First Family Ostentatiously Flouted the Rules

quote:
A little more than two days before she reported testing positive for the coronavirus, first lady Melania Trump — as well as the president’s sons, daughters and several guests — violated safety protocols at the first presidential debate by taking off their masks after being seated in a live studio audience in Cleveland.

Several in the president’s entourage continued without masks after an official from the Cleveland Clinic, which co-hosted the debate, offered them masks in case they didn’t have any, according to debate moderator Chris Wallace. “They waved them away,” Wallace said on Fox News on Friday morning.

It was a violation of rules that both campaigns agreed to, Frank Fahrenkopf, head of the Commission on Presidential Debates, said in an interview with The Washington Post.

“The first family came in wearing masks, but they took them off. The rules said you had to wear a mask,” Fahrenkopf said. “Everyone in that hall was supposed to keep the mask on, other than the president, Biden and Chris Wallace.”

If Don Jr. or Ivanka just happen to sicken and die of this disease, I will feel just as much sorrow for them and for their families as I did for Herman Cain and his, which is to say not much beyond the normal politeness one uses in the face of someone's loss. These are truly sh!tty human beings.

I read it was polyclonal antibodies.

This Twitter thread says that giving him the Regeneron cocktail for "compassionate use" was highly unusual.

Rumor has it that the guy who runs Regeneron is a golfing bud.

Very disappointed in the Cleveland Clinic, where the debate was held. Their rules stated everyone had to get tested and everyone had to wear a mask. The Repub delegation ignored all of that and now people are getting sick.

Hospital security should have escorted every one of them off of the premises as soon as they showed up. Instead they capitulated to wealth and power.

Disgraceful. Let the lawsuits commence.

Good point about the pulse ox. But sending someone to the hospital "early" on that basis is associated with much better outcomes.

What better way to sell snake oil treatments than by "getting sick" and then making a quick recovery...

I'll wait and see.

Why are you angry? They made poor choices and are paying the price.

Well, two GOP members of the judiciary committee have now tested positive. If they're quarantined, can the judiciary committee hold hearings and vote? Right now the score would be 10-10.

Is she still in the same house with George? If so, he is at risk from her callous choices.

Have friend who is a medical geek. She was on a zoom call today with other geeks, one of whom is a molecular geneticist (I think). That person was wondering why they gave such a large dose of the Regeneron product to the president; apparently injecting a large quantity of proteins into a person can have undesirable results.

They couldn't understand why such a lightly tested product was being used on POTUS.

Ya gotta wonder....

I’m angry because stupid people politicized a disease they knew to be lethal, lied about it, and exposed others when they knew they had been exposed. All of us have lost freedom, or jobs, or wealth, or more.

And 200,000+ people paid with their lives.

Does that sum it up, Jodi?

’Cause his pulse ox was dipping and he was freaking out and demanding the maximum dose.
