Oh I wish Joe had worn a mask at the debate!

I'm really worried. They'll be another Biden test today. Two negatives so far. Wish there had been plexiglass around the podiums, not that Shlump would have stayed behind his.

Please be okay Joe and family!

He was more focused on someone in the audience and communicating with his body language that 'this idiot is showing the country how stupid and nuts he really is' during the debate. The only real time he squared up to tRUMP was when he scolded him about his sons, otherwise he chose to make a point to not even look at him and/or look away from him.

Early on tests don't necessarily pick up the virus.

That’s why he “missed” the test.
Maybe it’s why he was so hyped up and couldn’t control himself. Nerves. He was freaking out!

I’m worried for Joe too.

If he has no compunction potentially affecting donors, why give a shit about his opponent? Jaime Harrison did the right thing with the plexiglass partition

with good ventilation. It served as an emergency Covid ward earlier this summer. And I feel sure its chief engineer had the dial cranked all the way to the right. So to speak.

Wallace was just as likely to get it as Joe. The Trump kids were also there unmasked and sofar have not tested positive.

We just have to hope Trump wasn't that infectious at that point, and that the ventilation system (Cleveland Cliniic iirc has a good one) prevented spread.
