“The combination of the two factors makes Biden a close contact, even if the letter of the law doesn’t consider him one,” Dr. Marr said.

And the point about who "really" blew the guidelines is moot.

This whole thing is simply another attempt to trash the Times. It's not perfect by any means, but this minor comment in a minor article really isn't worth this discussion.

So this is all they could find to nitpick about? Walleye Oct 2020 #10

But you'll post the link. As the quoted passages seem to say, the article is a reasonable assessment TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #11

I agree as to the risk - Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #14

Seems there's a lot of slack in those quidelines... TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #18

The article stretches the guidelines beyond the breaking point Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #13

But you missed this part, even after I mentioned it earlier... TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #19

Let's hope Mr. Trump wasn't yet releasing that much virus. LisaL Oct 2020 #24

Agreed. I hope so too, but you just don't know. TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #26

No I didnt. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #25

Curiously, I didn't read it that way at all-- just another background article. TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #28

Here. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #32

It is not a stretch. I read that and simply saw it as recognition that the guidelines are guidelines TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #35

The guidelines are very specific as to what constitutes exposure. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #36

Guidelines, schmidelines Biden was possibly exposed... TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #37

I'd say the OP is a hit piece on the Times... brooklynite Oct 2020 #16

I found out years ago that no matter what you write, you cannot control how it is received. TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #21

You mean the same New York Times Trumpocalypse Oct 2020 #34

I mean the New York Times that's being published today. brooklynite Oct 2020 #41

Which has a questionable history Trumpocalypse Oct 2020 #44

I looked up the author. He seems pretty down the line. I would not worry about it. Quixote1818 Oct 2020 #20

Oh, come on!!! Biden was at least 12 feet away from Trump. LAS14 Oct 2020 #27

As I have said twice-- the CDC guideines have not been given by God and Trump... TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #31

does not read like a hit piece to me, so I will pass on the framing nt Celerity Oct 2020 #33

I read only a small amount, but it simply sounded like a reporter trying to keep the public Blue_true Oct 2020 #42

like so many have said, everything Trump touches, dies (Biden will be a huge exception, thank fuck) Celerity Oct 2020 #43
