Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19

Biden has suspended his "negative" ads.

Here's the ad they need to make:
30 secs of Trump and KellyAnne and any other + case downplaying covid, including Trump mocking him for wearing a mask, and show the event at the White House.

And then 30 secs of a sit down message: the virus doesn't care about your politics, it's going to infect who it can, when it can. Protect others and yourself. Follow the CDC guidelines, wash your hands, stay physically distant, wear a mask. Together, we can stop the spread of covid, to protect ourselves and those we love.

And show images of Trump on the "those we love' part.

It's not anti-Trump, its anti-Covid.

I’m struggling with this.

I would never wish suffering on another human being. “Ask not for whom the bell tolls...it tolls for thee” and all that.

And yet, Trump getting sick with COVID-19 seems somehow “right”. I’m thinking in terms of...

Karma

Greek Tragedy

Just Desserts

Shakespearean

Feel free to add to the list!
“Trumpian” means many different things to many different people. Depending on how this turns out, I think it may come to be most commonly used in this context, such as “Trumpian comeuppance”. We shall see.

It looks somewhat like Trump was on portable oxygen when walking to the helicopter.

"Pretty sure Trump boarded Marine One with a portable oxygen concentrator in his pocket with the nasal cannula going up his back, hidden in his hair and tucked under his mask. He is not as well as they say. Liar in chief..."

It looks a lot like people are jumping to conclusions from a few stills.

Totally could be true, but I don't see any particularly good evidence. The line at the back of his head could be anything. If it's a tube delivering oxygen to his mask, seems we'd see some indication going from this ear to the mask and I don't see it. It could be hidden in the ear strap or behind it, but then it would be quite small.

Twitter analyses of photos is a bit too speculative for my tastes.

Something I would add-

If you get coronavirus, you, unlike Trump, will not have the best medical care available for free; you probably won't die, but that just means that you'll have to live with some horrendous (are there any other kind?) medical bills for quite some time to come. And the party that wants to kill ObamaCare certainly isn't the party that will care about that.

Will Trump turn to religion on his deathbed?

He won't suffer long enough. The model in that area is Lee Atwater, the vicious racist proponent of the Repub "southern strategy" who worked for Reagan and Bush I. He developed a massive brain tumor at age 39 that left him partially paralyzed and in agony, and during the last year of his life he got religion and spent much of his time begging forgiveness from the people he hurt. Let's hope for a full Atwater for Trump.

Michelle and I hope that the President, First Lady, and all those affected by the coronavirus around the country are getting the care they need and are on the path to a speedy recovery.

Be a patriot. Do your part.

Wearing a mask will protect you. But it will also protect those around you — your mom, your dad, your son, your daughter, your neighbor, your co-worker.

Don’t just do it for yourself. Do it for the people you love.
 
There are reports that trump's condition is more serious than what the public is being told. This is from a local TV station in Oregon. I highlighted what concerns me the most.
[trump's] upbeat attitude did not reflect the inherent severity of the situation. It remains extremely rare for a president to overnight in hospital, given the extensive medical facilities available at the White House. Trump himself was said to be spooked after he announced he tested positive early Friday, and has become increasingly alarmed by his diagnosis as he developed symptoms like a fever overnight, according to a person familiar with his reaction.

A Trump adviser said there is reason for concern about the President’s health. “This is serious,” the adviser said. The adviser went on to describe Trump as very tired, very fatigued and having some trouble breathing. A source familiar with the situation said White House officials have serious concerns about Trump’s health and a top administration official told CNN that Trump is “OK for now, but our fear is that things can change quick.” Link to KTVZ

Don't think I saw this mentioned...

According to an interview on CNN, whitehouse staffers are concerned that Trump's condition is worse than admitted to the public, and he has some trouble breathing.

Baby, I think there’s some problem with your respiration.

FROGSTAR PRISONER RELATIONS OFFICER:
Oh? What?

ZAPHOD:
You’re breathing.

FROGSTAR PRISONER RELATIONS OFFICER:
That’s not a problem.

ZAPHOD:
It is from where I’m standing.

A significant increase in conspiracy theories & outrageous claims since the President’s diagnosis

Lies spread much faster than fact checking

This is why we need frequent,detailed & transparent updates from
@WhiteHouse


And why we should all be skeptical of outlandish rumors

A new one: Wisconsin senator Johnson.

That's 3 GOP senators out for a while.
With Collins and Murkowski against a SCOTUS vote, that might become a problem.

Karma would be that the Barrett super spreader event makes her confirmation problematic.

From Twitter:

“0.7% of the US population currently has the virus

5% of the Senate Republican caucus currently has the virus

Being a Republican senator is now an elevated risk factor for getting Covid.”
