Several of the senior staff have been afflicted with something or other for the last few days. I was sick for a couple of days. I had the mild form of it.The Post article continues:
The stricken staffers included campaign manager Robby Mook, and two top aides who needed emergency medical treatment — one of whom was taken by ambulance to a hospital emergency room after collapsing from severe dehydration, People magazine reported.Let's be clear, if most members of a group who work and travel together get the same illness, it is contagious. That, or it is some form of poisoning to which all were exposed - possible but unlikely.
Fallon told CNN that Clinton’s pneumonia, which she is treating with antibiotics, was “not contagious.”
Fallon wants to call Clinton's condition "not contagious" because the optics are bad if, as the carrier of an infectious disease, she hugged a little girl on camera. CNN would do well to call Fallon on this allegation, but won't.
The campaign cannot have it both ways. Either she has some not contagious condition - likely neurological in nature - or she has a contagious disease and callously exposed a child to further the image of a healthy candidate. Take your pick, she's damned either way.
