James Phillips is a non-military doctor. He's not one of the doctors involved in the care of President Trump. I'd like to hear what one of the physicians who ARE involved with his care, know his condition, know the specifics of the vehicle used in the ride, and know what precautions were taken, have to say. Have any of them said everyone in the vehicle has to be quarantined for 14 days or are we just hearing the opinion of this physician from from George Washington University.

Not only is he not his treating physician, he sounds unprofessional. Which leads me to question his motivations.

Kayleigh McEnany tested positive.

What is remarkable is she said she had no idea of the positive results when she did the presser! WHOA! And the WHITE HOUSE medical unit said she didn't have contacts? HUH? Umm, okie dokey. She died briefings hours after her boss was tested and exclaimed to be positive.

That makes her the 9th know person to have attended the SCOTUS Rose Garden event last Saturday that is positive MOO

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were appalled that White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany interacted with reporters despite knowing she'd been exposed to the coronavirus.

"Oh my god": Joe Scarborough stunned Kayleigh McEnany may have knowingly exposed reporters to COVID

Nope, still hospitalized. Maybe we'll get an update today.

As an additional note, I hope that Rep Sierra (iirc, a person outspoken against masks) has a positive outcome. So sad he is intubated....

BNO Newsroom@BNODesk
Arizona state Rep. Lorenzo Sierra (D) has been hospitalized with COVID-19 after a visit to Washington, D.C. after visiting family in Washington Sept 27th. He's intubated in the ICU at Johns Hopkins University
(His wife is also positive)

Instead of responding, do want to say a MOO without such.

I do hope, and is my primary wish, that our President of the United States is taking care of his health. As we have seen with so many through the science, things are *iffy* and usually go south (if they do) within the period of 7-10 days post infection.

I do hope for his health, our economy, our national safety that he helps himself to those that know best. I do hope that throwing the *kitchen sink* at him is successful.

I do hope that the Regeneron (analagous to convalescent plasma, but replicated in lab) helped to knock down the virus PRIOR to initiation of what a large viral load could do with cytokines

I do hope they are keeping a close eye on his D-dimer levels and ferritin (I'm sure they are)

I do hope that the Remdesivir infusions will mirror a shorter hospitalisation stay (which normally was only for moderate/severe and reduced hospitalization 3-4 days... from average of 12 days.. but that usually was ONLY given to folks who had different circumstances and PRIOR was only for moderate to severe.. yet the day after Trump was dx FDA approved for all in the EUA)

I do hope the steroids are successful (which normally were ONLY given in situations of inflammation)

Prayers for Representative Sierra (D-Arizona).

That is your opinion and others may disagree.

He did have the approval of his doctor, so he was signed out.

Plenty of patients leave and then return, for various reasons. It is not that cut and dry.

I don't understand why it is a slap in the face to families with CV patients in the hospital. How does it harm them in any way? Who is slapping them and why?

I agree Katy.

I'm not one to point fingers because when I do I know three fingers are pointing directly at me.

Since I'm one year younger than our President I try to be as cautious as I can, but I would be dishonest if I said I've followed it each, and everytime.

I know the majority may disagree with me, and I highly respect all who do, but I think it was very important for PT to be seen out, and about since our adversaries are watching like a hawk. Imo, it is highly important for our national security for the world to know he's combating the virus, and doing very well. As our president he must show strength, and courage. It lets all of the countries who wouldn't like anything better than to see him on his death bed know he is still fully in power not only as our president, but Commander in Chief who is still very capable of fulfilling his duties. Imo, it was done to send a strong message.

As for the SS, I agree with you. From everything I've read they were fully suited in all proper PPEs most likely like all of our doctors, nurses or other first responders or maybe even more so since I believe I read they had respirator equipment on as well.

As far as what other doctors say who haven't even treated PT, I bypass those articles for they really have no relevant value for me, jmo.

You are also correct about patients being able to leave the hospital, and return a short time afterwards. As long as the attending physicians agree, I don't have a problem with anyone doing so.

One of our close friends had all of his employees follow the CDC guidelines to the T each, and every day. Yet two of his employees contracted it with one of his longtime workers passing away from it. Even though they all worked in very close proximity with each other only those two were infected.

It shows this disease is very unpredictable. Look at how many in LE have had it even though masked, and some have died from it. Of course they have had thousands of unmasked protestors all across the nation screaming in their face most assuredly with the protestors spit landing on their face even though LE were masked.

I do worry about the long term isolation, and shutdowns, and how it's going to affect thousands or perhaps millions.

The collected data in so many subject matters during Covid will be interesting to learn, imo.

How many are committing suicide, and what category? How many more are overdosing on drugs? Will we find out child abuse, and DV has greatly worsened? How many are committing murder/ suicides? How many will wind up being alcoholics? How many will die because they were afraid to go to the hospital for care or needed surgeries?

I wouldn't be surprised if the data on all of those serious issues could result in being as high or higher in total as the death rates from Covid.

I also wonder if the soaring homicides, and attempted murders we are seeing will also be related to Covid shutdowns somehow?

Everything seems to have worsened since we were struck by this virus.

While Covid may be at the center the ripple effects will be far reaching when all the data is collected, and done. Imo

Jmho

No surprise. The list of positives keeps growing and unfortunately probably more will be added. It was only a matter of time given the non existence of safety protocol, especially masks imo.

Kayleigh was told she had direct contact with Hope Hicks but was told allowed to continue to come to work based on negative tests because she is an essential worker. She has been wearing a mask.

Why would he do this, especially if he did not feel well? Money?

Wrong post? This is not about Trump. It's about a tennis player.

Before Trump got CoVid, we discussed lots of others who have had it.

The Secret Service has already struggled with CoVid, gotten during various travels with the president:

Dozens Of Secret Service Agents Get COVID During Trump’s Travels

Trump’s Secret Service Has Struggled With Outbreak at Training Center

The agents in the car volunteered for the task, according to a few MSM sources.

Really concerning that the WH press secretary (Kayleigh) held a presser without a mask - and is positive for CoVid.

I can find no updates on Chris Christie's condition.

Wondering if they will quarantine now? The list is growing

President Trump left the hospital, where he had been admitted with an infectious disease, to go for a car ride.

Odd. Every person who has tested positive for Covid-19 is placed under an order of isolation. Meaning, they cannot leave their home, unless to go to the hospital for medical treatment. This is to prevent infectious people from spreading the disease to non infected people.

As for Kayleigh, why wasn't she under an order of quarantine? She had been in direct contact to a positive Covid case?!

Do these people not understand the point of Contact Tracing? Isolation? Quarantine?! Were they not contacted by the health department and given their orders of Isolation?

This article says updated today, but I don't see anything new, except maybe his background info.

Ex-N.J. Gov. Chris Christie hospitalized after COVID-19 positive test. Medical history includes asthma since he was a teen.

The former governor helped Trump, who has also tested positive for the coronavirus, prepare for a debate against Joe Biden last week inside without a mask. Christie, a Mendham resident who also owns a Jersey Shore home in Bay Head, noted his history with asthma when he checked into Morristown Medical Center on Saturday.


“While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure,” Christie tweeted Saturday evening. He has not provided any updates since.

Must be nice to have health insurance.

No surprise to me - they haven’t been following any CDC guidelines for months - it was inevitable IMO
