Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19

In my home, I'm the first one up, and as I told awakening family members the news...There was a lot of cheering in newyorkguy's household. ;)

Sad!
 
The list of people at risk is extensive and mind boggling.

Including Mnuchin, who met with Pelosi...

Anyway, most people are asymptomatic. It isn't a thoughts and prayers situation until that changes.

Inaccurate. Calculations about the percentage of people who are asymptomatic vary significantly. But across the board, most tend to be in the 40s (depending on age group).

As an obese 74-year old man who may have, or have had, heart issues or other pre-existing conditions, President Trump is at significantly higher risk from Coronavirus than someone in great health in their early-20s.

3%-4% of people his age who catch coronavirus go on to die from it, but this includes people in far worse health, with less access to exceptional healthcare and whose diagnosis came much later.

The most likely outcome by a considerable margin is that he will have few or no symptoms and that he will go on to make a full, or near full, recovery.

IMO anything short of death will be portrayed by the GOP as a miracle and death will be presented as President Trump giving up his life for his country. IMO the Democratic Party should rebut this.

If he dies, they should offer their deepest sympathies and so on but go on to say that the best way to fight off Covid-19 is to not catch it in the first place and that this is a bleak reminder for people to mask up, observe social distancing and observing good hygiene.

If he survives they should offer their congratulations but then remind people that he has access to healthcare that most Americans cannot even dream of and that he only has himself to blame for catching it in the first place.
 
Man 2020 is either the best or worst written year ever.

I can't tell if it has too many payoffs to things set up earlier in the year or too many obvious setups.

It's either "Well of course Trump got COVID, it's the only way to finish up his character arc!" or "Oh come on they telegraphed that way too much! They should have subverted it!"

Another person to nominate for Nobel Peace Prize! The person that gave Trump coronavirus.

"Questions now remain about how and when –** and from whom –** the president contracted the virus and if he could have infected others, including Biden, during his packed week."

But there may be technical issues. Will have to verify the virus strain. Hope Hicks might not be it. But we can give the Prize to whoever gave it to Hope.

Who in here is thinking, just for second, that it might be just a stunt?

Him getting through this without any health problems would surely give him a boost and would also divert any other headlines for some weeks.

For more than a second.
 
I know it's sort of cliche to ask/bring up at this point, but I'm curious of the polls in a couple of days.
 
Joe Biden Tweets:

"Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family."

I hope he dies in a pool of his own blood and vomit! Or a pool of somebody else's blood and vomit!

And by pool I don't mean like "a small puddle around the mouth." I mean a literal pool. Olympic sized if possible.
