were seated shoulder to shoulder for an extended period of time and only a handful wore masks.  

Here's video of Conservative-style social distancing in the time of Covid:

"I regret my error of judgment in not wearing a mask during the ceremony and by shaking hands with a number of people in the Rose Garden," Jenkins added.

The ND president simply reflected the submission that the Trump administration expects relative to covid. It was a conscious choice.

I’m with the fake publicity stunt camp - to push the narrative that covid is minor and not a threat.  
 

Nothing has been off limits for trump so far.  No reason to believe anything he says.

President Trump is being flown to Walter Reed Hospital.

Condition is being described as a moderate case.

I seriously doubt this would happen if this was just a fake publicity stunt.
