COVID Update October 2: Half the states or more are quickly growing cases and people who wear masks aren’t getting as sick.

And we have some absurd stuff going on. 1/

Let’s start with absurd. Mr. Pillow takes an extract from the oleander plant and says with confidence he won’t get COVID-19.

If you see him, stay away just in case. 2/

People visiting the White House like Father Jenkins get told if they take a quick test, they can sit elbow to elbow with others in a Rose Garden ceremony. He did.

Then went back to Notre Dame with a new gift he brought to the campus. COVID. 3/

Three Republican Minnesota Congressmen were exposed to Trump on Air Force One amd boarded a Delta Flight TODAY. This is expressly against airline rules. And human rules.

Emmers, Stauber, Hagedorn shame shame shame. 4/

Scott Atlas, the White House “Scientific” Advisor is feeling his oats, assuring the country that “the President will recover.”

If anyone would be confident enough to know, it would be him. Just the same, I would request a qualified physician if I were the president. 5/

Scott also brazenly said “it is hard not to get the virus.” With all due respect Scott, we’re at our 15th minute. It’s been grand.

Shit has been real for a long time. But now your cavalier approach to people “living” may be even less popular. 6/

The president knew he was exposed to someone with COVID-19. What did he do? Decided to get in a helicopter and go meet with a bunch of donors at his gold course. Only when he started to feel sick, did the charade end. And information began to leak out. 7/

There’s a good chance, the President received an actual positive test a day earlier. Before he left for Bedminster we don’t know. But why wouldn’t he get one after Hope Hicks tested positive? 8/
