Where? In Second Life?

Trump has been running rallies out of airports and simps' property since the Tulsa fiasco and already had the reputation of stiffing venue holders and city governments before becoming President.

However, I can full expect the Trump grift train to ask his supporters for donations to hold a rally, then charge admission for said rally. Then cancel at the last minute, oops, all sales are final!

Oh yeah, he got extremely lucky and all the best experimental treatments.

The silver lining is that because he got the max dose of Regeneron antibody cocktail very early on, it's likely his body didn't mount much of a natural defense of its own. So he is probably vulnerable to catching it again, which would be hilarious.

Nobody knows. Possibly? It would be very reckless and irresponsible of his doctors to do so, because it suppresses your immune system and has a bunch of other bad side effects. The chief White House physician is a toady but his big medical team is full of very competent infectious disease doctors. I would guess it's most likely they weaned him off pretty quickly because the consequences of long-term steroid use are really bad, but it's also possible he demanded more feelgood drugs and they went along with it.

My dude, winds typically gust at double the sustained wind speed. Wind speeds are reported as sustained speeds. A sustained 25mph will have 50mph winds, which are in fact, not necessarily safe to be in.

He got a really regular amount of lucky, this is and always has been a disease with very low personal risk but very high risk across populations. Trump has himself in a bunch of higher risk categories but the expected/likely outcome was always full recovery.

I’m sorry, what? That wind speeds aren’t reported as sustained (lol???)? Or that a typical/ rule of thumb is that gusts peak around double that (also lol??)?

This is what I believed as well, but Dr. Fauci leaked that Trump got his experimental antibody infusion early enough that it likely made a major impact in the progression of the disease. It possibly didn't, but it would fit with what we know about Trump's covid's progression.

Specifically, Fauci told a reporter that Trump did not have any antibodies of his own when the Regeneron cocktail was administered, which means he probably got it early enough to be really effective (a luxury almost nobody has) and also that Trump likely didn't mount much of his own immune response, so he very well could not have much natural immunity to a second SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Mate, I live on a sailboat. A gust is 10-15 knots over mean wind speed, strong gust 15-20, violent 20+. Winds at 25 knots do not in anyway shape or form automatically suggest the danger of gusts to loving 50 lmao.

Like if this was true I'd have to drop my genoa and put in a second reef everytime I was sailing in 25kts just in case the wind spped DOUBLED to 50 and knocked me down lmao, it doesn't work like that. You can have sustained 25kts with almost no gusting OR 25kts with violent gusts or anything in betweeen.

Lolling IRL thinking about if everytime I was sailing at 15kts that meant it could gust to 30 without warning at any time. 30 gusting to 60 lmfao. The boys at the yacht club are gonna love hearing this one.

Good?

I mean, trump is a bad man so him dying would be funny, but if they invented an amazing super cure that is great news. Let's all hope that it's true and they did find magic super medicine to give trump.
