Joe Biden just threw down the debate gauntlet
Despite having left the hospital last night in deranged fashion, Donald Trump still has coronavirus. He’s still contagious, and he’s rather psychotically spreading it to everyone in his path. Accordingly, Joe Biden has announced that he will not be in Trump’s path.
Joe Biden announced to the media this evening that he will not show up for any future debate with Donald Trump, as long as Trump still has coronavirus. Medical experts suggest that someone under Trump’s circumstances will remain contagious for at least as long as he remains ill, and for 14 to 20 days thereafter. That’s likely to span most or all of the remainder of the presidential election.
In other words, we’re probably not going to see any more in-person presidential debates, and Donald Trump will have to decide whether he’s willing to do them virtually. This is the right move on Joe Biden’s part. He can’t risk being exposed to the virus by Trump, who at this point is resembling Typhoid Mary.
