- Did Trump Infect Christie?

Christie still in hospital, called, 'a N.J. fighter.'

There continues to be no new updates as to Christie's condition. I have been checking everyday for news, there just isn't any. The only thing that IS new, is him being called, 'A New Jersey Fighter.' That obviously makes me wonder how sick he really is.This seems to be more than a bit disturbing, at least to me. The median hospital stay for Covid is five days, he is now over that. The last time he tweeted was last saturday, when he said he was going to check himself into the hospital, out of an, 'abundance of caution.' Well, it seems like he made the right decision, considering he is still a patient.

Here is another article about Christie.

- The White House doesn't want contact tracing for its superspreader events, but USA Today is trying, Daily Kos, Oct. 8 https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/10/8/1984771/-White-House-outbreak-may-have-exposed-thousands-to-COVID-19

The White House and a compliant Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are not interested in doing serious contact tracing to determine the impact of the Trumpworld COVID-19 superspreader tour, so it’s fallen to the press to fill the gap. USA Today is attempting to crowdsource contact tracing, and its preliminary look finds that hundreds or even thousands of people may have been exposed, starting with the people who went home from the Amy Coney Barrett announcement party and went about their lives.

At least 12 people who attended that event subsequently tested positive. Donald Trump went on to hold an event for Gold Star families the next day. Adm. Charles Ray, the vice commandant of the Coast Guard, was at that event and subsequently tested positive. Since Ray had, by that time, been in meetings with top military leaders, most of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ended up self-quarantining. It doesn’t stop there.

As we know, Donald Trump had a full week of campaigning, including a debate, a fundraiser and a rally in Minnesota, and a fundraiser in New Jersey. That New Jersey fundraiser had an indoor component with around 18 donors, while around 200 gathered outdoors. At that time, Trump definitely knew that his aide, Hope Hicks, had tested positive for the coronavirus, and Trump was reportedly showing symptoms himself. Several White House staff would go on to test positive in the days after Trump, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Miller, and more.

It wasn’t just Trump, though. Sens. Mike Lee and Thom Tillis attended a Judiciary Committee meeting and a Senate Republican lunch in the days between the Saturday event and their Friday positive tests. Rep. Salud Carbajal, who lives in the same building as Lee and had interacted with him, subsequently tested positive.

> Trump surrogates, including ones who attended the Amy Coney Barrett event or the debate or both, fanned out across the country this week to do campaign events rather than quarantining until they could be sure they hadn’t contracted the virus...

1. after six days it is not looking good for him.

nobody stays six days if they had mild symptoms. He is likely fighting for his life.

2. it appears there is a congested traffic problem....

with his lungs.

He has a history of asthma, and never looked well, especially when he got mad, which was pretty much by the third word in any statement.

3. This Lid On Any Updates About Christie's Condition is Not a Good Sign

If it was good news we would be hearing about it.

4. How could he not catch it

with those two super spreaders in his face?

5. We'll know it's going badly for Christie...

if there are pictures of Jared Kushner smiling.

6. because of his obesity,

i would expect Christie to be one of the more likely to experience critical illness or death from covid. i have no doubt that he is very sick. i saw him on some show shortly after trump admitted having it, and he had assisted trump with debate trump. he looked sick in that interview, and he said they did not use masks during the prep.

i feel as if trump knew he was contagious during the debate and was trying to kill Joe. Possibly same with Pence last night.

7. I guess he doesn't qualify for the magic medicine

Only his supreme highness the Emperor is allowed to get that.
The rest of us peons just have to go ahead and die.

8. He Won't Be Able To Vote For His Hero

His legacy will be of the Bridge Shutdown, his support of Drumpf, his prepping Drumpf for a HORRIBLE debate performance, and his Stupidity that cost him his life.

9. Any updates on Barr?

I haven’t heard a word from/about him since he reversed course and went into quarantine.

10. He must not be the super human physical specimen that Trump is.

He must not be the super human physical specimen that Trump is.
