    I'm sure they are all tested frequently. Yesterday a reporter asked why Fauci didn't wear a mask. He said that the mask is to keep him from spreading the disease to them, and that he had tested negative.

    Yes they are and probably the two most vocal to maintain "social distancing" which makes it even more ridiculous.

    Because the average person lacks their expertise, access to testing and so on. If you're a doctor I'd love to hear your analysis. If not then I stand by my original comment, people wonder about some weird things.

    By the way, welcome to the forum.

    I think you are incorrect about that. I believe it is much more contagious and definitely more lethal and especially lethal for people that are older.
    With all due respect, I have seen no conclusive evidence to back up your thought.

    Compare flu deaths this year to covid 19 and let me know what you find. Get off your panic button, it's getting irritating.

    Not comparing the death rate, but regarding the infection rate what I've seemed to notice is it has hit the "better than us" crowd of celebrities, politicians, higher education leaders, and people in prominent positions.

    I'm guessing airports, airplanes and travel are the common denominator, but that's just a guess.

    That or we all already have it and they're the only ones who got tested.

    That question was asked at the news conference today and I've been wondering the same thing. They make the press people stay 6 feet apart but Trump and Pence crowded up often standing right next to each other or someone else.

    Seems kind of ridiculous to me since if those two guys catch this crap and don't make it, Pelosi becomes president !

    Trumps answer was it's a small podium and press wants to ask them both questions.

    This is the United States of American. The Army Corps of Engineers has built about 25 hospitals in the last week, and you are going to tell me they can not build a bigger podium in that press room, or another press room like the one Cuomo uses ?

    I don't think they should be in the same room anyway. Let them speak over video networks. What a lame excuse as far as I'm concerned. All we need is Pelosi to get her hands in this thing.

    What does anyone else think ?

    HJB,

    BOTH the POTUS & the VPOTUS are "virus clear". = Be not deceived, IF there was any danger, they would NOT be on the podium together.

    yours, satx

    Slow news day, I guess. It seems they are being tested on a relative routine basis, so it looks like they are managing the risk.

    Must be nice to not have any other ways to try and play the OMB game during a press conference.

    I don't..........
    Well first of all, that is not his immediately family and he does not live with all of those people. There were 20 or 25 in his office the other day including Pence and the rest of the key people and another 20 or so that there is not a doubt many are exposed to people outside of that small group.

    And second, it sends a pretty crappy message of "do as I say, not as I do," to the entire world about social distancing.

    I don't have a problem with it......

    I like the example, personally.......

    A few observations from actually listening to some of the briefings rather than just commenting on pictures:

    1. Several weekends ago Dr. Brix was mia. When she returned to the briefing she acknowledged that her absence was due to having a slight fever and she had self quarantined because of that.

    2. There were Several reports that anyone allowed into the room is first being checked for a fever.

    3. Sometime after the 15 minute test was available the President met with a group of business leaders and commented that they were all pleased to know that they had tested negative.

    There is probably even more going on with the Secret Service protecting those two protectees than these acknowledged steps!
