In a taped interview with journalist Bob Woodward, Trump said in mid-March he intentionally played down the virus in order not to “create a panic,” according to CNN, which published audio of the interview. Trump has pushed for schools, businesses and sports leagues to reopen even as cases of the virus rise, and has held campaign events where attendees pack closely together, many without masks.
Take a look at the spin in this CNBC article:
intentionally played down the virus in order not to “create a panic,” - like this was wrong to do.
even as cases of the virus rise - driven totally by the huge increase in testing even while the positivity rate plummets...so a disingenuous statement.
many without masks - implying a cause and effect relationship which is not back by science or real proven data.

It's not so much a problem as it is surprising. Most people consider MDs to be better trained than DOs. Trump is usually big on that kind of thing. Pedigrees, I mean.

Update to yesterday’s column: Notre Dame President Father John Jenkins did test positive after attending White House event without mask, for which he was harshly criticized by his own campus. Oh boy.

I’ll be the first to say I love what Christmas is supposed to be (family, giving, celebrating birth of Christ, time off work and duck hunting) but hate what it has become (corporate consumerism and see who can spend the most on decorations in the neighborhood). It’s supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable time but the consumerism and keep up with the joneses attitudes have made it expensive and stressful for most

I think she was actually trying to help a family but could not because of laws. But, people kept telling her she needed to deal with Christmas decorations. I think the call makes her look good.

Man, if Biden gets COVID it would be brutal. He doesn’t look to be in the best health to begin with.

It’s not that bad. I was 6’6 250 in high school and had 6 pack abs.
I’m 6’6 290 now and just have a little beer belly. There is a big difference in being a bit overweight and being unhealthy overweight. Trump isn’t unhealthy imo, just has some extra pounds like most healthy older men carry.

Even Superman needed time to heal. Perhaps OMB should take a long walk outside

Sorry, friend. "God is in control" is a statement of fact. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord. Hang tight, we're not long away.

Very little daylight nowadays between MD and DO training.

Melania was complaining that all the media wanted to talk about was her Christmas decorations, not her trying to reunite an immigrant mother with her child.
Of course the media only wanted to cover palace intrigue and red Christmas trees.

Just “for a few days.” It means nothing.

Ok, they need to make up their fricking minds: can you get it from not wearing a mask or not? Because for the better part of the last 6 months, they’ve been pushing the line that masks are worn to protect others.
Truth of the matter is, I don’t really think they believe in ANY of the shite they’ve been peddling.

Regarding Update #3:
Love the purple tie. My President is a YUUGE LSU Tiger fan.

As I said in the other thread... EVERYONE that comes into contact with him is tested prior.
If he can still get it, with that level of protection, then nobody is safe. Might as well open up and let things naturally sort themselves out.
IMO, this is a nothingburger, but the left will use it as “He should have worn a mask 100%”... Def one where trumps words especially in the debate about Biden wearing a mask and him not bites him in the arse.
Hope he kicks it in a few days, holds a presser and says “Just like everything else, I dominated the virus and there’s no stopping this pain train”.

They protect you some, and others more has been the consistent mantra. I’m not sure why a concept like that is so hard. They also reduce risk, not eliminate it, to address the other common fake gotcha.

Can't believe people post on Twitter in reply to the POTUS with their name and picture, I'm glad you got it...for everyone to see.
Don't these people have employers?
Hopefully these people get Chik Fil' A-ed.
