Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Seem El Presidento and Mrs El Presdiento have got it now. Wonder how it will impact him and if it changes his views on it like it has said to have done for Boris. But I guess he'll be necking the hydroxychloroquine now.

Should we believe this story?

Trump is in a high risk category, old age group and he knows who ate all the pies. I would never wish anyone ill, but a chastening experience for him might change US policy to save a few less privileged people.

I was wondering the same, gets a doing at the first debate, makes a meal of the Proud Boys situ, and has another debate on the horizon.

We can't really discuss that further, gets into the 'P' word.

If they have it good luck to them in their recovery.

Agreed, but sooner or later someone with sense will see that most things in life, these days especially, are underpinned by the P word and avoiding it completely makes for sterile conversation ;).

Solve for the root cause, not the symptom... that's my motto :)

Don't think it's fake. About 90% of people have already made their minds up on who they will vote for, so the campaign is more about getting your voters out as opposed to convincing people to come over to your side. So to energise his base I'd expect Trump to want to be out there saying the stuff he says, some may say dog whistling, I couldn't possibly comment. So seems a strange move to deliberately remove himself from the opportunity to say things about proud boys etc. Although I suppose he will still have twitter.

I agree, I think it is probably real but I can see reasons for them lying about this. If faked, he'll walk it off within a week to show what a strong man he is and try and paint Biden as a weak, old man. Trump loves being viewed as a Putin-esque strongman of politics.

Had my first cancellation due to symptoms within a bubble at the college.
Bubble sent home for a week as a precaution.
Fortunately I haven't seen the pupil since last Thursday so no issues for me..
And so it begins...

#2 into isolation as her boy came home from school with a temperature...
Could be a quiet couple of weeks workwise at this rate.....

No chance - a couple of pints of Domestos to cleanse the inner body and he'll be back on the stage being as obnoxious as ever , with a miraculous recovery

Exactly, popularity will improve off the back of him defeating the virus and showing how “great” he is.:unsure:

Just before the election........

Not gonna lie, I didn't understand a lot of that (basically nothing). Is it good or bad?

Good. It means that immunity isn't all about the antibodies. Some people have T-cells (a circulating immune cell) that also defend against Covid. There may be more real immunity in the population than assumed from results of antibody testing.
 
what is the positive test is Trumps final throw of the dice to get some sympathy votes.... he then skips a debate and then miraculously cures himself to win.. in case he loses, he can always blame the China virus..


his supporters will lap up any theory he comes up with

Yeah, but as Hils found out, that 10% can make a difference. Sadly that 10% are Murican and therefore easily led ;)

If it's real then all the President's men and women who have been in close proximity with him over the last few days (and there will have been many) will also have to go into isolation for the period of gestation and then while their tests are processed. And that will include Kushner and Pence and many in the WH. Meanwhile he and they will not be able to be out there energising his support and trying to convert the undecided to his cause. Also remember that yesterday Trump was criticising Biden by claiming Biden was trying to get the next two debates cancelled.
