I must say that I’m taking extreme pleasure in seeing the president of Notre Dame come down with Covid.
They were threatening to expel students who defied mask and social distancing rules to go to college parties.
He flies to Washington DC on the university’s dime to party and celebrate ramming through a right wing Catholic SCOTUS appointee and gets Covid. For exactly the same kind of partying that they threatened to expel students for.
Apparently the campus newspaper is now calling for him to be fired.

@danielx: That would be an even bigger score than Trump. I don’t dare hope.

It’s WAY too early for testing to put him in the clear.
Unfortunately same goes for Biden.
Personally if we are rooting, I’d be rooting for Chief Justice Roberts who was there too.
Shalimar
3 points.
1) suspected timeline on Conway suggests she caught it Saturday, so she would not have been contagious during that exchange with Barr;
2) It seems to have been memory-holed, but Conway was co-campaign manager with Bannon. So 2 of Trump’s 6 campaign managers tested positive on the same day;
3) There seem to be 3 candidates so far for patient zero. Barrett had it at some undetermined point in the summer, which only ended 10 days ago. McDaniel was tested because a colleague had it, not because of this event. Same for Jenkins of Notre Dame.
Kent
If he is there for testing and observation because they have better facilities than the White House then fine. If he is truly being hospitalized then something is amiss.

She had it “over the summer.” Last day of summer was the 21st.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: Conway’s daughter says she is angry because her mom was around the house all day without a mask even though she already had a positive result back that she lied about. Christie had a test at roughly the same time as Conway but hasn’t revealed the result. Not evidence, but suspicious.

@Kent:
Well, if a couple of GOP Senators get ill and, Amy Covid Barnett can’t get confirmed, and the Roberts gets it and gets so ill that he decides to retire, then there would be two vacancies to fill come January. Wouldn’t that be a massive plot twist?
Jesse
That tweet about “all those Democrats not getting this”. That’s really stunning and reflects a new twist of all-too-typical right-wing thinking about covid. Think it through: it seems that that guy honestly thinks that Dems somehow are able control the virus and give it to Trump etc. while being able to avoid getting it themselves. “Why?!”, he wonders. I can’t help but wonder if this guy is actually just one step away from realizing that covid is real, or is stepping even deeper into the looking glass.

I wish the media pundits and everyone else understood the vocab of this virus. If you have the virus you are not in quarantine. You are in isolation.
Trump has dumbed down the US media in regard to covid-19 compared to every other country in the world
If you have been in close contact with someone who has the virus, you put yourself into quarantine. If you have a test & do not have the results, you put yourself into quarantine.
RaflW
Will Delta ban those three embarrassments from MN? They certainly should, as they violated published DL policy (and all the other pax on the 40% full flight now should isolate and test).
Delta has come down hsrd on mask-scoffs before, including famous people. But we’ll see.
Other tweets today (not gonna look now it’s late!) showed a different GOP Senator with his mask on his throat, and clearly on a Delta flight per the seat color/trim.

I haven’t heard of McConnell being at the Rose Garden Nomination celebration. Was he there? If not, why not? Was he not invited? Did he have something better to do? Or was he too smart to hang around Trump administration Covid deniers?

So, possible scenario:
ACB gets contacted about the Supreme Court gig shortly after RGB’s death. ACB at that point knows she has Covid, but she also knows that, because of the rush to ram the confirmation through, if she says that, they will pick someone else. So she lies about it, goes to the show on Saturday, and infects a large number of people.
TS (the original)
@Brachiator:
I didn’t say it was – but as far as the virus is concerned the difference is important – could be why the US cases keep rising.
Isolation when you have covid keeps you away from all other people. Quarantine is a safety precaution – families often stay together.

@cliosfanboy: Likely his oxygen levels fell a bit or his fever climbed. Otherwise, being the baby he is, he cried so hard to go, they finally called the helicopter. Your choice – selecting all three is also a correct answer.
