      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        At this point have more people in Trump’s entourage been arrested for crimes or infected with Covid?

            As far as I can see, there's nothing concrete being reported about Christie, which is rather concerning.

            I was only joking

                            In a honest moment who would have bet both Christie and Trump would have done so well against Covid. The real question is why is that so surprising.

                                  Since only between 97% and 99.75% of people do this well

                                    Will be interesting to see were IFR falls at it continues to drop as we realize more people have had Covid without knowing.

I was wrong. I was wrong to not wear a mask at the Amy Coney Barrett announcement and I was wrong not to wear a mask at my multiple debate prep sessions with the President and the rest of the team," Christie said in a statement obtained by NBC News.
                                      .
                                      "Every public official, regardless of party or position, should advocate for every American to wear a mask in public, appropriately socially distance and to wash your hands frequently every day. At the same time, we should be reopening in every corner of this nation under these guidelines," Christie said.

At the same time, we should be reopening in every corner of this nation under these guidelines,"

                                        Makes sense. Somewhere I read that if the US had 100% mask "compliance", the COVID could be knocked down in 8 weeks.

                                          In a honest moment who would have bet both Christie and Trump would have done so well against Covid. The real question is why is that so surprising.

                                          If, as is being reported, Chris Christie spent 7 days in the ICU he didn't do that well at all.

                                          I was only joking
