You really don't have a clue do you? An abundance of caution is always taken when dealing with the commander chief, regardless of who it is and that doesn't just apply to illness.

I think he is overestimating the lethality of the confetti and dildo cannons that the left is planning to use.

So just so I got this straight from the Haydukes and Rednecks of the world. If he gets sick it's a laughable joke that embarrassed Trump and if he doesn't get sick it's a hoax. Is it possible that he's simply one of the 70-80% of Americans that are only asymptomatic or that only get mild symptoms? Or do those percentages not apply to elected officials?

He will probably survive it? But wait, I thought for the last few months that everyone was saying he was using witch doctor magic and such?

Lol you are probably right on. Regardless of how Trump looks and says he is feeling the media will be using words like "president appeared a little fatigued"......and God forbid if Trump coughs even a single time while a camera is pointed at him.

The weak/vulnerable/worried can shelter in place....because short of that there is now way to guarantee you won't catch it. For everyone else? Let her rip!

Exactly. If he gets really sick then any doubt about the election is over in my opinion. Biden in a landslide. However, if Trump doesn't get sick with it all bets are off. What's really funny is that the short attention span of his detractors has already been shifted from SCOTUS to a 74 year old man with a cold virus.

Coming from a person that hasn't left their basement since March .........

You are backing yourself into a corner. So when the most visible 74 year old man in this nation makes it through this with relative ease......what will that say about all of the ridiculous restrictions and overreactions that have occurred since March?

The virus is spreading because it's contagious and that's what viruses do. If masks worked there wouldn't be over 1/2 of deaths in nursing homes. Stay hunkered down and if the Trump's don't get sick, get ready for the pop after.

So what happens when he gets no or minimal symptoms and he can demonstrate to the US that 1) Covid isn't such a big deal even to older people as long as they are healthy and 2) He can make the claim (whether true or not) that he was on hydro the entire time and he didn't get sick?

Kenosha still hasn't recovered after losing those pillars of the community.

C'mon man, don't give more credit to rednecks then they deserve. You really think that the shaved head balding leather wearing wanna be bikers are doing anything more than looking for the fight/party? The difference is that the white racists/supremacists get covered.....the "street crime" issue gets minimally covered and even that is blamed on white guys aka systemic racism.

Now smooth over the probabilities to account for the fact that white people are still the majority ethnic group in this country. White supremacists are labeled terrorists while inner city black gang members shooting up the city non-stop ala Chicago = random street crime. Somehow creating an environment where anyone that crosses over to the next block wearing the wrong color isn't labeled terrorism. Nice.

Mine's newer. Gang members infiltrating the military. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/fbi-gang-assessment-us-military-2011-10%3famp

Just a week ago you indicated that you felt sorry for Oxbow's patients.....now you are looking for free telemedicine from him? #ContinuedHypocrisy2020

And besides if they called it what it was, urban renewal, you'd be all up in arms about that too.

I live mere miles from Minnesota, and while I'll visit northern MN it will be a long time before I ever go to an event in the Minneapolis metro again.

Huh.....kind of like officials being directed to make it sound like everything BLM does is peaceful?

And only 6% of ICU beds are currently being used to house sick Covid patients. ICU where the sickest of the sick go.........and only 6% capacity is being used by Covid patients.

Ok I did.....and found many articles on how peer reviews are a flawed system that leave plenty of opportunity for bias and/or fraud just like I said. Here is a Nobel Prize winner saying as much. https://retractionwatch.com/2014/03/03/nobel-prize-winner-calls-peer-review-very-distorted-completely-corrupt-and-simply-a-regression-to-the-mean/ https://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2019/05/early-career-researchers-commonly-ghostwrite-peer-reviews-s-problem https://www.statnews.com/2017/04/28/phony-peer-review/ Take off your blinders.

They both involve humans making decisions..... which opens up the process to potential bias....which is where the real problem can potentially be. Apples to apples. So a researcher has never helped a study along or presented it in a slightly misleading manner to ensure that he/she received continued funding?

Sure you are........what's with the sudden change in stance on your part? So now you believe that those that are vulnerable or worried can choose to take appropriate actions up to and including staying in their cellar, while those that aren't vulnerable or worried can live life normally? It's been a long summer but I'm happy to see that you have finally made progress.

Probably because you and your bunker bunch would have wanted to quarantine him indefinitely until there was a 100% effective vaccine.

Let's hope that is truly the way it always works but also let's not pretend that it doesn't hurt to know someone even in the holy medical community. After all, a deathbed alcoholic Mickey Mantle got a liver transplant at the snap of a finger over how many other people that were waiting in line?
