"That should never have happened," said one USSS agent of Trump's drive-by yesterday -- 1 of 4 current agents who spoke to CNN. Concocted by a bored president and a tiny group of aides at Walter Reed, the image compounded a sense of deep mismanagement. cnn.com/2020/10/05/politics/…

Seriously though, this is messed up. The death threats towards us should have been taking more seriously by @TwitterComms

William Barr wants you to know that the left has embraced a pathological licentiousness that puts individual gratification above the common good -- and also, if you think he's giving up White House luncheons just because he's been exposed to a COVID carrier, you're trippin

If Biden was on oxygen in the hospital with COVID Trump would fundraise off of it and start calling him Infected Joe at rallies to huge laughs

MY TAKEAWAYS:
The timeline is off. 72 hours since his diagnosis?
He was clearly on oxygen at some point. I mean, come on. This is important.
No answer on steroids (it was asked). That would be very very revealing.
We don't know his last negative test. We need to know.

Conley very specifically not answering whether POTUS has been on oxygen at any point. Two sources close to POTUS tell me his blood oxygen levels dropped yesterday.

Conley says we are 72 hours into the diagnosis. We were told around 1 am on Friday morning that POTUS was positive, which is only 36 hours ago.

If there ever was a must-read: this hell of a story, quite literally, from @PhilipRucker @jdawsey1 @AshleyRParker @costareports. The photos alone will blow your mind; and the description of cavalier, terrible judgment at the highest level of government

Yeah, March 6 was my last social or work interaction with people outside my household... and also my last airplane flight.
Haven't done that since I got home that day.

Four years ago, today: Donald Trump was mocking Hillary Clinton for contracting an illness - pneumonia - and implying that it showed she was weak.

Are the President's odds better because he's a VIP? I'm not convinced that VIPs get better care, and the literature is unpersuasive. They get more attention–but risks include chaotic lines of command & patients dictating their own non-evidence-based care (see: Jobs, Steve). (1/2)

Timely reminder that on debate night, members of Trump family and Trump administration did not wear masks, which were required by the Cleveland Clinic. A doctor approached the Trump guests, offering masks and reminding them to put one on – but nobody did.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

I hope POTUS, FLOTUS, and Hope Hicks recover quickly. But make no mistake: this reflects dereliction of duty in the way that the WH runs under pandemic. It increases risk for everyone. Beyond irresponsible.
