If you look at the data from worldometer you see that the virus is increasing in Va. Md.and DC.

When looking for trends, be careful with the Worldometer data. Two days this week, Worldometer retroactively added over 700 deaths to this weeks NYS and national count that actually didn't occur this week.

Who knows what other deaths they added.

Just in case anyone is not paying attention, this is more fear-mongering.

The Secret Service is more than just the detail that provides presidential and VIP protection. The Secret Service employs approximately 3,200 special agents, 1,300 Uniformed Division officers, and more than 2,000 other technical, professional and administrative support personnel. They investigate financial crimes, including counterfeiting of US currency and other federal government obligations; forgery or theft of US Treasury checks, bonds or other securities; credit card fraud; telecommunications fraud; computer fraud; identity fraud; and certain other crimes affecting federally insured financial institutions.

In other words, the 11 "active" cases comprise approximately 0.17% of the Secret Service workforce. Few, if any, Secret Service personnel are within the most vulnerable: elderly and with other serious conditions.

The priority should therefore to suspend Secret Service protection for ex-prez and families and all candidates for POTUS, in order to keep the President secure.
It's really a matter of public safety. /rimshot

Who’s to say that they are not contracting a cold or flu?

First, Is the Corona so distinguished that it resembles no other?

Secondly, the WH still has some people who have a reason to report such an increase for wicked purposes. Hard to believe, but who would have thought a FORMER PRESIDENT WOULD BE a scoundrel?

I used to work with a former SS agent who was on Jimmy Carter’s (as a candidate) and Lyndon Johnson’s (as president) details. He said the agency’s #1 activity at the time he was with them was investigating counterfeiting.

Cool story, bro.

BHT...has been around for the better part of thirty years or more, has been approved as a food additive by the FDA as safe for human consumption in small quantities and using common sense....As a prophylactic it would serve its purpose very well until the right vaccine comes along...

Ska-rew the RAT vaccine.!

It may never come into existence, or may even be harmful....especially if Bill (population control) Gates is producing it.

Lemme guess....

You are correct. My daughter and I started taking it because of the coronavirus for an extra measure of protection. So far it seems to have taken care of other viruses we might have been harboring. We are feeling much stronger and well.

No negative side effects noted.

Durk and Sandy made the technique widely known many years ago for herpes viruses. The coronavirus has the right dimensions for it to work on it as well.

Things are coming to a head with Obama’s shadow government being exposed.

It might be prudent to have the VP in another safe location just to make sure a decapitation strike couldn’t put Pelosi in the Oval Office.

The virus isn’t the only thing going on to justify hiding Pence, and perhaps others who are key people. Grassley is also key personnel in the fight.

That’s the thing. Everything we were supposed to be doing was to keep the hospitals from being overloaded. We were never originally supposed to stop the virus! We did that -the hospitals were not even close to overrun.

Herd immunity doesn’t mean no on gets it, it means that the spread is lower (The R rate) and that seasonal impacts become less volatile.

Somehow the media successfully brainwashed people to change the goal from not crushing the hospitals, to no one ever getting it - which is absurd and impossible by design to keep hammering Trump and freedom.

Classic straw-man fallacy.

Of course herd immunity doesn’t stop the spread of a contagion - that’s the whole point. It gets spread around and when enough (70-80%) of us have been exposed, and have become immune, the contagion has too few susceptible targets left to infect, and dies.

This is how we deal with common cold viruses (which ARE corona viruses) and flu viruses each year - without ever resorting to heavy handed government lockdowns.

So to say herd immunity “wouldn’t stop the spread” is disingenuous - it isn’t supposed to stop the spread.

Thank you for your reply.

The sad part about it is that it would take very little for a lab facility to run an actual test to see of how much BHT it will take to damage and render a particular virus inactive. A hunch of mine is that it does not take very much, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of about 400mg-500 mg. In this quantity BHT is probably less harmful and has less damaging side effects than Prednisone and many cholesterol lowering drugs along with many others. In other words the benefits of BHT, not only as a virus disabler but having other benefits as well, far outweigh any imaginary risks. Not only that, as stated earlier this virus will most likely mutate and when it does whatever vaccine has been developed may be less effective or may not work at all. On the other hand BHT does not differentiate as long as it has a lipid cover it will damage such a virus. But once again no money can be made with it.

About ten years ago a cousin of mine had a flare up of herpes and of course there is very little the medical profession has to offer. I was familiar with BHT and she took 450 mg dissolved in olive oil for three days. Less than two days later it all disappeared and she could not believe it. A few years later I believe she had another minor flare up, and once again BHT caused it to disappear. My hunch is that BHT is much easier absorbed when it is first dissolved in oil, my preference happens to be olive oil. In thi case I use a small class bottle filled with 200 milliliters of olive oil and dissolve 18 gr. (eighteen grams) of BHT. In order to speed up dissolving I microwave it for about 35 seconds and shake it a few times. All depending on the size of a tsp (teaspoon) this should give you about 450 mg. Too bad our President doesn’t’ know about it as I would feel much better knowing that it would assure his safety.

I highly suspect this is more about General Flynn charges being dropped.

Looks like Obama’s Deep State is making their move to remove President Trump’s protection.

Check out the phone call Obama was on yesterday and then this.

Seeing report that Stephen Miller’s bride has it as well. Too close for comfort.

There is no “herd immunity” to the common cold.

You can get it and then get it again.
