Trump is 'clearly flirting with disaster' by holding rallies and not wearing a mask, health expert warns
CNN ^ | July 2, 2020 | Shelby Lin Erdman and Paul LeBlanc

President Donald Trump is "clearly flirting with disaster" by holding rallies and attending events without wearing a mask, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who was an adviser to the White House medical team under President George W. Bush, said Thursday evening.

"Just because he's tested frequently -- (it) isn't a Superman cape. He can get the virus," Reiner told CNN's Kate Bolduan on "OutFront." "The more he flirts with this, the higher the likelihood that he'll get it." The President, Reiner continued, "is over 70 and he's obese. He probably has close to a 20% chance of dying if he contracts the virus." The doctor's message comes one day before Trump plans to travel to South Dakota for a fireworks celebration at Mount Rushmore, where those attending are not required to wear masks or to social-distance, according to the state's governor.

Yep. This whole “shut down” charade was to flatten the curve so hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. Now the goal posts have been moved to some weird “stay home, wear a mask” in hopes it will somehow die out.

It’s a virus, no matter how hard you try, it will spread and infect people.

Seems like they would be encouraging him to not wear the mask and have rallys.

Back when Himself had a paint booth for clearing, I painted Dark Kingdom and The Death Dealer on Harleys.

Good times.

Not to worry, covid-19 will magically disappear if Trump goes to a BLM rally instead of a Trump rally. It’s science.

If you don’t want to worry about infectious LIPID COATED viruses, such as the corona virus, swine flu, herpes etc…..there is always BHT, one of the best kept secrets…..

BHT (butylatedhydroxytouluene) which disables most lipid coated viruses including the corona virus, influenza, shingles and herpes amongst many others. Suggested starting dosage is anywhere from 250mg to 450mg can be doubled for several days, but suggested to remain in the 500mg range or below. For better absorption it is recommended to dissolve BHT first in oil, olive oil will do nicely and to speed up dissolving a few seconds in a microwave or set the container with the oil solution in a hot water bath. Why dissolving in oil first? BHT will only dissolve in either oil or alcohol and by going this route it will speed up absorption and you get by using smaller amounts of it.

One suggested way is to take 200ml (milliliter) of olive oil and dissolve 18 gm of BHT, or 277.782 grains if you using a powder scale used for re-loading. Each tsp. depending on its size should give you approx. 450 mg of BHT. It is better to be pro-active by taking BHT, even so BHT will still kill the virus but it cannot cure any of the other problems which the virus may have created. I hope they come up with a vaccine, but would not hold my breath. More detailed info upon reply.

And the President is probably taking HCQ, etc.

He was, but has announced that he no longer is.

Pennsylvania's big purple Tranosaur sings:

"My mask protects you
Your mask protects me
I'm a male balding trannie
With an elbow bump
And air kiss to you
Mask it up to love me too."

People should wear masks and call the rallies a protest that should work since they say there were no spikes due to the protests.

I believe that technically obesity is weighing more than 10% over your ideal weight. So if Trump should weight 180 lbs and he actually weighs 200, he is obese. I am obese under those terms. Of course “obese” conjures up images of the morbidly obese.

I think that the whole “ideal weight” standards are based on stats from long ago and are simply out of touch with today’s reality. I’m not talking fat either. People are simply taller and heavier than in the past.

What is the most obvious answer on why one wouldn't have to wear a mask?

Hint: How many people have gotten the Wuhan twice?

Obese is defined as a BMI over 30. For a 6’3” person (Trump’s claimed height), a weight of 243(Trump’s claimed weight) calculates to a BMI of 30.4.

Hence, Trump is obese.

I don’t get why he doesn’t just do them outdoors.

"Not wearing a mask in public is like driving drunk," says Dr. Jonathan Reiner, Cardiologist and Professor at George Washington University.

And while we are at it, remember Kaci Kickox, the RN who traveled abroad to treat Ebola patients - but was forced into quarantine upon arrival in NJ by then-Gov Christie (not my favorite go, btw)? She then sued and settled out of court. Well, Dr NeverTrumper Tweeted " RN Kaci Hickox should be welcomed back to US as a hero not imprisoned by politically ambitious governors masquerading as decisive. #Ebola

So....let me get this straight...Dr. Reiner calls the RN who treated EBOLA but wouldn't self-quarantine and complained about her forced quarantine (she had an elevated temperature) a "hero," but anyone who doesn't wear a mask in the midst of COVID19 is akin to a drunk driver...
