Coronavirus ~ COVID-19

homoe · 10-08-2020, 09:21 AM

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Thursday that next week’s presidential debate will be held virtually, with the candidates participating from remote locations as President Trump continues to be treated for the coronavirus.

But in a phone interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo moments after the format change was announced, Trump said he would not take part.

“I’m not going to do a virtual debate,” he said. “I’m not going to waste my time doing a virtual debate. That’s not what debating is all about. You sit behind a computer and do a debate, it’s ridiculous, and then they cut you off whenever they want.”

On Wednesday, the commission said the Oct. 15 town hall between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden would be held remotely in order to “protect the health and safety of all involved” amid the ongoing pandemic and Trump’s positive COVID-19 diagnosis. The commission said the audience participants and the moderator, C-SPAN’s Steve Scully, would be based in Miami, with Trump and Biden in “separate remote locations.”

Trump’s comments aren’t binding, and he sometimes makes bold public statements while in negotiations, only to compromise afterward.

Speaking to reporters before departing Delaware for campaign stops in Arizona, Biden remained skeptical about whether Trump would actually skip the debate.

Actually you fucking idiot that is exactly what debating is all about. You have a certain amount of time to make your point and then you have to stop. I can see where that would be an unpleasant idea to you since you have never actually debated before.

I agree! He'd NEVER go for something where someone had the power to silence his lying mouth!

And you are right; the debate has been canceled because Trump won't participate.

A 25-year-old was infected twice with the coronavirus earlier this year, scientists in Nevada have confirmed. It is the first confirmed case of so-called reinfection with the virus in the U.S. and the fifth confirmed reinfection case worldwide. The cases underscore the importance of social distancing and wearing masks even if you were previously infected with the virus, and they raise questions about how the human immune system reacts to the virus.

The two infections in the Nevada patient occurred about six weeks apart, according to a case study published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet. The patient originally tested positive for the virus in April and had symptoms including a cough and nausea. He recovered and tested negative for the virus in May. But at the end of May, he went to an urgent care center with symptoms including fever, cough and dizziness. In early June, he tested positive again and ended up in the hospital.

"The second infection was symptomatically more severe than the first," the authors of the study write. The patient survived his second bout with COVID-19.

This is the second confirmed case of coronavirus reinfection in which the patient was sicker the second time. A patient in Ecuador also suffered a more serious case of COVID-19 the second time they were infected with the virus.

Apparently they were saying today on the news that the virus can linger in the air a lot longer than was previously believed. I saw our mayor talking without a mask (but away from anyone) put on his mask and walk away. Immediately another speaker came to the mike and took off his mask and began to speak. This occurred several times between speakers in less than a couple of seconds between speakers. You would think these people on the inside would keep up on what's new before they end up with the virus, which I am glad our mayor did not.

TRUMP gave his son Barron covid-19 ~ he doesn't even seem to have any remorse still walking around being arrogant. ~ he doesn't fail that every day he gives us another reason to disrespect him even more. Barron is 14 years old ~ they don't know what kind of affect this will have on him in time.
