Sources have informed LouisianaVoice that Landry, one day after announcing that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, dined at an exclusive Baton Rouge restaurant with a gaggle other like-minded coronavirus deniers, possibly exposing them, restaurant employees and other diners.
Brent Littlefield, Landry’s political adviser, denied the report, saying that Landry ate at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Baton Rouge a week ago Wednesday—before he tested positive for the coronavirus.
“It’s all over Twitter that Landry’s trying to murder people,” Littlefield said. “He was at Ruth’s Chris a full week before he tested positive. You can check with the restaurant to confirm that.”
But even then, Landy, who says he is asymptomatic, could have been positive and infecting others, which is sufficiently illustrative of the folly of refusing to wear a mask.
Littlefield often serves as Landry’s spokesperson when bad publicity surfaces. It was Littlefield who labeled as bogus a REPORT about the use of the guest-worker visa program by companies owned by Landry and his brother, Benjamin back in February.
He heads up Littlefield Consulting out of Washington and when you go to his WEB PAGE and click on “Our Work,” a series of ads for candidates pop up. But they’re ads for campaigns way back in 2010—a full decade ago. Apparently he’s been too busy to update his page—or he hasn’t been very busy at all.
An employee of the Ruth’s Chris was unable to confirm Landry’s presence at the restaurant on either night, but said the reservations could have been in someone’s name other than Landry.
Landry was said to have been maskless, as were his companions, Republican members of the Louisiana legislature Wednesday night as they enjoyed their repast at Ruth’s Chris just hours after releasing that nine-page OPINION which said Gov. John Bel Edwards’s executive order mandating the wearing of masks in public.
The order also imposed a limit of 50 persons on indoor/outdoor gatherings and ordered the closing of bars across the state.
Ruth’s Chris has long been a favorite place for politicians and lobbyists to meet to dine and discuss state business.
In the movie, Forrest Gump, the main character was asked several times if he was stupid. Forrest Gump replied “Stupid is as stupid does”, meaning that a person should be judged by his actions, not his appearance.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
Asymptomatic people cannot spread the virus. Do some research. Read a book. Stop the scare tactics.
“Some studies, however, have estimated that people without symptoms (whether truly asymptomatic or presymptomatic) could be responsible for up to half of the spread, which is why the virus has been so difficult to contain.”

That’s the complete opposite of what the WHO has already admitted. I’d expect nothing less from a liberal windbag. Read liberal trash, get liberal answers.
“But there are a subset of people who don’t develop symptoms, and to truly understand how many people don’t have symptoms, we don’t actually have that answer yet.”

However, just last week, researchers from the Scripps Research Translational Institute published a paper estimating that asymptomatic individuals account for up to 45% of coronavirus cases, and noted that “the viral load of such asymptomatic persons has been equal to that of symptomatic persons, suggesting similar potential for viral transmission.”

(Read right-wing knee-jerk news, get right-wing knee-jerk reactions. I can play this game as long as you can, Henry T.)
Henry, the WHO backtracked on that statement the day after they issued it. Perhaps YOU need to do some careful reading yourself. Half reading advanced health information from experts in their field to feed your desire to dismiss a legitimate health emergency; and you get miss-informed answers. But, I’d expect nothing less from an ignorant windbag.
