There's no way Trump could still be contagious, right?

Just a little worried about the debate and Biden's safety. Really hoping it doesn't happen. As far as I know, COVID-19 patients usually cease to be contagious about 10 days after symptoms begin. However, the White House's lack of clarity on the president's health makes me uncomfortable. What a shit show.

1. I think Trump has recovered.

He looks and sounds much more healthy than his WR days. And we haven't heard any more wide spread COVID cases around the WH. So my assumption is that he is ok now.

9. He cut his rally short tonight and didn't look well.

2. He walked out on his rally tonight

and kept complaining that he was cold (chills?... symptom of Covid relapse?) I’m not diagnosing, but all things are possible with this virus.

3. I know he's supposedly had a couple of negative tests too

But I trust nothing from this administration. How could anybody at this point?

5. Not the right kind -

And the doctor's statement was very evasive about the tests that actually need to be negative.

4. He could still be contagious.

The standard is two negative RNA tests. He has categorically declined to provide that information - and from what he has disclosed the implication is that the last one he referred to was positive (but low viral load)

6. I wish they'd install some of those big plexiglass partitions between them.

If nothing else it'd keep him from being picked up on Joe's mic when he starts yelling his insults.

8. The tall, wide, thick kind like Jaime Harrison used.

11. Biden should wear face shield, mask, glove bc odious#45 is going spew

..lots of shite.

[RockRaven]

7. Technically it is POSSIBLE. You've heard of Typhoid Mary, right? But based on CDC guidelines

one would normally assume he is not contagious anymore.

HOWEVER, Trump's got a whole entourage travelling with him everywhere, as does Biden, so getting those two groups together is a bad idea when you consider person A infecting B infecting C infecting D infecting E infecting F, etc...

10. Just toxic as always

The "antidote" arrives on November 3rd.

12. How about Biden in a full hazmat suit?

13. Welcome to DU

I don't know if he's contagious or not. I suspect he's still suffering from complications of Covid19 or the drugs he was taking to treat his illness.
