COVID-19 aka 2019 (and 2020) Novel Coronavirus

[WetEV]

Here are some actual numbers of what happens to confirmed cases of trump virus.
Now this was back in march when testing sucked and treatments were just about non existent.

Let's say trump is in the 75 to 84 age range for worst case scenario:
30.5% are hospitalized
10.5% go to the ICU
4.3% go in the ground

It appears that being president for 1 term ages you up to 10 years.

Trump is obese. CDC says 3X the risk. Trump is male. The ratio between male deaths and female death is about 2:1. Yet treatments are better, risk is lower. And any statements about Trump's public medical history is mostly fiction, so who knows what other conditions he has. So any precise estimate of risk is worth less than whatever you paid for it.

Yet the order of magnitude is knowable. Somewhere around 10%. 4%? Yea, maybe. 16%? Yea, that too. We don't know, we can not know.

Trump is not well, so faces still higher risk.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

Based on the learning curve of this virus, ANY info from as far back as March has little value.

Personally, I don't wish that ANYONE die from this. However, a karma/reality check of discomfort is in order for those that have been deniers from the beginning. We all know who they are, and THEY know who THEY are.

Someone I know had a "moderate" case. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Not a single person in those pics wore masks.

I caught the tail end of https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/10/04/jason-miller-trump-coronavirus-walter-reed-outing-nr-cabrera-vpx.cnn on TV and stopped watching. If you care and start at about 6:00, it seems the Trump campaign (or that guy in the campaign) is clueless or they aren't taking it seriously.

He wasn't willing to mandate masks and social distancing. He talked about taking temperatures (but that's not infallible). He pointed out a reporter at the ACB event caught it and was wearing a mask the whole time but gee, hardly anyone else was and they weren't spaced apart properly.

Trump's doctors say he is taking dexamethasone.

Psychiatric

A wide range of psychiatric reactions including affective disorders (e.g., irritable, euphoric, depressed, labile mood, and suicidal ideation) psychotic reactions (e.g., mania, delusions, hallucinations, aggravation of schizophrenia), behavioral disturbances, irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbances and cognitive dysfunction (e.g., confusion, amnesia) have been reported. These reactions have been reported in adults and children. In adults, the occurrence of severe reactions has been estimated to be about 5% to 6%.

How will we know if he has these psychiatric reactions???????

A careful person, before taking a drug like that, would disconnect himself/herself from dangerous things. Not drive, not use power saws, and hand the nuclear codes over to someone else.

Trump does not seem to be a careful person.

Trump, Conway, Barr, McEnany... The Four Horsemen of the Bull-pocalypse. Now I'm seriously convinced this is staged. I suspect Trump reasoned his toughest opponent for 2020 was Coronavirus so now he and his entourage need to appear that they have "defeated" the virus by sheer virtue of their "toughness". It's almost too Trumpian to not be true.

+2 deputies per https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/white-house-press-secretary-kayleigh-mcenany-tests-positive-covid-19-n1242130:

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is the latest official to test positive for Covid-19, she revealed on Twitter on Monday morning, adding to a swelling number positive tests after President Donald Trump contracted the virus the virus last week.

Two of her deputies — assistant press secretary Karoline Leavitt and principal assistant press secretary Chad Gilmartin, who is related to McEnany's husband — also contracted Covid-19 and are working from home, sources confirmed.

Eleven people tied to the president have contracted the virus in recent days. Additionally, three Republican senators have tested positive for the disease.

Nearly a third of hospitalized Covid-19 patients experienced some type of altered mental function — ranging from confusion to delirium to unresponsiveness — in the largest study to date of neurological symptoms among coronavirus patients in an American hospital system.

Of course he had to post this:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 4h
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

I guess he should tell that to the other 200K Americans who have died from Trumpvirus?

 

[WetEV]

Really great drugs. Really really great drugs. Great drugs, man. :lol:

Detoxification.

Said nobody with Covid-19 symptoms, ever. Why does everything with this guy have to be hyperbole to the point of ridiculousness?

 

[gncndad]

...and the first thing he does at the WH? Takes off his mask. IF he has covid19, he's still highly contagious.
