Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19

[Oats12345]

Also, the assumption that because Trump is older than Boris, therefore he should have it exactly the same or worse is just dumb. Yes, older people are statistically more at risk, but it doesn't mean anything in an anecdotal case. Some get knocked out bad by it, some barely notice they have it.

My great aunt is 77 years old. And had covid, she was able to overcome it. Which was a surprise, she's had a history with cancer as well.

I think it's safe to say we can put both Johnson and Trump in the 'knocked out bad' category.

afaik I thought it depends on the viral load you take. The fact he's in the hospital a day after showing mild symptoms does not bode well. Sad!

There's gotta some variable though of why someone gets hit by it hard and why someone does it. It's stupid to believe that it's randomized.

I don't think it's randomized necessarily, i just don't think anyone can make assumptions about Trump's condition or prognosis based on Boris Johnson's case. Why would anyone do that? Because they're both polticians? Oy vey.

Sounds scientific, Doc.

Would it be fair to say that he... took a hot load?

Because they both ended up in hospital - although Trump has been admitted much sooner.

YUGE, viral load! They told me it's the biggest they've ever seen! A big beautiful viral load, folks. Don't we love it?

Trump is more likely to be admitted than some rando because he's president and the entire world gives a shit about his health, and there's an entire apparatus designed to be overly careful and overly aggressive when it comes to making sure he's OK.

Millions of people have had it. But yeah, compare those two guys.

Yes, we can. That's why these types of threads exist, bro.

I think you can compare treatment between leaders of countries because, within those countries, the health of their leader will be the priority.

Didn't Merkel stay at home and sit it out? I'm sure she'd have been rushed to hospital by helicopter if her clinicians had thought it necessary too.


Edit - merkel never tested positive was just in self isolation.

People like Brooklyn dad aka Majid Padellan are trying to start a panic

 

[the fall of man]

Just shoot him full of whatever they're pumping into Biden.

Maybe Biden is the long term effects of coronavirus

 

[Who dat?]

That wasn't what Meadows had said, and if they knew for a fact that Meadows was the anonymous source they'd have outed him in a heartbeat. They're intentionally trying to conflate the two things to make it seem like Meadows is the source.

Wrong. Here's Meadows asking to be off-the record, per universal agreement in effect since forever:

Here's how it was reported out, again according to universal agreement:

All of which is now being given out to entire White House press corps, though not for attribution.

lmao true, but they did wait until the markets closed before they flew him out. Which is pretty funny if he dies
Captialism

Trump might be at death's door, but if he is it had nothing to do with how the virus affected Boris Johnson. You're making assumption based on very little, which this place is good at.

If Trump is so bad off that Pence has to temporarily take over, we'll hear about it. Then we can worry.

The fact that we can't get ANY sort of solid facts on this is...well...okay it's typical modern news. Fuck, THIS is why the Corona Virus became a problem! I STILL don't know if it's horrifically lethal or just a coof because everyone is reporting something different, ALL the statistics are skewed, and the whole thing got politicized and THEN half-way through what political party believed what fucking flip-flopped! GAH!

NOW Trump is in the hospital and we have people saying that his rapidly worsening condition meant he had to be airlifted to the hospital...then we see video of him just casually walking to the chopper. We got reporters talking about how he insisted on a photo op but it had to be cancelled due to his rapidly worsening condition. NOW we've got people saying he's fine, people saying his vitals aren't good, and people saying "his vitals were a bit concerning but they have bounced back".

And NOW we get to re-write yesterday! "He's not on Oxygen", "He WAS on Oxygen", "He was on Oxygen at the White House", "He didn't have Oxygen at the White House but has been moved to the hospital to GET Oxygen", "He's not on Oxygen at the hospital but he was at the White House".

FUCK THIS GAY NEWS CYCLE!

Now here I am refreshing this thread like a retard because a fucking Chris-chan forum is the best source of news in the world right now watching a complete shitshow. Not that I can blame y'all, what else CAN you do?! No one knows anything about anything anymore anyway! GAH!

Either way Trump just tweeted about the stimulus from the Hospital because this motherfucker just CANNOT stop tweeting...and the damn tweet tells us NOTHING! Just "We gotta get this stimulus bill through" MOTHERFUCKER GO TO BED YOU ABSOLUTE RETARD! Cripes if Trump actually does die from this he won't even notice, he'll just keep on tweeting and running his damn mouth. SOMEHOW.

Is there any leftist kvetching over how they shouldn't gravedance Trump because Ginsburg, or is that level of self reflection reserved for autistic New Zealand fruit farming forums?

I'm not making assumptions based on how it affected Johnson, it just offers a timeline of somebody else who contacted Covid and was admitted to hospital.

I don't think trump is gravely ill because Johnson was. I think he's gravely ill because he's an obese 74 year old who was rushed to hospital within hours of testing positive for a virus that kills old fat people.

No two ways about it, read international stuff for covid reporting.
