and then into marine 1. I wonder if she also was one of the idiots in Trump entourage in the debate room. The Trump clique refused to wear masks. Maybe the whole tribe including Trump got infected. We can always hope.

(44,973 posts)It was only a matter of time since Trump's posse refuses to wear masks while in public settings.

(7,627 posts)its a bit worrisome. covid has been shown to propagate more in rooms than of course outside.

(44,973 posts)Trump should be in quarantine. And how are you going to have a town hall without people?

(89,244 posts)in first type of debate. The audience was not needed. And entire Trump Trash came out without masks and refused to wear them.
Joe's group could have been around Hicks and Trump people who didn't have a mask.
And if Trump had it during the debate, Joe spent 90 minutes with someone when speaking is worse than breathing.

(10,122 posts)as large as it was, with folks who were not wearing masks for two hours (15 mins before & after the debate).puts everyone there at some risk.
But the Trump campaign definitely has the higher risk if the report is correct: that Hicks flew to the debate on Air Force One

(81,428 posts)During the debate, the venue set up space between seats to help attendees maintain social distancing. It also implemented disinfecting procedures and set up a rapid testing and temperature screening station onsite, NBC News reports. And, according to the Cleveland Clinic's guidelines, everyone in the room should have been wearing a mask.
As health advisor to the Commission on Presidential Debates, we made several recommendations to maintain a safe environment including temperature checks, health screenings, and masking," Cleveland Clinic told SELF in a statement. "Most importantly, everyone permitted inside the debate hall tested negative for COVID-19.
So, in addition to ignoring basic public health safety recommendations, the Trump family also eschewed the venue's guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19 by not wearing their masks during the debate. That's not exactly a comforting example to set in the middle of a pandemic that's already killed 200,000 people in this country.

(44,973 posts)Asymptomatic people can spread virus. Some people have tested negative repeatedly even though they were infected and had symptoms.

(44,973 posts)Even during the debate his posse had no masks on.

(11,446 posts)His aides not family. But your right they would take off. Trump himself might be afraid though just pretending the no mask for his base.

(31,170 posts)No doubt Hicks was close enough to the Trump family to put everyone in the room at risk...and Melania was the only one of the bunch that I saw wearing a mask...

(1,351 posts)Remember the hug Jill Biden gave Joe at the end of the debate? She was wearing a mask. That tells me Joe probably was too except when he was on camera. As far as air conditioning, as long as the venue has good ventilation the risk of virus spread is low.
So Im sure Joe will be ok. I hope Trump is not. I dont want him to die of COVID as I want him to be humiliated with losing the Presidency, but I do want him to become miserably ill.

Perhaps his demise would provide a desperately needed reset.
