Then he shouldn’t have gotten COVID. https://twitter.com/maggienyt/status/1314174353312014336

Lots of folks in my mentions like “God he didn’t choose to get it!” You’re not that stupid, don’t pretend to be. He didn’t require masks around him, he hosted and attended multiple super spreader events. If anyone in America was asking for it, he was.

It’s still close enough to the infection point that it is completely reasonable for someone to be apprehensive about being in literal sitting distance. His staff are still testing positive.

“COVID just happened to him!” I’m old enough to remember when conservatives were about personal responsibility.

Considering how the Trump people didn’t disclose his diagnosis to the Biden team, I wouldn’t trust them about when he last tested negative either. It’s a funny thing, when you continually lie and obfuscate people don’t trust you.

He lived his life with the perspective that he wasn’t afraid of it and it didn’t matter to him if he got it. I’m glad it worked out. But that doesn’t mean that decision came without consequences.
