News Views will continue to run a daily Live Blog on how the deadly Coronavirus has affected our leaders, their ability to lead, and our government as a whole. Feel free to post any credible updates and discuss with one another the latest developments.
Just a quick recap of the last few days’ events:
- Trump announced he and Melania tested positive for the deadly Trumpvirus on Thursday evening/wee early Friday morning depending on what time zone one lives in.
- He and Joe Biden held their first presidential debate in Ohio a few days before and so far, Joe Biden continues to test negative.
- Trump’s doctors have painted a rosy picture of his condition but other medical professionals suggest he is suffering a more severe case of Covid-19.
- Trump has also said publicly that he’s doing well and even took a Sunday drive to see and wave at all his bigly fans hanging around Walter Reed Medical Hospital. His publicity stunt and photo op has jeopardized the health and well being of numerous Secret Service officers.
- In a tweet, Dr. James P Phillips said, “Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days.”
- At least seven people who attended a White House event on Sept. 26 have since tested positive for the coronavirus.
