Trump says he will leave hospital Monday, urges people not to fear the deadly virus

Translation:
FU the experts be like me and ignore guidelines.

6:30 PM just as the evening news on the east coast begin their broadcasts, what a coincidence(sarcasm).

I expect bullying of people who choose to wear a mask to ramp up if nothing further happens to him.

Why might something further happen to him?
How to Understand Trump’s Evolving Condition


Even without a second phase, I envision Trump in order to look macho for the election, to own the libs may do too much too soon.

The Joint Chiefs are the real braintrust, the power behind the throne, so to speak. When Richard Nixon was nearing the end of his presidency due to imminent impeachment, he started drinking heavily at night and becoming quite paranoid and reactionary [dare I say, Trump-like...?] and the Joint Chiefs decided to update the codes [which is apparently done on a regular basis, for OBVIOUS reasons] with non-legitimate ones as they viewed a drunk, psychotic [soon to abdicate], president as a threat to global security. This wasn't disclosed until the sometime in the past twenty years, but as Trump had indeed expressed interest at least once in issuing a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea, and because he is... the way he is, I have had serious doubts for most of his term that he even has the real codes, especially in times such as this when his health is below normal functioning [even for him]. He clearly suffers from some sort of learning disability and/or psychosis [this is not coming from me, literally dozens of psychiatrists have expressed this since before he was elected], and I have no doubt that the System is well aware of this and contingency plans are underway to secure the Union with or without DJT's approval. There is far too much at stake to allow one man to run the show, this isn't a monarchy and it never has been.

I see the old boy is up and about in the white house

the only good thing about that is it saves us from a president pence.

Thank goodness he's alive and well.

Now, Mr. President, the American people would like a word with you...

I am still waiting for him to say "It is not a big deal if you get it."

Keep in mind that the illness might return... It is not uncommon for COVID symptoms to fluctuate.

I have seen several references to days 7 to 10 after the infection being the most severe. If so (and assuming that Trump was indeed first diagnoses on Thursday 1 October) he could be at risk of becoming even more ill at the end of this week.

Biden defends decision by Trump’s doctors to withhold medical information

According to Trump after returning back to work
"Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life," Trump tweeted earlier Monday, even though his doctors had described worrying symptoms and he was treated with combination of experimental therapies unavailable to nearly anyone else.

when he said those things, i very nearly hurled a jar of mayonnaise at the tv screen. the sheer unadulterated marie antoinette-style GALL and hypocrisy. mentioning the excellent health care that he wants to deny the rest of us.

Apparently, a total of 33 individuals in Trumps orbit have now been infected by corona since October 1:

And these are just the confirmed cases...

I love data analysis - and that table is a fine example. Truly, I'm not being sarcastic.
A gold star to whoever put that together - complete with 170 citations!

Now I understand a lot better:
(a) why no-one will say when Trump last tested negative; and
(b) why he's out of hospital already

The answer is because he likely caught covid back around 26th September - or even earlier.
But they can't admit that because quite likely he wasn't careful enough about mask-wearing and social distancing and may have since been spreading it around. Hence no confirmation of last date of negative test.
If so, that would mean he's had it for about 10 days - which would put him beyond the most dangerous period around the 7-10 day mark. Hence release from hospital.

I thought the same thing, it seems quite probable.

So Boris' worst 3 days came 10 days after testing positive.
Comparing that to the Trump timeline adds to my suspicion he'd been carrying it for a while without knowing.
(Or if not, he might get worse yet and I'm surprised they let him out of hospital).

Looked like he was panting for breath outside the WH

Do you think it's OK for journos to be asking for so many details of Trump's health? Like, exactly how low did his oxygen level go, did he have a fever, what treatments is he taking?
Are they invading his privacy?
Or does that get trumped (excuse the unintended pun) by the public interest?
