They probably tested already. However, they can't say they did because it will cause panic. They have to be and are the public face of stability. If they are testing for the virus, then the virus is real and dangerous. They can't have that. In their crazy mind, they have to keep ignoring the virus as if it's nothing, so it doesn't send panic to their people.

Are telling people to do the opposite than they are doing?

And what about people on there task force? Those who know a lot? Wouldn't you be scared to be in the room with them. Ya, you are probably right, they are just lying.

They will just hide for a few days because they can't destroy their own narrative. Just think about how the people and the stock market (in his mind, stock market is the economy) would react if the president of the united stated is inflected.

That's why there's no test for the rest of us

It's just another one of Trump's sleight of hand games he's playing as a distraction

He thought a person who encountered someone who contracted the disease should be tested. But what about trump? "I trust his doctors". So he confirmed the testing without confirming? What person in America would complain that a president was tested? Still think it makes him look stupid not to admit.

If people are talking about his stupidity, they're not talking about his criminality.

He's like a criminal who sets off a hundred fire alarms so nobody notices him robbing the bank.

so they aren't testing him.😳 I am beginning to wonder if some of these leaders haven't tested positive and we just aren't hearing about it. Bolsanaro was with his advisor for days and the look at how many have tested positive in the Iranian government..I assume a few of these people will simply disappear from the spotlight for awhile. Trump is such an attention whore, we will instantly know something is up.

about what kind of very unusual activities they may have been up to, perhaps they snorted Adderall using the same straw?
Seriously though, it's like he's unaware of how the virus works.

theories are real and it is for depopulation, and the 1 percent have the cure or a vaccination...but why would they tell him? Or he is trying to make his base that came up with this shit, actually believe it.
This crap is making me feel like all reality is being snatched from me.

To catch the virus from someone else? Say you encounter a Bolsonaro, would one test after be enough to know you didn't catch it? Or how many subsequent tests do you have to have?

You are right...there's some reason they know Bolsonaro not a threat.

make sense. Of course before this, I would never have even thought about something like that.

someone is proven to be an extraordinary liar and conniver...you don't believe a single word they say after that.

If Dipshit 1 manages to NOT get the virus (after everything he's done & not done, after complete recklessness, bad will & stupidity) I'll finally be convinced he's Satan.

I always got the impression from historical descriptions that the Prince of Darkness was far more charming than this dud.

And if they both announced they had it, the call for them BOTH to step aside would be overwhelming and there is no way they would ever let Nancy Pelosi become President. That is what is happening right now.

If you were exposed at 9 am yesterday, would you test positive at 9 am today? And if negative are you safe forward?

A negative test does *not* mean you are ok going forward.

The first part is trickier. It all depends on variables such as: how many virus particles made contact with you; where they made contact (mucous membranes?); how your body responded to the invader. These factors all influence whether and how quickly the virus is able to gain access to your body's machinery to start producing replicate virus particles to distribute to others.

doing so would a) illustrate he's simply human, and b) illustrate a hypocrisy not even he could lie his way out of.

I'd go so far as to hazard there are more than a handful of infected staff- and administration members throughout the west wing.
