Is Donald Trump a coronavirus carrier?

NWRatCon · Mar 13, 2020

Mary Mallon was born in 1869 in Cookstown, County Tyrone, in what is now Northern Ireland. She migrated to the United States in 1883 or 1884. She lived with her aunt and uncle for a time and later found work as a cook (ironic, that) for affluent families.

From 1900 to 1907, Mallon worked as a cook in the New York City area for seven families. In 1900, she worked in Mamaroneck, New York, where, within two weeks of her employment, residents developed typhoid fever. In 1901, she moved to Manhattan, where members of the family for whom she worked developed fevers and diarrhea, and the laundress died. Mallon then went to work for a lawyer and left after seven of the eight people in that household became ill.

Over the course of her career, she used a number of names, and is believed to have infected 51 people, three of whom died, with typhoid fever, and the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the disease. She became known, colloquially, as "typhoid Mary", and was incarcerated for the remainder of her life for refusing to acknowledge her status as a carrier or get treatment.

Donald Trump refuses to be tested for COVID-19. Trump met with Brazilian official who tested positive for coronavirus (Guardian). Australian official who met with Ivanka Trump and Barr last week tests positive for coronavirus (CNN). Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Tests Positive for Coronavirus Days After Meeting With Trump: Reports (Daily Beast).
Trump and Pence Won’t Be Tested After Meeting With Infected Brazilian Official
(NYT).

What if we've got the sequence wrong? All of these officials tested positive after meeting with Trump (or his family). What if they got their exposure from him? Is he "COVID Don"?

Ha! Great point! I guess people around Trump should think about that!

And maybe he is finally going to declare national emergency today because a (secret) test showed that he DOES have the infection.

If so, the recent Oval Office address can be viewed in a different light.......

Two possibilities:

1. He's lying and both he and Pence have been tested and are currently awaiting results <--- most likely
2. He's telling the truth and he's even more of an idiot than we thought.

Either way, the mango menace continues to show his negligence, ignorance and total lack of caring for anyone but himself.

Here we go. Is there a tin foil hat folder that this can be moved to? It doesn't belong here.

He speaks at 3. I suspect he will be even sicker then he was the other night.

We don't know now, do we?

A real leader would show some leadership and move to the beginning of the testing line. He would might make a photo op out of it. It would clearly send the message that everyone should be tested as ANYONE can be infected.

But, we know he is not a real leader and we know nothing scares Trump more than the truth.

As Dick Nixon once said... "...The country needs to know that their President is not going to croak..." or, something like that.

Amazing, you have privy to (secret) White House info.

Just following the facts...I know, nothing you're familiar with.

President Donald Trump will hold a press conference on Friday afternoon amid confusion and chaos about the coronavirus after reports Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who dined with him on Saturday at Mar-a-Lago, tested positive for the disease but then said a second test showed a negative result.

I watched the press event today and cringed. All of these speakers sharing the microphone with Trump, the covid-spreader-in-Chief.

Woo-hoo! They're coming to take you away, ha, ha... they're coming to take you away, ha, ha... You might be wearing two hats today. I think the left is going to cause a Reynolds Wrap shortage!

I don't know the answer to your question, but the out of the box thinking made me smile.

And your typhoid Mary reference just made me think of what Trump would say about immigrants...

There is Twitter talk that he has been vaccinated which, if true, would be very suspicious—to say the least.

Vaccinated with what? Sounds like Twitter bull**** to me.

Yes Anthony, some thoughts are just too frightening to discuss, eh?

Once is a coincidence. Twice it's suspicious. Three times is a pattern. What's this? Trump shared table with another Mar-a-Lago guest who tested positive for coronavirus: White House doctor (CNBC). (I think it has become habit. )

The theory (mind you it's Twitter): US WMD purposely released in Iran, after killing that guy they droned, and a part of China in order to shift blame. US military has a vaccine in hand for the "special people."

Odds are it is bull****. But, with Trump? I'm giving it some credence.

There isn't a vaccine yet. Vaccines take time even if one is rich and powerful.

Then it did its job.

I had the same thought about Mary being a "foreigner." Mary was not, by the way, the only such "carrier". She was just particularly obstinate.

Trump says he took coronavirus test as those around president, Pence have temperatures monitored (USA Today). Anyone want to step up to the betting window?

I will make this observation: Trump has looked ill at his last two public appearances. I had attributed it to his temperment and being forced to contend with reality, something he's uncomfortable with.

Nah, that's much too ridiculous to even give credence.

Is Donald Trump a coronavirus carrier?
