I remember someone in the thread yesterday posting an analysis of some Trump clip saying they were seeing signs in his voice or something, I honestly though they were just looking into things too hard / being hopeful.

I hope this doesn't sound snarky, is there a good/more detailed explanation/timeline of what's happened All I know was there was some news that Hope Hicks was tested for it yesterday, then Trump was quarantined because of contact with her, and then I woke up to this.

The timeline is the White House tried to hide Hick’s positive test (because trump had flipped out last time the White House disclosed a positive test) and it leaked anyway so people started asking real pointed questions real fast.

Of course, it takes time for the virus to incubate. They might have it. They'll have to test negative for a week at least to be in the clear

If you go back to the last thread the timeline starts only a couple dozen pages back. You can see it leaking - there's journos going 'trump may have corona' before he announces it in that tweet.

The White House leaks like a sieve. It is absolutely impossible that he would be able to keep a positive COVID test under wraps. In that situation, it only makes sense to announce it yourself.

Tbf they've kept a stroke under wraps.

So did Herman Cain. He won’t die for lack of treatment but virus treatment is basically just symptom management, which has its limits. Trump’s body has to do the heavy lifting and this isn’t a Big Mac.

Herman Cain was black, and there is a disparate levels of care just on that fact alone but also Herman Cain was a cancer survivor and likely had an extremely weakened immune system.

Not that I'm rooting for Trump here but he's likely going to be fine because evil has not seen any consequences yet and I'm not holding my breath on 2020 delivering anything good at this point.

Can you imagine Donald Trump on a loving ventilator, forced to watch his numbers tank, but incapable of even talking? People are saying that him dying would be a lapse of justice, but to be killed by COVID right at the finish line is so much more delicious.

Trump had a stroke a year ago (his undisclosed trip to Walter Reed), is on statins, is morbidly obese, eats poo poo, never sleeps, and has or had undisclosed drug abuse issues. He is absolutely going to loving die from covid.

I mean, on the flipside, my decorum-poisoned California Liberal parents are both going "I wouldn't wish covid on anyone but this is his own drat fault." That's gonna be a more common sentiment than it seems—remember, the majority of people in the country disapprove of Trump's covid response.

Pretty sure you’re unconscious when on the vent.

I want the man to have to suffer the pain of losing the election miserably but him kicking it in the next month is probably better for the country as a whole, or at least it’s institutions. There’s going to be a lot of conspiracy related violence, instead of election related violence. Or alongside. Shits going to be violent.

If Trump had corona as early as Wednesday, it makes me wonder how often he’s actually getting tested? I swear I’ve seen in several places that he is supposed to be tested daily.

He is likely to be fine because even for old people the odds are in their favor (albeit if you make a habit of running odds like that you will die quickly). But medical treatment can only help so much.

Just because he has the best healthcare and access to experimental treatment doesn’t mean his body would survive. He’s morbidly obese, eats unhealthy, doesn’t sleep, is on who knows what drugs, and probably has a host of other comorbidities. The ventilator and doctors can only do so much, his body is what will determine if he survives and it’s a mess.

We shouldn’t count him out yet but signs are good.
