If I was Trump I'd milk it for all it was worth and get the election delayed. I imagine Biden trying to push through an election against a man on a respirator would work against him big time

It doesn't work that way, Pence would take over if Trump was incapacitated.

Right now, with 7+ million official cases and 206,000+ CV deaths since the beginning, the U.S. is running a case fatality ratio of about 2.9%, meaning that's the share who are dying overall out of all confirmed infection cases. Obviously, the share skews higher with the higher ages and other issues.

 

The official infection rate is 63+ per 100,000 population, though that's widely considered to be a vast undercount due to lack of testing.

True, true, but how many of these affected badly are 70+, overweight, hate exercise and have diet consisting of McDonald's, KFC and Coca Cola?

I assume you are misinterpreting the Comorbidities section.  The Covid 19 virus rarely kills directly, but it causes lethal comorbidities such as pneumonia and respiratory failure which then cause death.  It's still death caused by the virus.

Drew a mixture of shock, sympathy, undisguised glee as well as outrage and curiosity across the world.

Dr Tedros sent best wishes and quick recovery which is classy. Tokyo sent a cheeky message to remind the importance of mask. China had a jab at Trump saying “POTUS paid the price for his gamble to play down COVID-19”. Iran expectedly was unkind with unflattering image of Trump surrounded by giant coronavirus. Wonder is this a shock advertising by Trump to boast his brand. Quite disastrous, I must say.

IMO, that is their own life choices,
something the rest of the public should not be concerned with
definitely not something we should close economies for.

do you have a source for this statement please ?
or is this just your opinion ?

If you have seen ANY of my posts, you'll figure out I can't stand the tangerine sack of sins, but 1 in 20 chances of mortality? No.

I challenge you to find one person on this forum who has EVER cheered economies getting shut down

For those of us over 70, yes, shutting down the globe is OK.  We have rights also.

Since I believe in both, karma and you reap as you sow, which for me are the same thing It was not ironic at all. I wanted to say this is another way of saying karma more accepted by many.

You obviously don't understand the concept of Karma.

What you do in this life affects what happens in the NEXT life.

If Karma operated within one life-time, mob-bosses wouldn't die peacefully in their beds and bad things wouldn't happen to good people.

Is wishing harm on others also immoral when the world as a whole and the US in particular would be better off without him?

do you prefer "social mob rule" over democracy ?

i dont play the game myself, but its why countries have elections, no ?

Wow.

 

An election game changer?

Could be.  Although it is hard to judge in which direction at the moment.  Trump will probably gain some sympathy though it is never his MO to try that.  He prefers to be seen as the bully.  He has played down the pandemic since day one, only rarely wearing a mask and ridiculing others for doing so.  The cost of his approach has no doubt added to the amount of body bags.  However his supporters won't see it that way.

 

Trump's cavalier attitude to the pandemic, holding large rallies and packing them full of his supporters, along with rarely wearing, or having his entourage wearing masks in public, lend to the irony of him now having the virus.

 

I assume there will now be no toe to toe sessions with Biden before the election and it looks like Trump will have to conduct his electioneering from within the White House from now on.  Does this mean that Pence will have to get out and about campaigning in his place?????

They're not mutually exclusive. You can democratically elect a socialist government. Common in Europe.

And the US, loosely defined as a Democracy (I know, it's technically a Republic but calls itself a Democracy), has many socialist programs. Schools, roads, libraries, firefighters, blah blah blah.

"The CDC data shows the vast majority have not died with C19 alone"

i did not state what was the actual cause of these deaths
merely stated these deaths were not soley by covid, as CDC data clearly shows
huge difference in my statement????

nothing to do with NEXT life since there is no next life

 

The definition of karma is the destiny that you earn through your actions and behavior. When you behave kindly, this is an example of a situation where you earn good karma that will result in good things happening to you in the future.

kar·ma

  • 1. (in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.

I believe Pence will soon be grounded as well. He was in close contact with plenty of spreaders.

Try reading your own definition.

Both religions believe in re-incarnation.

Yes!!! ???? Karma is such a bitch! Maybe Biden won’t have an opponent to compete with very soon! 
 

I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if this was just a ploy to fish for sympathy since he’s behind on the polls and lost the first debate!
