13 more ‘mornings’ to be tested.

Mike Lee tests positive for Covid. Amy an her Indiana brood and all the little senators she met with this week as well as al those unmasked people at her presser last Saturday best consider quarantine and get tested.

Good news–so far–for the VP and Second Lady.
Joe and Jill Biden have tested negative, CNN tells me. No word yet on Chris Wallace.
Senator Mike Lee tested positive. He was at a Rose Garden event last Saturday, unmasked. On Tuesday, he stood next to Amy Coney Barrett in a Senate room, unmasked and not socially distanced.

Pence v Biden… I would actually flip back to Pence. It’s one of these things I hadn’t taken seriously, but I can’t be the only one. I don’t even like Pence. I know Trump could never, ever, ever go for that.

But if they rolled Pence out at the next debate, he would crush Biden, be congenial, and I think it would be an interesting outcome.

Or he never gets sick. Just being in a room with others isn’t as bad as we thought. Hope Hicks is an attractive woman and was in a room with Trump, and we know how hard it is for Trump to restrain himself. Pence on the other hand has installed cold showers in every bathroom in the White House.

Trump is Trump’s kryptonite. Biden’s run circles around him by wearing sunglasses and riding bicycles around with some ice cream, intellectually dominated a debate by letting Trump actually dominate 99% of it.

Bernie would be out and about, telling us all kinds of ideas and plans, losing. But Biden’s watching Netflix and winning.

Trump’s Secret Service Has Struggled With Outbreak at Training Center
The Secret Service sustained a coronavirus outbreak at its training facility in Maryland in August, weeks before President Trump was infected, evidence of growing infections at the agency responsible for protecting the president.

At least 11 employees at the center in rural Maryland tested positive for the virus even though the agency had closed it for several months this year to enforce procedures to mitigate transmission, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.

Some of the personnel are believed to have contracted the virus during training exercises and at a graduation celebration inside a nearby hotel where they did not practice social distancing, the people said.

You heard wrong. Most people here are disaffected Republicans who are simply disgusted with Trump, both personally and the way he has run his Administration.

My impression is that, for most, Biden is a lesser-of-two-evils choice. A cookie-cutter Republican would be far preferable, and if that is what Pence is, most here would jump at the chance.

(My personal view is similar, except that I view Trump as the lesser-of-two evils, because (a) Biden is old, declining, and even in his prime was a pandering politician who followed where the wind blows and (b) the Democratic party has taken an abrupt lurch to the left, and they will dominate a Biden administration in policy and personnel.

Trump has no ideology, he is just in it for his own ego, and has less scruples than a pit viper. But as venal as that is, when you compare it to a coterie of quasi-Marxist true believers, I’ll take the narcissist.)

Thank you, frosty. That was a nice twist on your part, that asking for facts from a White House known for stonewalling and spinning tall tales is somehow akin to an uncredible Alex Jones searching for his next bogus conspiracy theory. Well done.
Meantime, Cleveland officials found eleven cases related to the setup an planning of last Tuesday’s debate, and the stupidity and foolishness at the White continues.

A senior White House official said Friday that masks will still not be mandatory at the White House, describing facial coverings as “a personal choice,” despite overwhelming evidence that they help to stop the spread.
And the White House is not planning to move to a different, more reliable testing system after the one it uses failed to detect that adviser Hope Hicks had the virus the day she began experiencing symptoms.

Such a terrible thing to question their competence. The audacity.

Well, he is a retro 1978-model stick-in-the-mud flavorless Republican, but the key word is “Republican”. And though his character is tainted by his association with a zero character running mate, Pence does have some integrity in there somewhere. And after almost four years of leadership-by-chaos, I’ll prefer something more rational and less chaotic. Pence was pretty good in those CV19 task force briefings, so good that Trump took the limelight.

Trump heads to military hospital in wake of covid-19 diagnosis, officials say

Rip Murdock (d2a2a8) — 10/2/2020 @ 2:23 pm

Trump Receives Experimental Drug Treatment for Mild Symptoms
….
The treatment the president received is an antibody cocktail developed by the biotech company Regeneron, according to a memo from his doctor, Dr. Sean P. Conley. Mr. Trump is also taking vitamin D, zinc, melatonin, a daily aspirin and famotidine (an antacid better known as Pepcid), the memo said.

There are no approved treatments for Covid-19, but the Regeneron treatment is one of the most promising candidates, along with another antibody treatment developed by Eli Lilly. Both are being tested in patients around the country.

Initial results have suggested that they can reduce the level of the virus in the body and possibly shorten hospital stays — when they are given early in the course of infection.

Yes… there are evidence that the virus is/has been mutating to a less severe strain. We won’t know for sure till we’re well into the next flu season. (or the virus mutates again to be more virulent).

Plus, even if it does roar back being more deadly, we’ve learned from the past and strengthened our therapeutics. (For instance, dexamethasone is the steroid of choice right now, showing that the length of stay in the hospitals are reduced by 30-40% of “hospital days”. That number doesn’t seem big, but it’s REALLY impactful).

It goes to the great failure of this administration to handle this pandemic. We could have had it under control months ago, but instead it’s out of control. All because of the stupidity of this president.

Other countries successfully dealt with the novel coronavirus. They’re up and running! The US is sick and dying. There is no excuse for this.

We are supposed to set the example for the free world. Instead, we make an example of a disgrace. More infections, more hospitalizations, more deaths than any other country.

Nelania is younger – and also they take special medical care of a president. Possibly for the administration of an IV drug or for more tests.

DCSCA has nailed to the two issues that will defeat Biden: Not living in Scranton and plagiarism. I just can’t understand why the Trump campaign hasn’t latched onto them, they sound like sure winners.

6, The truth is neutralizing monoclonal antibodies are better (but don;t confer any immunity – but the Trump will take a vaccine in a month or two.

@80.But Rip, so far they’re the only two things we’re certain he has taken stance on.

Follow Pence.

@75 Air Force. 😛

Your grandmother clearly grew up in Scranton, but where do those of us who didn’t live in one place for the 1st 20 years of our lives say we grew up? I’d argue that I could say that I grew up in all of the 3 very different places I lived between ages 6 and 18.

Chopper lifting off…. for NeverTrumpers, right about this time in Independence Day the White House gets disintegrated.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 10/2/2020 @ 3:20 pm

NeverTrumpers haven’t been this excited about a WH chopper departure since August 9, 1974. 😉

DCSCA (797bc0) — 10/2/2020 @ 3:23 pm

@85.He has no argument. It’s a blatant lie- Joe Biden did not grow up in Scranton, PA and has not lived there in 67 years. No home there; zip.

The ‘sympathy vote’ is now going to ‘Beau-merang’ on Joe for Trump.

What. A. Showman.

Trump on ‘experimental drug.’

A mix of sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium chlorate, sodium hydroxide, sodium polyacrylate and water, perhaps?

You know it as Clorox.

Republicans? Children shot? This, specifically, is what comes to your mind?

Any human tragedy will provoke thoughts and prayers from people of good will – thoughts from, say, atheists and prayers from, say, theists, with both from the inclusive polite. Some may be Republicans and others may be Democrats, but almost all are thoughtful, prayerful, and sincere people. The rest are easily identified as sarcastic.

Something that really does what he imagined a disinfectant might do, and otherwise harms nothing.

MOSCOW — The officials from a secretive Russian security force seemed to know exactly what they wanted when they reached out to Olga Izranova’s company last spring.

They wanted movable tunnels that douse people in clouds of disinfectant.

“They said it had to be done very fast,” Ms. Izranova recalls.

She admits the tunnels are of limited efficacy in the coronavirus pandemic, but for her most important customer, every bit counts. The Federal Protective Service, Russia’s answer to the Secret Service, has helped build a virus-free bubble around President Vladimir V. Putin that far outstrips the protective measures taken by many of his foreign counterparts….
