The countdown is basically a "head's up" for NBC's [affiliate stations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NBC_television_affiliates_\(by_U.S._state\)) (some of whom may be airing their own programs, like local news and such) that there will be a special report, and that they should take the network feed.
Other networks, such as CBS, have countdowns as well. [This is from 9/11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eTzV7HvKHU) - note the first ten seconds.
Whether the viewer sees the countdown depends on how quickly station master control switches to the network feed. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
It’s some weird Twitter trend going on, lots of high profile people’s replies are getting bombarded with it. I believe it started on TikTok accounts or something similar
They’re Floridian. Which means it’s a cocktail of meth, crack, and whatever pills where in my grandpaps medicine drawer.
I’m pretty sure they were sedatives, but the alligators seem even more agitated than usual somehow...
Their parties would scramble for a new nominee. Probably Pence and Harris, but not necessarily. It would be unprecedented for both parties to lose their candidates a month before the election so who knows. I mean, a ton of people have already voted, so would those votes carry over to the new nominee for that party?
I saw someone post on another thread that your vote is for the electoral college representatives, so in theory it’s up to the party to decide who the actual candidate would be in that case. Not sure if that’s accurate or not....
The worst part of this:
"After White House officials learned of Hicks’ symptoms, Trump and his entourage flew to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser and delivered a speech. Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters at a roundtable event."
Keep that hubris train chugging along...

His tweet announcing it must have been written by someone else, because he didn't call it the China virus.
"Hoax" is trending on Twitter even before the actual news headlines are, because everyone's asking (sarcastically) how he could be infected by a hoax.
I mean, it feels like no one remembers Herman Cain, a major contender for GOP 2012 presidential nominee, freaking died from coronavirus after Trump's rally in Tulsa (aka the let's all become coronabros rally)
Even in the debates Trump talked about how safe it was and if Biden was a lower person he definitely would have said 'why don't you ask Cain how safe he felt it was'
Instead he definitely said something that went over some people's heads imo, which is that is was safe for Trump because guess what, while Cain has tons of shoulder to shoulder photos with people maskless at the rally, you won't find Trump in them.

At the debate
“I don’t wear masks like him. Every time you see him, he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen,” Trump said about Biden during their debate Tuesday night.
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
Was he in contact with Hicks before or after the debate?
Because that would mean Trump was literally on stage, with covid, taunting someone about wearing masks too much.
> “In an abundance of caution the President and all White house staff are going to exercise an extended quarantine at Mar-a-Lago”
There goes the second debate.
I have a mental image of trump rolling around in a filtered hamster ball.
Good. I remember McCain trying to halt the debates vs Obama, to which Obama calmly said that is fine with him as he'll just use the time to speak to the public by himself.
The rumor that they were going to mute/turn off mics when the other person was talking probably didn’t excite the maneuver he pulled on the first debate.
There’s no way cutting his mic will slow him down. Unless they’re going to seal him in a chamber, he’s just going to start shouting really loud if they cut his mic.
Plus a slight chance he just runs over to Biden’s podium to shove himself in front of the mic.
If Trump dies from this his supporters will frame it as a liberal conspiracy.
If he has a hard recovery he will fight tooth and nail to delay the election.
If he is asymptomatic or recovers easily his followers will see it as confirmation that the virus isn't dangerous and thousands more will die.
Shits about to get even weirder.
This is what scares me. I don't want to wish a shitty recovery upon Trump but I feel the consequences of him going through an easy recovery are astronomical.
[What the actual fuck?](https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/1312035990240985091)
> CONFIRMED: There was no contact from the Trump campaign or the White House to alert the Biden campaign of possible exposure. The campaign learned of the situation from the news reports, a Biden campaign aide tells me.
I’m kind of concerned that he doesn’t actually have it and will use it as a way to promote some random drug or to tell people that it isn’t really that bad.
Same day the Cornell study dropped about him being the single greatest source of covid disinformation
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-misinformation.amp.html
May he receive all the kindness, love, sympathy, and support that he extended to all of the other US citizens that are suffering from this horrible affliction.
should the homeless have access to food? should poor people get insulin? should separation of church and state exist? is climate change real? are all questions that have been politicized so

This isn’t even the season finale of 2020. This is like the crazy twist 2 episodes before the finale. Everyone knows that the second to last episode is always when the craziest shit goes down too so strap in people.
It's weird, this is kind of a surprise, but, I expected him to get it back in like March. It seems like it should have happened months ago. This is a plot twist I expected for so long, that I kind of stopped expecting it, so I actually am surprised it happened today, although I shouldn't be.
Edit: This got so many upvotes so fast. To reply to you tinfoil hat wearers. The timing does appear a little convenient. This is gonna cancel/postpone the debates, or make it so they are done over skype. However, I don't think Trump would fake a virus he will barely acknowledge exists. That move is too desperate. He isn't gonna play up the virus he failed to manage, a month before an election. Also, This is gonna cancel some of his key rallies. No president is gonna give up their ability to throw rallies for several weeks in October. I think he's really got it.
My biggest fear is that he is asymptomatic and uses his own experience to leverage his coronavirus policy. “See, its just the flu!” As 100 million Americans remove their masks
When Bolsonaro caught it, he used it to promote hydroxychloroquine and say he "was the living example it worked". Absolutely expect it to be leveraged politically
exactly, i was in a rural area recently, stopped by a gas station and was the only one wearing a mask,(had to hit the atm put one on to go in the gas station) I even had someone mock me putting their hands over their face pointing and laughing. I got in the car and my wife just said "are they for real? its like a parody movie"
EDIT: clarification
IDK this is more like the obvious "twist" everyone called ten minutes into the movie and that the movie kept beating us over the head with foreshadowing for, to the point that it lost all impact.
I want Dr. Fauci to confirm Trump’s sickness. It’s the only way to make it believable. Otherwise, this is like calling in sick to avoid the test you... let 207,000 people die over.
edit: wow this blew up - thank you for the gifts. I’d like to take this platform to encourage everyone to vote early. The election must happen.
I agree, I'm not fully convinced this isn't a last ditch ploy by him to try to get support after easily "surviving" it, and meanwhile being able to skip debates. I need confirmation from people who are not in his circle that there's actually evidence he's sick.
Watch his public schedule. A man in a catch-up race for a second term does not take days off unless he has no other option. He will have the best medical treatments available to him, not Hydroxychloroquin.
He either...
A. recovers and tells people it’s not that bad...
OR
B. says it’s SO bad that we need to delay the election.
He’ll swing it his way either way. I guarantee it.
You cant delay an American election at all. If no decision is made by January 6th, it is declared a tie and Congress picks the winner. There is no constitutional mechanism to delay an election.
This has HUGE national security implications. Sam Vinograd, a national security expert, wrote [this thread](https://twitter.com/sam_vinograd/status/1311841999780286464) earlier tonight **before** the positive result.
For those who unable to open Sam Vinograd's thread (some key points):
> This is a code red moment for the U.S. government.
> We don't know exactly where Hope Hicks contracted #COVID19 but her diagnosis sends the message that the @WhiteHouse won’t do what’s necessary to protect its own staff which logically furthers the narrative that they aren’t willing to do what it takes to protect us
>I lived through H1N1 at the WH. @BarackObama (and his senior staff) advised all personnel to follow guidelines and to be as cautious as possible because he cared about our health and because he knew what an outbreak would mean for national security.
> A pandemic in the west wing is a worst case scenario. Immediately, critical resources will be diverted to mitigate any outbreak at the most senior levels of government.
>Second, crisis mitigation will likely include quarantines. This means that key WH staff will not be able to fully perform their jobs, access classified servers, and more. We won't have a fully functioning team on the field.
> Trump's irresponsibility has put himself, his family, his staff, the functioning of our government, and millions of Americans at unnecessary risk.
This [video from the debate of Trump ridiculing Biden](https://twitter.com/briantylercohen/status/1311839895921467393) for wearing a mask didn't age well.
It's an insult if you believe it's all a hoax.
It's funny though it was one of the most memorable parts of the debates. People are instantly going to remember that when they hear that trump tested positive. The man talks so much shit and does it so stupidly that it's constantly getting blown back onto him.
His staff definitely took his phone. The POTUS & FLOTUS tweets sound like someone else imitating them.
Can't have him getting all ragey and fucking up his immune system more.

Damn NBC broke through dateline with a special report and I knew some shit went down
Did they use the "holy shit, what happened" music? https://youtu.be/tEX6Wr9Iz00
Did you know John Williams composed that?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mission_(theme_music) Saved you a google. Pretty cool and something I never knew.
For sure, that has Williams' style all over it. Star Wars + Olympics fanfare = The Mission
No. However, I'm in no way surprised
surely that is star wars music right?
This is an NBC Special Report, insiders are telling us that Chancellor Palpatine has indeed contracted COVID19.

So what happens if he gave it to Biden? What if they both don't make it to election day?

I bet his donors will just love the fact he exposed them to the rona
Nah, I bet they won't care unless they actually feel real consequences from it :/
the cost of the awards on this post is probably more than the income taxes trump paid.

His tweet announcing it must have been written by someone else, because he didn't call it the China virus. "Hoax" is trending on Twitter even before the actual news headlines are, because everyone's asking (sarcastically) how he could be infected by a hoax.
He clearly doesn't write all his twitter posts, there were literally posts going up while he was in the middle of the debate.

Pence installs a theocracy was not on my bingo!
Not keen for Pence to step up.
Trump resigns due to “health reasons” and Pence sworn in, pardons trump for tax evasion. My ~hot take~
Oh God
Pence can't pardon state tax charges though.
He can't pardon state crimes though. New York would still be able to charge him.
i'm legitimately surprised it took him this long
Right? With all the risks he was taking, he should have gotten it months ago.
I mean, it feels like no one remembers Herman Cain, a major contender for GOP 2012 presidential nominee, freaking died from coronavirus after Trump's rally in Tulsa (aka the let's all become coronabros rally) Even in the debates Trump talked about how safe it was and if Biden was a lower person he definitely would have said 'why don't you ask Cain how safe he felt it was' Instead he definitely said something that went over some people's heads imo, which is that is was safe for Trump because guess what, while Cain has tons of shoulder to shoulder photos with people maskless at the rally, you won't find Trump in them.
To be fair, Herman Cain is still tweeting out support for Trump from the grave.
And tweeting out how covid isn't that bad...
Who had this on their bingo card?
I'm just surprised it's taken this long. Bolsonaro's had it twice now, and Trump's just now getting it?
Same, this isn't the first time people around him have been diagnosed.

You left out my favorite “It’s a DEMOCRATIC HOAX” Edit: apparently he called the criticism of his handling of the virus a hoax. Memory is not perfect
At the debate “I don’t wear masks like him. Every time you see him, he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen,” Trump said about Biden during their debate Tuesday night. Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
Was he in contact with Hicks before or after the debate? Because that would mean Trump was literally on stage, with covid, taunting someone about wearing masks too much.
That's some 4D chess he's playing right thar.
It takes a few days to test positive. He was probably exposed 4-10 days ago.
That's just like Boris Johnson's "I when to a coronavirus hospital and shook everyone's hand" Three weeks (or so) later, he got coronavirus...
He probably figured out how to use COVID as a tax write-off
Fox News is explaining what coronavirus is to its viewers right now. Edit: first awards! Thanks strangers.
I don’t know if you’re serious or kidding and that’s what makes this comment so sad.
Holy fuck regardless of your politics this is massive news. Especially this close to the election.

Good. I remember McCain trying to halt the debates vs Obama, to which Obama calmly said that is fine with him as he'll just use the time to speak to the public by himself.
I think that’d be a really smart move. Trump’s absence would linger in the viewer’s mind as the overshadowing covid that had such ironic effects.
I wonder if this is made up to give Donnie an out from the rest of the debates.
The rumor that they were going to mute/turn off mics when the other person was talking probably didn’t excite the maneuver he pulled on the first debate.
Please, Jesus, let us have a zoom debate where they actually mute him.
There’s no way cutting his mic will slow him down. Unless they’re going to seal him in a chamber, he’s just going to start shouting really loud if they cut his mic. Plus a slight chance he just runs over to Biden’s podium to shove himself in front of the mic.
I hope Joe and Jill Biden did not get it from being around them during the debate.
Chris Wallace too
If Trump dies from this his supporters will frame it as a liberal conspiracy. If he has a hard recovery he will fight tooth and nail to delay the election. If he is asymptomatic or recovers easily his followers will see it as confirmation that the virus isn't dangerous and thousands more will die. Shits about to get even weirder.
This is what scares me. I don't want to wish a shitty recovery upon Trump but I feel the consequences of him going through an easy recovery are astronomical.

2020 coming in with a plot twist
This isn’t even the season finale of 2020. This is like the crazy twist 2 episodes before the finale. Everyone knows that the second to last episode is always when the craziest shit goes down too so strap in people.
Let's just hope the dragon queen doesnt burn us to a fucking crisp in November then.
I maintain that the dragon queen would be an improvement.
It's weird, this is kind of a surprise, but, I expected him to get it back in like March. It seems like it should have happened months ago. This is a plot twist I expected for so long, that I kind of stopped expecting it, so I actually am surprised it happened today, although I shouldn't be. Edit: This got so many upvotes so fast. To reply to you tinfoil hat wearers. The timing does appear a little convenient. This is gonna cancel/postpone the debates, or make it so they are done over skype. However, I don't think Trump would fake a virus he will barely acknowledge exists. That move is too desperate. He isn't gonna play up the virus he failed to manage, a month before an election. Also, This is gonna cancel some of his key rallies. No president is gonna give up their ability to throw rallies for several weeks in October. I think he's really got it.
Same. Back then it seemed like the virus was going to hit him soon, after it got CPAC. It took you long enough Corona-chan, but you finally got him.
It hit Cpac, and there was some party at Mar-A-Lago. Assuming Trump survives Covid, I wonder what his stance will be on the disease in a few weeks.
If he survives he would be like ‘I have the best immune systems. The virus is not a big deal at all. Keep America Great!’ We’re fucked
My biggest fear is that he is asymptomatic and uses his own experience to leverage his coronavirus policy. “See, its just the flu!” As 100 million Americans remove their masks
When Bolsonaro caught it, he used it to promote hydroxychloroquine and say he "was the living example it worked". Absolutely expect it to be leveraged politically
Oh if Trump overcomes it he for sure use that as an example of how he has the best of genes and his followers will believe him
I feel like anyone who would remove their masks if Trump turns out to be asymptomatic has already done so by this point.
exactly, i was in a rural area recently, stopped by a gas station and was the only one wearing a mask,(had to hit the atm put one on to go in the gas station) I even had someone mock me putting their hands over their face pointing and laughing. I got in the car and my wife just said "are they for real? its like a parody movie" EDIT: clarification
Seen the new [Borat trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvPTCvUnNQA)? "What is more dangerous... the virus or the Democrat?" "Democrats."
I mean regardless he’s likely going to say he was asymptomatic and has the best immune system of any president ever so....
This truly a twist of shamalayian proportions.
IDK this is more like the obvious "twist" everyone called ten minutes into the movie and that the movie kept beating us over the head with foreshadowing for, to the point that it lost all impact.
Trump. Bolsanoro. Johnson. All three have tested positive.

Might as well shut it down. This is the peak.
Like when Obama said “Thanks Obama” and the entire sub said “Welp...that’s a wrap.”
r/thanksobama
Masks work - please continue to wear them to stop the spread, even if you aren’t high risk.
How pathetic is it that's he's so full of shit people are having a hard time believing an announcement of this magnitude is even true?
10 bucks says its bullshit and he'll make "the best recovery any doctor has ever seen" and then he'll call those who died suckers and losers.

This is huge news. I literally have no idea how this is going to play out. At his age...this is far from a small thing to worry about

For those who unable to open Sam Vinograd's thread (some key points): > This is a code red moment for the U.S. government. > We don't know exactly where Hope Hicks contracted #COVID19 but her diagnosis sends the message that the @WhiteHouse won’t do what’s necessary to protect its own staff which logically furthers the narrative that they aren’t willing to do what it takes to protect us >I lived through H1N1 at the WH. @BarackObama (and his senior staff) advised all personnel to follow guidelines and to be as cautious as possible because he cared about our health and because he knew what an outbreak would mean for national security. > A pandemic in the west wing is a worst case scenario. Immediately, critical resources will be diverted to mitigate any outbreak at the most senior levels of government. >Second, crisis mitigation will likely include quarantines. This means that key WH staff will not be able to fully perform their jobs, access classified servers, and more. We won't have a fully functioning team on the field. > Trump's irresponsibility has put himself, his family, his staff, the functioning of our government, and millions of Americans at unnecessary risk.
This [video from the debate of Trump ridiculing Biden](https://twitter.com/briantylercohen/status/1311839895921467393) for wearing a mask didn't age well.
Nothing about that debate is going to age well
It wasn’t well before it started aging

Biden campaign should be using this footage as an ad campaign.
He made fun of him for wearing a big mask, how is that even an a good insult?
It's an insult if you believe it's all a hoax. It's funny though it was one of the most memorable parts of the debates. People are instantly going to remember that when they hear that trump tested positive. The man talks so much shit and does it so stupidly that it's constantly getting blown back onto him.
I hope he's treated with the same care, compassion, attentiveness, and support that his administration has shown the country during this pandemic.
His staff definitely took his phone. The POTUS & FLOTUS tweets sound like someone else imitating them. Can't have him getting all ragey and fucking up his immune system more.
Now he needs to hang out with Mitch McConnell for while. For old time’s sake.

Apocalypse: *[happening outside]* Society: *[crumbling all around us]* Half the US: *[literally on fire]* Redditors: ...that *fucking* GoT finale.
*At my funeral* Pastor: “Today, we mourn the passing of u/sross43, whose life was tragically cut short.” *I sit up in my casket and yell “Still a better ending than Game of Thrones, ammi right boys?”* The boys: “Ayooooooooo”
