So, Trump acts like Covid-19 is no big whoop, yet he, Pence and their close staff members are being tested daily. That's a lot of testing for a nothingburger. Shame some of his supporters don't actually read between the lines.

I'd expect the POTUS and those nearby to all be tested frequently, regardless of their party.
When it started, the reporters were all like "OMG haven't you been tested yet?" Then it was "When was the last time you were tested, how do you know you're actually negative??"
And now this. If you're never symptomatic, what is the reasoning to be tested? Now, since we're led to believe the antibody tests are more numerous, faster, cheaper and still 96%+ accurate - yes, those are of greater value.
To me, the main issue from a health perspective is that it is setting a poor example. His actions seem more focused on how he is perceived than in addressing the pandemic. But if there's a hotspot outbreak of COVID-19 in the WH, things could get bad. Perhaps very bad.
It’s an interesting study in mania, watching progressives fall over each other to be the FIRST to post every single new anti-Trump article they can rustle up on the Internet ... every single day. They are never comfortable with their own beliefs, it seems. They are manically driven to “make others aware” of the things that bother them.

When this first started, new (ordinary) tests for Covid-19 were scarce as companies were just starting to ramp up their mass production. So they limited testing back then, to people who had obvious symptoms (and VIPs). Large percentages of the people showing symptoms, turned out to actually have Covid-19, no real surprise.
But now these newer antibody tests are showing that huge numbers of people who never had symptoms, or had a few mild symptoms nobody though were anything serious, in fact have had Covid-19 sometime in the last several months without ever knowing they'd had it.
Yes, it IS important to be tested, even if you've never had any symptoms. Probably more people have had Covid-19 without ever having significant symptoms, than people who have had it and HAVE had major symptoms.
But even the people who got Covid-19 with few or no symptoms, can likely pass it on to others, some of whom could be badly affected or even killed by it.
People with no symptoms may be even more likely to spread the disease. Because people at least know to stay away from folks who are coughing and hacking, feeling awful, have high fevers etc.
Oh stop it. When Did Trump ever say it was no Big Whoop. Stop the BS already...
When he went on about going from 15 or 16 to 0, theres a ton of examples. Even claimed that this was a talking point that was the democrats new hoax. You know...not something all that important. Someone should stop with the BS all right.
