Sorry, I must be a terrible person but this news started my day with a smile. ???

Not a judgement call, simply a fact .. In an act of defiance Trump's family and guests at the debate removed their masks after being seated-

Best tweet of the day, via my adult American niece:

‘Looks like RBJ (the female Supreme Court judge who died recently) successfully argued her first case with God.’ ?

He should never have disregarded her dying wish.....it was beyond evil.

Just concerned about his youngest son. Mum and dad both unwell (though she’s fit and healthy so should be fine), not good. He can’t help who his parents are.
Dad’s an arsehole but I hope he pulls through.
Hopefully with a road to Damascus moment.

The statement is exactly the same as we got re Johnson. Taken to hospital as a precaution, working normally etc etc etc. Who knows? He’ll either get better or he won’t. He’ll have top class care unlike thousands of other CoVID patients many of whom caught the disease because of his failure to act properly

Trump has been hospitalised apparently.

Good news about Biden.

Good post Willow10, exactly how I feel.

Joe Biden has tested negative.

Stranger still his young son Baron has tested negative ummmmm interesting

I doubt if POTUS is a hands on Father especially 31 days away from the Presidential election. Probably doesn’t see that much of Baron.

Fake news. He just wants to be able to 'recover' in record time so he can say there's nothing to it and its just like mild flu and make himself look big and strong.

It would be awful if he really has it and gets really ill. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but I'm afraid my first reaction was that of glee. I just want him to suffer a little bit. Just a little bit. So he can get an idea of what some others are going through and have suffered.

Thanks WWM2

It just means that he has just tested negative....

Are the rules about quarantine the same in the US as they are here?

Yes it is WHO guidelines.

Apparently Pence has just tested negative.

Anyone in contact with someone with covid for more than 15 mins should be in a 14 day quarantine. It doesn’t matter whether they are negative. It means nothing.

Alegrias Fri 02-Oct-20 16:23:35

What biba70, that he's negative?

biba70 Fri 02-Oct-20 16:22:49

You don't actually believe it, do you?

Americans say that they can’t trust the WH and are insisting that the doctors give a statement.

They have the same problem with a liar as we do. Won’t it be wonderful when we get leaders that have integrity, honesty, trustworthiness?

I can think of one wink

I think it's fake news.

Could be!

Seeking the sympathy vote?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 02-Oct-20 15:57:38

According to one of the news channels Mike Pence is going to have to isolate and Nancy Pelosi would be on standby.

I should imagine that a lot of Americans are unsettled by the current unprecedented situation.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 02-Oct-20 15:57:13

There was an American doctor on CNN who said that the three leaders who initially treated Covid with scant regard more so than any other leader and made poor decisions have all contracted covid. That’s Trump, Bolsonaro and Johnson.
