USA Today researched the events known WH covid individuals went to across the country and numbers they came into contact with based on photos taken during planned events (clearly a spread would go beyond what was captured) to see the extent of possible spread.

I really wouldn't worry about this, personally. I'm not saying that it's not possible, and for sure it seems prudent for infected people to be careful for a few weeks after they clear symptoms.
But I would not worry about it, at all. Getting the disease from someone who is infectious is a much bigger concern.
Coronavirus is not a retrovirus like HIV, etc., so this is not a concern for COVID, is my understanding. It's an RNA virus.
It uses RdRP (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) to reproduce, and does not take over cell machinery via incorporation into DNA and transcription from that source.
In general, for viruses, this IS a concern, though. For example, HPV (a DNA virus!) integrates into the genome and often part of its genome results in an oncogene and is thought to be a main driver of cervical cancer.
Hence, the reason it is important for young people to get vaccinated against HPV - both male and female - it can reduce the risk of cervical cancer.

A lot of virus particles at the 3:14 mark or so. (That's probably a fatal dose!) At least he's outside. Not a lot of doubt about who is the superspreader!
No live interviews or videos yet...
So Regeneron is created as I understand with human and mice foetal embryos. So he’s all in on that now?
As a therapeutic (trump says cure) how fast can Regeneron be manufactured in what kind of quantities? No idea how long this kind of product takes. Also for those in the know was this the compassionate drug used and if so what stage of trials is it in?

what’s with the red circled areas in the photos you posted?
There’s a Twitter Video Link in the article I posted above. About 4:30+ minutes long.

I have a keen eye for fatal doses of coronavirus, let's just put it that way. And that's just the stuff you can see!
It's a pre-recorded video - it is not a live audio or video interview (though I do expect one of those within the next few days, inshallah).
I see from a Newsweek article on Apple News (not showing up on Newsweek’s site yet) that after 2 negative test results Rudi is taking
hydroxychloroquine. The interview was on Bloomberg TV.
“In a Wednesday interview, Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to Republican President Donald Trump, revealed that he is taking the anti-malaria medication hydroxychloroquine in order to prevent a possible COVID-19 infection. The drug has not been medically proven to prevent or treat any symptoms of coronavirus.
....Giuliani said he would receive another COVID-19 on Friday and added, "My doctor has already prescribed hydroxychloroquine which I'm taking every day now for five days as a prophylactic."”

by definition thats really difficult to tell because.
Effective contact tracing denies coronavirus the chance to grow anyway. (ie NSW)
Ineffective contact tracing doesn't seem to magically work better once the spread has developed (ie Victoria)
If a state has good test, trace & isolate, then it never gets to a widespread stage anyway....
bigger issue is that effective contact tracing seems incompatible with effective lockdown, its one or the other.
so the choice is
weak lockdown with strong contact tracing (NSW)
or
strong lockdown with weak contact tracing (Victoria)
or weak lockdown and weak contact tracing (Europe and USA)
or brutal lockdown and brutal tracing (China)

So there’s been a lot of post-debate conversation about Pence’s left eye looking possibly like pink eye, a symptom of covid. I noticed that his left eye’s pupil is much larger than his right’s. So is this significant in any way? Two different views:
I looked up past images of him and his pupils looked to be the same size in prior photos BTW.

testing is different to derived.
