Alright, so we know that Trump and the wife have tested positive for Coronavirus. This comes not long after Hope Hicks had tested positive and began to show symptoms Wednesday. Here she is on her way to board the Marine One with others that same Wednesday along with Stephen Miller, Jared Kusher and others.
In addition MSNBC has put together a list of Hicks has been traveling with (likely in the past few days), that being the following:
- First Lady Melania Trump (+ Donald Trump)
- Rep. Jim Jordan
- Alice Marie Johnson
- Robert O'Brien
- Rudy Giuliani
- Mark Meadows
- Ivanka Trump
- Jared Kushner
- Donald Trump Jr.
- Kimberly Guilfoyle
- Eric Trump
- Lara Trump
- Tiffany Trump
- Derek Lyons
- Bill Stepien
- Jason Miller
- Kayleigh McEnany
- Gaby Hurt
- Dan Scavino
- Stephen Miller
In addition, just two days Mark Meadows had met with a few other political figures seen here including Mitch McConnell, Amy Coney Barrett and even Mike Pence. All maskless.
Worst case scenario for the Republicans this brings a halt to business within Congress, including the nomination of Barrett (unless these fucking boomers learn how to use Zoom on a short notice).

ok, I don't know what the test situation is in your country (wherever that is)
In the US, it's the opposite. Also, runny nose is not at all a common symptom of coronavirus, for the record.
That's funny. Here in the Netherlands they give what they call a nose-cold as the first symptom to watch out for. Weird how we're all told different shit, right?
Edit: BTW they test by jamming a litlle brush up your nose and twisting it and the jam one down your throat. What do they do in the US? Do you know?
In the US, we have nose swab tests. Maybe a few places use throat swab, but I've never seen one in NY. And I've been tested like 20 times
Yeah, the actual symptoms are nondescript, here they always say "flu like symptoms" and "loss of taste/smell". But from doing extensive talking with COVID sufferers, virtually nobody gets a runny nose. Post nasal drip yes, but not a runny nose.
