True prayers for VP Biden and Dr. Biden. n/t

[LuckyCharms]

[LisaL]

1. Pisses me of that more protections weren't taken at the debate.

And why were Trump's people allowed to remain when they didn't wear masks?

[LuckyCharms]

3. Agree completely. n/t

[JI7]

5. Me too. I keep thinking about it and it just makes me angry at everyone

[wnylib]

33. How many did the covid couple and their Klan

infect or expose?

[AngryOldDem]

39. Case Western should have denied them entry.

Given the stakes, not to mention C-W policy.

They have always just been dicks over this mask business. Maybe they’re about to learn a hard lesson about hubris and arrogance.

My concern is with the Bidens and anyone else who’s had the great misfortune to cross paths with this pack of reckless, irresponsible assholes.

2. Was he more than 6 feet

Away on that debate stage? Trump was shouting for 90 mins.

[LuckyCharms]

4. Personally, I think 6 feet is too little...

[leighbythesea2]

6. Probably

Especially inside. This is upsetting.

[LisaL]

7. Exactly.

6 feet is only good for a virus that spreads via large droplets. Covid is spreading by large and small droplets and small droplets travel a lot further than 6 feet.
They know all this shit yet let Biden on the stage with Trump, no masks, no plexiglass, Trump's people not wearing masks yet allowed to remain.

[Claustrum]

8. It's indoor and for over 2 hours.....

6 feet is not nearly enough because of circulated air and the extended time in the same room.

[radius777]

43. Yes, about 12 ft it looks, but Trump was shouting

and depending on how much viral load he had at the time (if any), and depending on the ventilation in the room - Biden could've been infected. We can only know if Biden escaped if he has several negative tests in the next week.

[oasis]

9. Biden will be okay. He took the wise approach in handling the virus. nt

[LisaL]

10. He was at the debate, no mask.

Hope was there.

[oasis]

13. They were apart for a considerable distance. Joe will rest, test

and come through with flying colors.

[LisaL]

16. Resting and testing doesn't prevent someone from getting infected.

NT

[oasis]

17. Joe's been playing it smart so far. He's been fine so far

doing it his way. I can see no reason why that would change.

[LisaL]

18. Trump has been fine so far too.

I don't understand your logic.

[oasis]

23. Trump hasn't been "playing it smart". Trump places himself

in the midst of rallies with people who wear no masks. Trump and his entourage limit their use of mask.

Joe Biden does the opposite. Seems "logical" that Biden would be less likely to catch the virus. Got it?

[LisaL]

25. He was at the debate with Trump.

In the same room. Miss Hope also was there.
Got it?

[oasis]

28. Joe did not sit with Hope or share a Diet Coke with Trump.

Yes, they were all in the "same room", but it was large enough to satisfy the Covid safety concerns of the staffs of both teams. Trump's folks aren't about to put him in a hazardous situation. The "room" and the distance between the podiums passed the standards set by the experts.

[AngryOldDem]

40. There's some uncertainty about how far droplets can spread in a closed environment.

Six feet is an arbitrary figure. Trump was ranting and raving most of the night.

This was a topic of discussion by Don Lemon and Sanjay Gupta on CNN. Gupta seemed really concerned.

And I don’t think “Trump’s folks” are the go-tos about what constitutes responsible behavior during a pandemic. If that were the case, he would have been masked up in March and not been nattering on about how it’s all been overblown.

Also, I think it’s doubtful they’ll be totally straight about the timeline and severity here, either, which concerns me more than Trump’s diagnosis.

[cwydro]

19. No kidding.

And that buffoon screaming and spewing all night.

[progressoid]

22. Yep. Six feet isn't nearly far enough distance with him.

[SunSeeker]

30. Exactly. 90 minutes of yelling in an enclosed space.

That's why churches are superspreaders.

[cstanleytech]

24. Distance matters. Besides I suspect Trump is lying to get out of the next 2 debates

as he was already throwing a tantrum and threatening not to attend because they were considering cutting off his mic if he broke the rules again.

[LuckyCharms]

11. Not during the actual debate...

and Trump was practically screaming. I do indeed hope he is ok.

[hedda_foil]

14. It was more than 6 feet. Looked more like ten or so but it's scary.

[LuckyCharms]

15. Yes. n/t

[Frustratedlady]

12. With Trump yelling, 6 ft. wouldn't be enough space.

I hope the Bidens are clear. This virus is nothing to mess with.

[Dem2theMax]

20. Amen!

🙏

[BlueWavePsych]

21. I'm sure the quick test are being used with redundancy to avoid false positives.

After Hope Hicks was confirmed positive, Drumpf's likely knew he was positive when he tweeted about being quarantined. He just delayed deciding whether to broadcast he was positive until redundancy tests confirmed he was positive.

Conversely, Biden and his team have had redundant quick test. No new is good news in that regard.

[SunSeeker]

31. It takes at least 5 days after exposure for a test to detect the virus.

Biden needs to be retested on Monday with an RNA test, not one of those bullshit Abbott rapid tests that have up to 50% false negatives.

[OhioTim]

42. Maybe More

Up to 14 days using current knowledge. Recently made fun of Biden for wearing a mask. This will change the entire election. No more in person debates. How do Trump's followers react? They believe masks are not necessary and their leader is perfect. Trump will be blamed by the voters.

[octoberlib]

26. They never should have had an in person debate

during a pandemic. Especially with people who refuse to wear masks.

[Lucinda]

27. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[SunSeeker]

29. ...

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[ffr]

32. The timing is almost perfect for tRump with his flagging poll numbers. Call me skeptical.

and the probability he'll lose the election bigley.

I'm 70% sure he's got some scheme trumped up to fake his and Melania's deaths and escape to mother Russia.

[ffr]

34. And my other thought was that he better not have infected Joe

Sending good vibes Joe's way!!!

[wendyb-NC]

35. Yes, absolutely.

I hope and pray, they some how avoided the virus.

[rb15]

36. Amen

My mom and I are praying to St. Michael for protection.

[videohead5]

37. It looked like they were 12 feet

Apart to me. It was way more than 6 feet.

[wnylib]

38. Cancel future debates, including the

VP one. This demonstrates how risky they are. Or at least no more in person ones.

[Hekate]

41. For their continued health and safety

[Buckeye_Democrat]

44. It would be INFURIATING if Biden got infected...

... from Trump or his cohorts at the debate!

Then made even worse if it affected him far worse than Trump!

Sorry for my negative thinking, but it also results in a greater sense of relief when such dark thoughts never happen!

[Pluvious]

45. LAT: Bidens not out of the woods yet

The nightmare won't end !

After learning that his aide Hope Hicks had tested positive for the virus, Trump traveled to a fundraising event in New Jersey on Thursday where he reportedly mingled with many people. On Friday afternoon, it was reported that Trump was being helicoptered to Walter Reed Military Medical Center.
