Quintus 5098 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I saw the video of Trump thanking people before he left for the helicopter taking him to the hospital, and I noticed he hadn't applied his fake tan for once. It's funny how much more... human he looked, without it. Dignified, even. For once. He looked very well, I'd say. But that's how it starts out. Link to post Share on other sites

Sweeping Strings 864 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Trump's diagnosis is suspiciously timely ... anyone else wondering if he really has it, or if he just decided that he didn't fancy the re-election campaign trail and TV debates and it makes for a handy excuse and sympathy-that-turns-into-votes generator? Then again, if it's genuine presumably he doesn't regard it as just a 'Democrat conspiracy' any more. Bespin and bollemanneke 2 Link to post Share on other sites
AC1 2555 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think it's genuine. Since Trump has been infected, the virus has been raging through the WH. Also, 'faking it' means many doctors have to be in cahoots with the president. Link to post Share on other sites

mstrox 4095 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It’s looking like the indoor/outdoor gathering for the new Supreme Court nominee was a superspreader event. Eight confirmed cases among elected officials and appointees now already, and surely more as yesterday’s tests keep coming in and the 2-14 day COVID incubation period continues...Not to mention at least 4 members of the White House press corps at this point. Very few masks and no social distancing at that event, based on photo and video. And these people have all been presymptomatic and interacting at events all week since then. What a mess.

BLUMENKOHL 1044 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Trump still has a few days to go. 10-12 days after onset of symptoms is when you get a rough estimate if someone is going to go south. Regardless, the balance of probability says he is likely going to survive, sorry Cremers. P.S. While I appreciate the sentiment of his latest Tweet about not letting fear [of covid, in this case] dominate your life, most people also don’t get to be flown by helicopter to the world’s best hospital, with a staff of doctors and nurses dedicated just to them, the latest and greatest medical care, including classified treatments, and all at the expense of the taxpayer.

Quintus 5098 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Oh look, yet again they're bringing up the alternative approach which some of us argued for many months ago: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/10/06/scientist-urge-return-normal-now-avoid-future-health-crises The crucial difference being that the media is now also coming around to that way of thinking. Funny that. It is up to the elderly and the other higher risk groups to use their common sense and avoid risky public spaces. The rest of productive society can no longer continue to jeopardise their own futures for demographic groups who are largely capable of looking after themselves, with help measures put into place. There shouldn't be an expectation from the elderly that the rest of the world will put themselves damagingly on hold indefinitely, just for them. Link to post Share on other sites

mstrox 4095 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I don't see a scenario where faking it would benefit anybody politically, and he certainly looked ill in his videos and his grand march back home. They even had to do a snip/edit in the first hospital video, presumably to remove a cough. Several White House domestic staff members and Kelly Ann Conway's daughter also tested positive. Demonstrative of how one infection, presumably an asymptomatic or presymptomatic one at that White House confirmation announcement deal a week and a half ago, can spiral into something so much bigger if proper precautions (masking and distancing) are not taken at all times.

Jay 18392 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I think it should be allowed to discuss politicians having or not having COVID - nobody thought it was against the rules when it was posted Boris Johnson got it, right? The US president and his associates shouldn't be treated different than that. Political opinions as always are not allowed, in this or any thread. Opinions about how COVID should be handled by those in charge should be allowed though right? If not, I don't know what else there is to talk about any more with regard to COVID. Should the thread be locked until a vaccine rolls out? Bilbo and Ricard 2 Link to post Share on other sites
