I thought hope Hicks got it and he got it from her.

I don't really care either way. At this point giving someone COVID isn't really as threatening as it would've been 5 months ago

It was more lethal because nobody knew how to treat it so they were just throwing anyone with it on a ventilator.

It was never very "lethal". Like all respiratory viruses, co-morbities, age and weakened immune status are the larger contributors to mortality i.e. why tens of thousands of people die from flu each year.

POTUS & FLOTUS will be just fine, they may not even show any symptoms as the current tests are worthless. They will be able to get actual viral culture testing, not the indirect RT-PCR and seroconversion tests that are in widespread use.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying.

While the virus isn't different, our reaction to it is. 5 months ago they were just intubated anything that walked & had COVID. This most likely hurt more than it helped. The sad reality is there were probably a lot of preventable deaths early on if people hadn't freaked out.

Now that doctors understand this and they're not going over the top, it-and the medical reaction, are not going to be as dangerous.

I heard she tested positive for it first. Potus and flotus quarantined themselves and got tested when they heard the news while waiting for the results.
