For what it's worth I believe 1. He's being tested regularly because the media is asking him constantly about his health because he's out and about vs Biden who is in his basement. 2. More testing means more positive results, the death rate has dropped substantially and so the media is only reporting on new cases. If people aren't dying in big numbers why does the media keep big upping the positive results? Could be they're wanting things to remain closed, could be they're wanting to politically hurt Trump, could be they're suckers for sensationalizing stories.


But that's my take on it.


The whole "flatten the curve"/"slow the spread" thing wasn't supposed to last forever. It wasn't even to limit the number of people who eventually wind up with the virus, it was to keep hospitals and ICUs running at a sustainable level. And I believe we've achieved that.....herd immunity is needed and in order to achieve that people will have to catch this virus and beat it. Without herd immunity we won't be going back to normal and without going back to normal we won't achieve herd immunity.


Again that's what I think, I've got family members who could die if they caught this virus, I'd rather they stay safe. Myself being quarantined and wearing a mask? I don't believe that's helping so much.

It could be, we may never know. If I were in his shoes and saw my staff catching it, my daughter's staff, my VP's staff, campaign staff can't go to a city without catching it, I'd get tested often as well. As far as the media not sure where to draw the line; does that include FOX? As I can't tell the difference in either's narrative today, just that mainstream does it nonstop & Fox begrudgingly: selling bad numbers. Seems he doesnt care what media thinks, neither would I.

Mainstream downs Conservatives for gathering in mass, then say nothing about protests, BLM gatherings; loath to say it, but that is sheer hypocrisy, no way around it.
