Trump's valet has tested positive. Hope he's ok, but on a much lighter note can you imagine being Trump's valet?

"Let me tell you something, Diana," says Burkman. "This guy shut the country down. He put 40 million people out of work. In a situation like that, you have to make up whatever you have to make up to stop that train and that's the way life works, OK? That's the way it goes."
Andrade counters that he and Wohl are not taking COVID-19 seriously. "It's not just any virus. I mean, it's a huge deal….I think you guys think it's something made up, and it's not."
"Mother Nature has to clean the barn every so often," Burkman counters. "How real is it? Who knows? So what if 1 percent of the population goes? So what if you lose 400,000 people? Two hundred thousand were elderly, the other 200,000 are the bottom of society. You got to clean out the barn. If it's real, it's a positive thing, for God's sake."
"So, what? Survival of the fittest?" Andrade asks, a bit more pique in her voice. (The sense you are dealing with people who have an enthusiasm for eugenics can do that.) But Wohl's not having it.
"Diana, look, can you just do this for me?" he says. "Can you just keep your mouth shut and just…just do it for me."

The WH valets don't wear masks. CNN is reporting that Trump is privately questioning if he should be seen wearing a mask, because he thinks that contradicts his reopening message.
That's today's episode of When A Gaslighter Is Confused By His Own Gaslighting
Apparently Trump is tested daily, and doesn't even want to see masks on other people?
Yes it's difficult to understand what people are saying when they're wearing a mask. But I doubt Trump is even listening.
Crowdless footy soon plsLooks like we're back to gatherings of up to 10 people on Monday folks.
Coronavirus infections and COVID-19 deaths have been kept in check in the most populous state. Better yet, hospitalizations for people sickened by COVID-19 appear to have started going down from last week’s peak.
California’s current totals — 54,937 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 2,254 deaths — may sound bad, but some public health experts had expected things to be much, much worse at this point. Instead, hospitals haven’t been overrun with sick people. Bodies weren’t stacked up in trucks. And now, after weeks of furious efforts to increase capacity, testing is up to 30,000 people a day statewide. The state has 24 million medical-grade face masks for healthcare providers. More than 10,000 ventilators are sitting idle, and there are 2,072 empty hospital beds.
These are more than just encouraging statistics. Together they mark an important inflection point for the state.
I feel a mix of angst and pessimism that we did this for 60+ days and it will be all for naught because we'll open up too soon and see the spike we would have had in March if we didn't do this shit in the first place, and people would just look the other way because we're all angsty balls of stress from being locked up for 60+ days.Anyone else actually feeling less optimistic? I’ve been feeling the dread creeping in more and more as this thing doesn’t seem to be getting better fast enough. I now have friends with dead parents because of COVID.

The work being done with convalescent plasma and monoclonal antibodies is truly remarkable and could serve as a bridge to a vaccine. It's a souped-up version of a treatment we've been using for over a century; five different companies are working towards locating powerful antibodies, cloning them and developing a drug from them that can be brought up to scale.

While I never underestimate the Trump administration's ability to fuck something up... I think that ship has sailed.This is where I’m at. I have friends who are fooled into thinking since states are opening back up then summer fun is on the way. I ask them where did the virus go ?
My biggest dread is with the Trump admin. I cannot think of one single policy, one action they have taken this entire 3+ year that hasn’t turned into a complete disaster. His pandemic response is just like his business model. Lots of talk, gets people to build something, then walks away and screws everyone over.
I’m concerned about the reaction of people who will be told to shelter in place again in 3-4 weeks when cases skyrocket.
And let’s not even mention the anger if/when there’s no football this fall
Pence's press secretary tested positive. Katie Miller, wife of Stephen Miller. Looks like a possible WH community spread.
Stephen “children in cages” Miller?
