Good, you can start by telling the truth and stop spreading lies.

"Everyone who was at the debate should now be quarantining as much as possible, monitoring themselves closely for symptoms, wearing masks, and keeping their physical distance as much as possible," says Eleanor Murray, an epidemiologist at Boston University. That goes for Biden, too, despite today's negative test. After being exposed to the virus, half of the people who go on to show symptoms are symptomatic by day five that would be Sunday for Biden, if he was exposed during the debate. About 98 percent of people are symptomatic by day 12, which would be next Sunday. If Biden is still testing negative a week from now, "it'll be a good sign that there's little likelihood of having been infected," Murray says. Until then, he has to wait.

Hmm . . . is Trump the super-spreader?

He is a super-spreader of bovine excrement, at least.

Probably not him, but this is a pretty significant cluster. Remarkable that it took this long given how lax these clowns have been this entire time.

I hope the covid deniers learn from this and that people start to take masking and social distancing more seriously.

This will only add to the covid deniers unless someone gets seriously ill. If they all shrug it off Trump will say, see no big deal, just like the flu.

What you don't see in that picture are the White House press corps. Three journalists covering the WH as well as a WH staffer liaising with the press have just tested positive today. These journalists travel with the WH staff on Air Force One to events such as the one in that picture. They effectively are another layer of the WH team although they of course have different employers.

This just goes to show widespread contact really is in modern life. Anyone could be a spreader and if you don't take the available precautions such as masks, eventually it's just a matter of time before the virus enters the group. Some way, somehow.

Only losers abide by that.

"WORRIED -- you almost **never ever** give someone a clinically untested drug like @Regeneron's polyclonal antibody drugunless it's for compassionate use for someone severely ill, or you're crazy. Right @VincentRK? This smacks of utter craziness or desperation."

So if I did spread lies, you would absolutely love it.

You do spread lies and you do love it.

That does it: I'm going to get out there without a mask much more often. I want to be brave, and it worked so well for 45. Thanks, Fox News!
