Kemp had to back down and drop his pro-death lawsuit against the mayor of Atlanta, who wanted everybody to wear masks. He previously said he would leave the mask decisions up to local officials. But when she instituted a mask requirement, I think he filed his lawsuit just because she was too "uppity"! Not enough "Respect Mah Authority". Now he just seems pathetic. "If I'm gonna be impotent, I wanna look impotent!"

Once Pence and Trump are out of office, they won't be tested daily and their reckless behavior of non-mask wearing and not social distancing from those around them will catch up to them. 
Contrarian, extraordinaire

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

I see where Abbot has now come up with a 5.00 test and the administration has bought just about all of them. I find that pretty interesting. The FDA will not allow the 1.00 test but they will allow this one. Their druthers seem to lean towards those with the bucks involved. I keep wondering about the gov buying all these tests and vaccines, or supporting them. My wonder has to do with what kind of a taste is rebated to trump as I believe that is happening. If he actually leaves I sincerely hope that Trump gets SERIOUSLY investigated! This was posted yesterday, about the at home 1.00 test: https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020/aug/27/scientists-pushing-home-covid-19-tests-fda/This means the at home test is not dead and may actually come to pass - in, the fullness of time!

It takes about a month to die from Covid-19, if you are going to die. From the White House Lawn Mass Extinction Event, that would put him in a box around the end of September. I wonder who the RNC would enlist to run, if they only had a month?
Of course, that's assuming he caught it there. A much more likely scenario is for the virus to bounce around GOP bigwigs for a while before it gets to Trump. It's really really good at that.

I am not convinced that he is not getting regular shots of his wonder Covid fix right now. I have no idea if that would work but, I think, he has skated so far which has made no sense to me.

There actually is a very expensive monoclonal antibody to spike protein that a California biotech has made. I suspect it has been tested very quietly, because the CEO claimed it works perfectly. This would give you passive immunity for a few months. Then you would need another shot.
It has probably not been mentioned much in the press, because nobody wants to admit there is a prevention that works but costs $120,000? per year.

If Trump is getting it then his apparent pass would be explained. As speculations goes this one is a dandy!

If somebody was getting it on a regular basis, they could be very reckless about catching it. Sound familiar?
I wonder if this is going to be the October Surprise that buries Trump. If they would have announced it months ago, it would be easily justified "to keep the President safe". But then Trump would be open to heavy criticism for letting 180,000 people die while he's safe. Keeping it secret looks better, but the secret revealed after all of Trump's "no responsibility" acts would be devastating for him.

Here's a link to a yahoo story about the University of Alabama fiasco: University of Alabama Fiasco Professors at the University of Alabama's politics department were explicitly told to not tell students if their fellow classmates have been infected with COVID-19 in an email this week They also are allowing students who test positive to attend classes, as long as they wear a mask. And tough sh$t for the student who sits at that desk for the next class. In short, they are violating every public health pandemic suggestion possible. Sound like all the professors are doomed. This is exactly what happens when you let politicians or administrators make health decisions. I can see a lot of these institutions being sued massively for wrongful death and personal injury from neglect.
