Link to tweet
Trump donors paid up to $250,000 to have a *buffet lunch* with him in the middle of the pandemic.
That evening, he disclosed that he had COVID-19. There are conflicting reports regarding whether he knew about the diagnosis at the time of the fundraiser.

Oh, brother. If I was one of them, I'd be scared shitless. Fools.

I don't get how grown ass adults are still doing such stupid things. The virus travels through the air and can land on food in an open buffet.
And all maskless and talking and beathing on the food as they serve themselves. Crazy.

(1,200 posts)Oh gahhhh again. Horrid. My sisters MIL passed in march. Had an outdoor memorial gathering in August. My mother knew this woman her whole life as my sis married into a family we knew.
I asked the arrangement. My sister said food made by relatives with some defeat in her voice. A lot of covid deniers. I said we would come, never take our masks off, sit near noone and not eat.
We were the only ones wearing masks. Thats all I have to say. I did what we said we would do and left. & worried for two weeks.

(633 posts)These people were stupid enough to go without even knowing about Trump's covid exposure or positive diagnosis!
What are all these people thinking when they go to his rallies and luncheons or whatever??! They know they're going someplace crowded and they and others don't even wear masks! What the hell is wrong with these people??!!

Ms. Toad
(34,114 posts)Still stupid, but only a fraction as dangerous as an indoor gathering without masks.

(44,974 posts)A lot of people who ended up infected were in front rows at supreme court event.
Ms. Toad
(34,114 posts)But remember they were far less than 6' apart, and the front row seats are always reserved for VIP GUESTS, who also attended a VIP session indoors - no masks, very crowded.
That reception is far more likely the super-spreading event.
