This is a great thread

I would disagree with this slightly, in that it's also become apparent that they need doctors who can effectively bullshit people, and that kind of hired gun tends to be a bit different from the kind of doctor that you go to for the highest standard of care. So there's a reason, which I'm not saying is the actual reason, for rapidly expanding the team that's independent of his condition.

I think Alexander Haig, who was Reagan’s secretary of state, tried to claim that he was acting president when Reagan got shot and Bush got sick or couldn’t be found or something, and tv news was too dumb to know whether he was right or not (he wasn’t).

I got a probe for pointing out that you shouldn't hinge your election campaign on the media's framing of an opponent in the middle of a pandemic that will almost certainly entangle that individual.

The smartest of the strongmen leaders is Putin because he took no chances. Everyone else is just an idiot who risked it all for no real reason. I love this poo poo.

yea Bojo, despite also being a dump rear end sack of poo poo, actually is famously somewhat active and trump has 20ish years on him. Plus he's upper class brit trash so he probably played rugby or soccer at whatever molestation factory boarding school he went to.

He dropped out of sight for a long while and now only gets wheeled out to do positive stuff. His evil grand viziers dad blabbed to a random tourist he's no longer up to the job and will retire as a result.

On the positive side they got more serious about covid as a result, on the negative when he retires on the grounds of ill health he'll be absolved as a poor covid martyr who did his best despite being gravely ill and he'll take all the blame with him for the UK's covid clusterfuck.

its been 8 months, we honestly don't know. we do know that some people show heart damage similar to a heart attack. does that mean that you can't eventually make a full recovery? maybe not. but he's also an obese 74 year old who doesn't exercise - do you think he's going to go through extensive and painful cardiac and respiratory rehab? and, again, 30 days until the election.

A preliminary study back in the summer showed a whopping 55% of patients who'd recovered from covid had some form of long-term heart damage. This isn't even getting into potential damage to other organs.

I think if you had bad symptoms it's pretty common. It may be happening on a widespread basis even in the people who don't notice it. Nobody really knows yet.

Trump's an old fat gently caress too, which won't help anything. A 20 year old might bounce back to a fine quality of life even if they lost their athletic edge, but a hamberder enthusiast of 74?

Okay yeah. But that is still a bit of a different picture, than the idea that every second person who has caught it would have long term heart damage.
Honestly, I wouldn't worry to much about long time effects with Trump. It's not like this will reduce his lifespan from 140 to 130.
