Trump's medical condition

[exchemist]

First the BBC reports an anonymous source they trust saying Trump's vital signs were very concerning and the next couple of days are going to be critical for him, in other words he's much sicker than his personal doctor has been saying. Then big surprise were being told the anon source is Mark Meadows, Trumps chief of staff, who soon states that everything is fine and Trump is doing really well. My guess is the anon source at first is not Mark Meadows, and yet more deceitful propaganda is being spread about Trumps miraculous recovery.

It should be pointed out that the first week of a Covid infection is usually quite mild, it isn't till into the second week that it gets severe if indeed it is going to get so. Also we're told by survivors that often seeming recovery is followed by getting much sicker, that the level of symptoms goes up and down, Trump hasn't even had Covid for 3 days, so if his symptoms are bad, that's already a very serious prognosis. I don't think there's any way to get honest information out of Trump, his doctor, or his close aides, our only hope of real information will be in the form of leaks from hospital staff, if there are any.

Then there is still the possible but seemingly unlikely scenario that the whole thing is fake to garner sympathy for Trump and have him recover with almost no symptoms to show that the corona virus is nothing serious, and he was right when he said it no worse that the flu, scary eh?????

Yes I was puzzled by him apparently needing oxygen so soon after falling ill. That's not the normal pattern. I wondered if possibly he had been ill for longer and held on until after the debate or something. Either that or he has a really bad dose of it. All a bit strange. We'll just have to wait and see what the story is tomorrow.

You're making that up. For all we know he is getting a double lung transplant from a pig. That might embarrass the USA, so take it seriously.

While it is tempting to question the truth of anything about this president, the fact he hasn't been tweeting, does say something.

If he does in the end succumb to his foolhardiness with all of this, his twitter account will fall completely silent, forever. Imagine the queer, eerie silence as the air clears, crickets can be heard again, and the daisies begin to show their heads to the skies once more?

Something dawned on me. Emergency rooms don't have phone reception. Least the ones here.

That's the scream I hear in so many films isn't it?

In most states, it is too late to change the ballots.

I have no idea how the death of the primary candidate would affect the electoral process.

Me? You're just hamming it up.

I assume he's in some wing somewhere. But maybe the staff just told him patients can't have cell phones in their rooms, because they hate Trump and knew they could spare us a night of his tortures? Thank you nurse, Betty!!

I said nothing about ham! That's all you and these Trump haters. Lots of people get transplants from pigs, and its no laughing matter. He is our president, and we need to keep him alive even if it requires an experimental double pig lung transplant. I doubt it will be necessary though. He's going to pull through, and that will be good since no pigs will need to die. He'll be the first president to save a pigs life, and I think its kind of heroic. We should honor him with a medal.

FYI, all you Anti-Mask folks. Here's a lesson you can learn from Donald, should you wish to have a greater risk of dying like him:

Mr. Trump’s persistent refusal to wear a mask may also change the course of his illness; if he became infected while his face was uncovered, he may have been exposed to a greater concentration of virus, which also raises his risk for severe disease, according to experts who have not examined him but were able to speak generally about patients like him.

“My big fear is that he probably had a greater exposure,” said one such expert, Dr. David A. Nace, a geriatrician and director of medical affairs at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s network of 35 nursing facilities. “Right now he’s doing fine, but we’re early in this and we really have to watch him in the next two weeks.”

74 and Overweight, Trump Faces Extra Risks From ‘a Very Sneaky Virus’

When it was announced, I did wonder if he was being a punk and trying to weasle out of a debate where his mic could be cut.

That’s exactly what I thought too.
Also, I figured he could avoid public speaking for a few weaks, then announce his heroically invincible recovery from this minor nuisance of a virus, which nobody should be so afraid of except weak snowflake liberals like Biden.

In most states, it is too late to change the ballots.

I would presume that the ballot with Pence would go forward, with Pence choosing a VP running mate.

I’m still undecided whether you are flaming out of your skull, or brilliantly funny.

BTW - No pig lung transplants have ever been attempted on a human. Pig heart valves, and only recently skin and pancreatic islet cells.
Whole organs are still in the theoretical catagory.

That actually is a fear of mine. If through the heroics of the medical community, and dumb luck, Trump survives, he'll use it as proof masks-don't-matter (MDM, as a counter to BLM). That should result in a few million deaths. You know Trump, he likes big numbers!

Trump is into untested cures, like bleach in the veins. Now might seem like a good case study to test this new miracle cure of a dual lung transplant? Would that then make him officially a pig-man? Would his personality get better, or worse?

I've read that if anything happens to him, the GOP will do a meeting where I think the states would vote for who is his replacement. I still think the states would vote Pence but who knows.

The big question is what happens to his pre existing votes - and if youve already voted, if you can retake the vote under the new circumstances.

That's been discussed in the media. The RNC chooses a candidate according to a defined process. Those inclined to nightmares also went into what happens if the RNC deadlocks and goes downhill from there.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

Apparently, it's not clear exactly what would happen if a candidate dies before election, etc.

Walter Reed has a suite set up for the President. It's set up with all the communication and connectivity he would need to continue to fulfill his role.

gah.... downhill, is something we are more than familiar with this incarnation of the GOP.

 

[Quetzal]

Its clearly a Democrat plot to overthrow the government. to arms to arms

You're kidding, but I have seen some posts calling for exactly that.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

If that happens, be a darling and help me chisel and dig California off of and away from the Union?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And I do feel like saying this is exactly what I mean saying my 2016 vote was a vote against Pence. Because right now the odds are not on Trump's side, and not in a "just enough against him to weasle out of it" EC only win sort of way.
We could very realistically see for a few months a President Pence. And hes even worse for secularism and keeping Conservative Christian dogma out of legislation than Trump is.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

He really would be a pig then, lol.
Put something bear in him, then he'd be the super dreadful Manbearpig, lmao.
