They are saying he went to meet fundraisers behind closed doors and he also attended a rally, though at least that was outdoors. And also they did not inform the journalist who had been exposed to hope Hicks, or other contacts. The journalists only found out when it was leaked.
What pisses me off most is that he spent time mocking Biden for wearing a mask. I just hope to goodness the Bidens are ok.

I don't think he is lying to avoid the debates. Mainly because I have no doubt he would pitch a tantrum to get out of the debates if he wanted to, and his supporters would have been fine with it. He was already gearing up his outrage machine about proposed changes to the rules to prevent the hot mess of the last one. He would have used that to refuse doing the next debate, no problem. Using the cornonavirus is a far worse excuse for him, as he has been actively pitching the idea that the virus is ending and the latest far right talking points - which he has encouraged - is that the whole thing is a hoax with trumped up numbers and the only people really at risk are those who would be dead anyway. It is definitely not to his benefit to have virus deniers who say things like "who do you even know who has really had this so-called virus" to now have to say "the president."
I think it is DISGUSTING that he took zero precautions, indeed mocked all the precautions, and Biden had to share a space with him unmasked. And now Biden has to worry about his exposure and risk, because he had no choice but to interact with a reckless and selfish man.

For the sake of all involved, I hope everyone will be okay. That includes the Trumps and the Bidens.

As strongly as I feel about his presidency, I do hope everyone has a smooth recovery.
The cynic in me is saying that maybe he doesn't really have it. Maybe he is again flicking the spotlight to himself. In 2 weeks he will be "perfect" and "the virus is no big deal."
