Andrew Guiliani has it too.

And more:

Quote

ANDREW GIULIANI, a special assistant to the president, tested positive this morning and has mild symptoms. NYT’S MAGGIE HABERMAN tweeted that ANDREW was in the news conference Thursday at the RNC. Has RUDY been exposed? She’s also reporting that FOUR OTHERS at the White House complex have tested positive in recent days.

I realized this morning that I hadn't left the house this week except to take out the trash.  Just didn't "feel like it".  Neither has my wife.   Just didn't "feel like it" either.  

It's just scary out there.  And this is in Washington, one of the "good" states.

Samo samo. Wife has taken the dog out for walks, otherwise I've been housebound doing doodleysquat.

I did have a small dust up on Facebook with a good friend restaurant/bar owner that is furious that the latest round of closures requires him to close up by 9 PM. I'm just amazed people are still going out to eat and drink!

[jerseyguy 1,060]

Sailing season is over. Golfing is done for the year. I’m retired. In pre-COVID times I didn’t leave the property all that much. Weekly trip to grocery store.  Gas up the car. Maybe hit one store, typically Target.  Never go to restaurants since my favorite place is under new ownership and the new owners completely changed the format.  So my post-COVID life things have not changed all that much.Grocery store yesterday. Quick trip to Target today.

Biggest change is that I don’t get to see my two youngest granddaughters nearly as much as I used to.  Used to make the 90 mile trip every other week.  Have not been to their house since February.  They made a few day trips to our place this Summer but that is long over.

Glad to have the boat back in the water after spending a couple of weeks doing the bottom and sorting out some issues.  Our replacement prop arrives next week, but it will have to wait a couple more weeks to be installed for the current "don't leave your house unless necessary" orders to expire, assuming they aren't extended.  Band practices are cancelled by the current orders for the next couple of weeks too.

Lots of boat, house, music and website projects to keep me busy, though I need to spend less time watching the post-election trainwreck.  I do appreciate hearing the updates from people in the trenches down there.

I find it very easy to kill off a day without accomplishing much.  Yesterday I put a new roof on the garden shed.  A couple of hours work, then took the rest of the day off.  Retirement definitely does not suck.

Other fact-checkers have agreed with our reading of Trump’s comments. Here’s what they have to say.

Factcheck.org: "Trump did use the word ‘hoax’ but his full comments, and subsequent explanation, make clear he was talking about Democratic attacks on his administration’s handling of the outbreak, not the virus itself."

The Washington Post Fact Checker: "The context of the full quote shows Trump criticized Democratic talking points and media’s coverage of his response to the coronavirus, but does not call the virus itself a hoax."

Snopes: "Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus a hoax."

AP Fact Check: "The accusation is misleading. So is the selective video editing that made it appear Trump was calling the coronavirus a ‘new hoax.’"

Lovely sunny day yesterday. For the first time in months, I had a friend over for lunch. (we are allowed to do that now)

At Twelve O'clock, I realised I had no bread..so I hopped in the car to do the 2km to the french bakery.

Bloody traffic was horrible. ..no, just "normal". People everywhere. Everyone masked.

But fuck, the number of people, the traffic, made me almost wish we could do the Curfew and lockdown thing one week in every month, just to be able to centre and MOVE.

I'm with you M8!!  I don't understand the folks suffering from anxiety and mental issues due to being Covid-19 homebound  lockdown?  I am very content reading books, or watching some Telly?  OTOH, when we return to CT Sunday afternoon, I have to self-quarantine 14 days, before I am allowed back at work.  So, as long as I don't piss off Missus BB, I will be back at work on Monday 12/7.   If you all don't hear from me during that time, then the Missus is the best prime suspect!!

I'm considered an essential worker, and since I was a kid never minded being alone and preferred sailing solo.  This has impacted my travel plans and poker games, but that's about it.

But it's important to understand the circumstances of others.   While you and I are content, others live on the social interaction and many have no idea how they are going to pay the rent that is already several months behind.   I cannot fathom the desperation some are going through right now. 

[Navig8tor 1,060]

I found this helpful while going through lock down here in NZ.

Self testing for Covid-19

Pour a measure of Whiskey, Gin or Rum into a glass and then see if you can smell it.

If you can,  then drink it and if you can taste it it's pretty reasonable to assume you are currently free of the virus.

I tested myself nine times last night and was virus free each time thank goodness.

I will test myself again today because I have developed a headache which can also be a symptom.

Remember be diligent and test often.

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers as Candy and I battled COVID-19. I was extremely sick and initially took Oleander 4X with dramatic improvement.  However, I have several co-morbidities and after a brief period when I only experienced minor discomfort, the symptoms accelerated and I became desperately ill. President Trump was following my condition and cleared me for the monoclonal antibody therapy that he had previously received, which I am convinced saved my life. 

President Trump, the fabulous White House medical team, and the phenomenal doctors at Walter Reed have been paying very close attention to my health and I do believe I am out of the woods at this point. I am hopeful that we can stop playing politics with medicine and instead combine our efforts and goodwill for the good of all people.  While I am blessed to have the best medical care in the world (and I am convinced it saved my life), we must prioritize getting comparable treatments and care to everyone as soon as possible.
 
There are a number of promising treatments that need to be tested, approved, and distributed (sooner rather than later) so that the economy can be re-opened and we can all return to a semblance of normalcy. Also, people should recognize that there are a number of defined steps that legally have to be taken before vaccines are released to the public and trying to cause alarm by saying dangerous shortcuts were taken only serves to stoke fear. Together we will be victorious. God is still in charge.
