Trump superfan shows symptoms of COVID-19 after getting kicked out of grocery for refusing to wear m

[RandySF]

One of President Donald Trump’s supporters who gained viral infamy for refusing to wear a mask at Trader Joe’s now fears she has the coronavirus.

Genevieve Peters last week was asked to leave the California grocery, and employees called police, after she pulled a borrowed mask down below her chin, and Thursday she revealed on her Facebook page that she was experiencing some symptoms of coronavirus infection.

“Yesterday I let you guys know that I had a sore throat and it was feeling like it was going into my lymph nodes,” Peters said, “and the reason I posted it is because I knew I had zero fear that I will be a statistic on the COVID-19. I’m not saying I might not get it, I might get it. I mean, anyone could get it, right? I mean, it’s like the flu. I mean, I’ve had the flu many times in my life, but I’ve survived it.”

“The reason I put it out there is to show, if you start feeling symptoms — there was zero panic,” she added. “Zero panic. Why? Because I’m healthy. Healthy people can get sick, they can have a little bit of a cold or a little bit of a sore throat, and it doesn’t mean the end. But here’s what could happen: When you feel a little bit of a sickness and you panic, your body will respond to the additional stress.”

1. karma is OUR friend

[MoonRiver]

2. Can COVID-19 be transmitted through Kool-Aid?

[Merlot]

3. Of course her perspective is only about how she is sick, not how she could infect others.

[Doodley]

6. Typical Trumpster.

[Mike 03]

7. Good catch.

[42bambi]

9. True. You know she's a Trumpette by the way she thinks - exactly like him.

[DBoon]

13. and she can't get very sick because she is so healthy

only losers die of Covid-19

[Aristus]

38. I have patients say the same thing to me all the time during flu season.

"I don't need the flu shot because I never get sick".

Leave aside for the moment the importance of ensuring you don't become a vector for transmitting influenza. Saying you don't need the vaccine because you never get sick is like saying you don't need seat belts because you've never died in a car accident.

[dalton99a]

22. +1

[LeftInTX]

29. Yep

It's always, "me, me, me"

[Midnight Writer]

34. Exactly.

[Doodley]

4. Another Trump Covidiot.

[PJMcK]

5. Good luck, Genevieve

Thoughts and prayers, ya know?

[PCIntern]

17. T's and P's.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. Yeah - toilet paper and paper towels

gotta add them to the shopping list.

[OAITW r.2.0]

24. I am conserving mine for those that really need it.

She just doesn't qualify.

[Thomas Hurt]

8. Trying to convince youself you are going to be okay by writing comments on FB is not panic?

Odds are she will have a crappy week or two and be okay...if not was it worth it to make a political statement?

[Mike 03]

10. I'm not saying she's lying

but it's interesting she mentions lymph node involvement, since that is a symptom that is not often mentioned in articles about COVID-19 or even long lists of symptoms.

[Mariana]

30. Yeah, she might have Strep throat or some such thing.

Without a test, who knows?

[UpInArms]

11. I hope she posts a "vent selfie"

and talks about the “flu”

[LakeArenal]

12. Mistaken that people give a damn.

[bullwinkle428]

14. Sure sounds like she's still in a certain state of denial.

[Liberal In Texas]

15. Some of these people are sayiing they've already had it and it was no big deal.

They may actually have had a cold, the flu or bad allergies. Odds are they weren't tested. And some of them are lying.

I had some pretty bad allergies in March that persisted and gave me some kind of chest infection. Primary care people had me tested for covid and flus and all came back negative. When it didn't quit they got me a zpack and another covid test. The zpack knocked out the breathing issues I was having and the covid test done at a different facility was negative again.

Anyway, I think a lot of them are going to run around after getting over a cold and tell everyone they've had it, NBD and now they're immune.

I fear I'll have to be near any of them.

[Mariana]

32. LOTS of people believing they had this back in the winter

when it really wasn't running around much in the US yet.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. I'm One Of Them!

I'm sorry but there's sneaking evidence here & there suggesting it's been around much longer.
My suspicion is not just based upon symptoms.
Out of a population of 130, 19, adults & children, got sick with strong respiratory symptoms. 18 were diagnosed a bronchitis, 1 as pneumonia.
This all happened within 14 or 15 days.
14.5% of the people in that building sick with respiratory problems in 2 weeks is not wild speculation on my part.
I don't know for sure, of course, but it's a reasonable possibility. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but clearly something VERY contagious ran through that school.

[Mariana]

36. It's interesting that we didn't have thousands of people

landing in the ICU or the morgue with it. The number of people dying (from everything) was within the normal range up until the middle of March. It was only after that that the number began to rise enough to be unusual.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

The doctors in China seem to have figured out early on that they were dealing with something entirely new. Why weren't doctors in the US writing up cases of a weird viral pneumonia like nothing they had ever seen before? They picked up that the vaping illnesses were related when there were only a handful of cases, but they didn't notice thousands upon thousands of cases of Covid-19? It's frankly hard to believe that so many doctors were seeing this, and not a one of them noticed that it was like that virus in China that everyone knew about by the end of January.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. Oh, Brother!

We have thousands now!
What are you talking about?
Besides the experts believe the strain that hit here from Europe is the more aggressive version.
And, you're relying on the official version of Chinese activities as your basis?
Good luck with that sort of gullibility.
Besides, I said I was suspicious. I claimed not a whit of certainty.

[Mariana]

39. I understand it's very comforting to think you've already had it.

I hope you're right. The best case scenario is if has already run around the country during the winter, miraculously killing so few people that it didn't cause any blip in the mortality statistics, and no doctors were competent enough to see that it was something new and different and report it. That would be wonderful if it was true.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. She looks obese

So she does likely have a risk factor for severity.

[GusBob]

18. " I mean. I'm stupid as hell"

And am intent on proving it

[CTyankee]

19. I am just out of shits to give, Genevieve.

You will learn a hard lesson. You might die very soon. Sorry, no tears for you. You might be responsible for others' deaths. Did you think about that?

[Gothmog]

20. trump supporters are very stupid

[dalton99a]

21. Vitamin C, apple cider vinegar and oregano oil should take care of it

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. I mean, she is so stupid, I mean, I've seen stupidity like that and I've survived it, I mean. . . nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. Perhaps a Clorox mouthwash will help.....Dr. Trump seems to think so. nt

[Vogon_Glory]

27. My sympathy is limited, Genevieve

I give it to the people you infected while you were playing Typhoid Mary and spouting make-believe. I have little for you.

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Another Medal of Freedom nominee for Trump to honor

if she's still around later this year.

[keithbvadu2]

31. You may be healthy but the people you pass it on to may not be healthy.

You may be healthy but the people you pass it on to may not be healthy.

[durablend]

33. I think she should spray herself with Lysol

And drink some Clorox to make it "go away"

[Blue_true]

40. If she has it, I hope that she gets really sick, but don't die.

I wish for her to lay in a hospital bed, barely conscious, thinking of how stupid she was not to take covid19 seriously. Hopefully, she recovers as a better person, as small a hope as that is.
