Trump and Melania have Covid

[PruePhillip]

I think it's plausible that he could try to spin this if he ends up not having severe symptoms - or if he's lying - to either portray himself as a tough guy, or to argue that COVID-19 isn't that big a deal (and therefore that his crappy response to COVID-19 isn't a huge blunder that didn't cost countless lives).

Good point, I like it.

FWIW: this is looking less plausible since I posted it.

Checking in at Walter Reed and announcing that he's taking an experimental treatment don't work with this narrative.

I haven't thought this through myself since I'm kind of taking it easy on deep thought tonight but...

Do you think people knowing that Trump has covid will affect how they vote?

I wouldn't doubt it. Either they will vote for him out of pity or they will not vote for him because something he took so lightly now has afflicted him.

Mr. Biden was yelled at by Mr. Trump during the debates. That would have generated aerosols that have the potential to infect Mr. Biden. Aerosols spread several feet further than six feet. Something like just under twenty feet.

That would be bad if both of them got Covid...

Or perhaps masks are not the miracle solution people think they are?

Most likely not. At least not the first line defender.

Watch once he has the antibodies to fight future infection of Covid. Go the Sweden route might be back on the table.

Sweden had huge nationwide lifestyle changes including working from home, limited gatherings and they even called it a national quarantine lifestyle, and comment that the shops are empty and their economy isn't doing much better. Just because they didn't have official mandates doesn't mean they proceeded business as usual. Sweden doesn't have a bunch of bozos who went 'who cares we will die or we won't!' Usa would be worse, because dip ****s.

However, because they were bozos about masks, Sweden is leading Scandinavian countries in deaths and just had another spike with largest numbers since June this week. and their antibody testing is still at around 10%.

So the Swedish method has failed. It is and always was a pipe dream.

Either your information is outdated, or you are simply drinking the kool aid, Sweden is doing just fine.

Vilified Early Over Lax Virus Strategy, Sweden Seems to Have Scourge Controlled

Its the kind of "pipe dream" I can live with.

Yea well. Looks like everyone has a different story. We could go back and forth on this for months if not years.

Guess the only way would be to actually go to Sweden if one wants the real deal. News reports themselves have proven to be pretty useless these days. Not that journalistic Integrity means much for this generation.

Do you realize that COVID-19 stats are available in near-real time?

Coronavirus Update (Live): 34,882,925 Cases and 1,034,068 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer

As of the date of this post, Sweden is 14th in the world for deaths per capita from COVID-19: not as bad as the US, but worse than France.

It's bad in Sweden: about 6,000 deaths (so far) in a country of only 10 million people.

All I can say is this is proof there is a God!!

It's also proof that Trump is a complete MORON.

The science denier brought it upon himself.

Then amped up his MORONNESS by not wearing a mask when he KNEW he was infected, and spread it to lots of other people.

I am wondering why Trump did not inject disinfectant, sunshine, and lollipops like he tells everyone else to use.
