Weird to reference this but this is how LeRoi Moore died. He had an injury and was hospitalized, but could not stay away from the action of the tour. Against medical advice he left the hospital, got on an airplane and died in LA.
This is also what happened to Tiny Tim. Had a heart attack while performing, survived, but was told by doctors that he was no longer healthy enough to perform. Did it anyway, had another heart attack, and died.

From an electoral perspective, living might be worse.

Much like there was basically no 'good' option for Republicans electorally once RBG died, the moment Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 there was basically no 'good' outcome for Republicans electorally. His death would probably the best possible outcome for the GOP in general, but we'll see how it all plays out.

It's electric. Boogie woogie woogie.
People had to say goodbye to their loved ones over Zoom because of strict isolation protocols. Then this rear end in a top hat decides to spend his treatment having a loving parade. I wish he could take SOME self-reflection and realize how insensitive this stunt was. But no. He is incapable of any empathetic or sympathetic thought whatsoever.

The way the WH has handled this is so strange. It continues to be strange. In a lot of ways I think they were hoping the Biden and Democratic side would fall for what I can only rationalize as their attempt to spin Covid. It remains to be seen if they will.

I’m not doubting that he and many others have Covid. What I think is they absolutely had a contingency plan to leverage confirmed infection to reframe the admins failures on covid, and we are seeing that. Dems took down negative ads, they have been boxed into wishing well and Trump will come out as a person with first hand knowledge of the virus.

You heard it right there in the video. Not that ‘book kind of school’ they are trying to argue experiential learning beats out any of this ‘science stuff’ that the Biden camp has.

I assume they had a plan of some kind, or someone did, because Trump getting COVID is the most obvious thing ever, but there's a lotta 4d chess in this post that I do not think is real

To the extent the response is strange I think it's because Trump makes bad decisions and has progressively surrounded himself with dumber and dumber people

if there's 4d chess, it's Biden saying "no more attack ads!" while superpacs continue the negative messaging unabated, maybe making the trump campaign look bad when they don't follow suit. if "making trump look worse" is possible in 2020 TYOOL

I'm listening to the latest TWiV and they're just now talking about Trump getting covid (it was recorded on Friday).

Daniel Griffin, a regular guest doing clinical updates, is an MD/PhD in infectious disease who is treating tons of COVID-19 patients in NYC so he's incredibly knowledgeable in disease progression.

His opinion: As an elderly obese white male, Trump has about 20% odds of developing serious disease but we really won't know until Oct 15 (two weeks in). It's the second week that is really telling, all of the newspapers saying "the next week is critical" are wrong; it's the second week, not the first.

Also he recommends Trump get on remdesivir and steroids ASAP as both will improve his chances (Griffin writes this 7am Friday morning before it was announced Trump was on either).

So based on this letter by an extremely qualified physician scientist, I don't think we should read too much into Trump being on all those medications. He's not dying, if he develops serious disease it won't be for another ten days or so. He's a VIP who has access to those treatments so he got them. Most Americans only get hospitalized once they develop serious disease so they don't have the luxury of remdesivir, antibody therapy, and steroids early in the disease.

Here's where they read the letter, it's very much worth listening to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNRsI9p6M5U&t=7363s


tl;dr it's way too early to know how ill Trump will be and it is really not that unusual for him to be on all those treatments because he's friggin POTUS, was diagnosed early, and has access to all of them.

This! This is what makes this so horrific. Over 7 million infected by this "school" of his, more than 208,000 are never coming back, people were dying in hallways while saying goodbye over FaceTime. And this piece of poo poo thinks it's cool and good to take a joyride around the hospital and infect Secret Service agents in the process.

Months of intubation are too good for him.

It's been said again and again that government functionality has always been predicated on a mountain of gentlemen's agreements that the GOP in general and Trump in particular have absolutely no qualm in ignoring.

Even IF we ultimately somehow get out of this mess unscathed alive, I have no idea how we are supposed to build a functioning government in a post-decorum world.

And another week or two before we know how many of the people he's around right now are in serious trouble, possibly dying, just because they had the misfortune to work with or around Typhoid Donny today. The secret agents in the car with him on his little joyride, their health and lives and families have effectively been officially declared to be of less worth than Trump's fragile ego. Historians & epidemiologists will write books about the events of the past week, because it's going to be fascinating to see how one heartless idiot changed the course of US politics through nothing but the power of not giving a poo poo about anyone around him.

If we could calculate the Dunbar's number on that fucker, we'd see a decimal point at the front.

Absolutely, Barr's the only one I legitimately hope dies. The others, I hope realize the seriousness and perhaps have the lingering effects to keep it in mind (but still lose). But Barr is insane.

Though if God's doing a two-for-one, I would recommend Cotton or Hawley.
