8 point lead and counting.

Everybody should think about this too....at the debate all of Trump's family and basically republicans refused to mask up....how stupid do they look now and who knows how far this got spread just at that one event.

You really think that his family haven't been tested?   Why do you think that they look "stupid", perhaps you're thinking that wearing a mask provides immunity?

 

"...who knows how far this got spread just at that one event".

Indeed, who knows, I don't, neither do you but maybe not at all?   Certainly not as far as it could have spread as a result of the protests, looting and demonstrations, I'd suggest.

8 overall. In some contested states, margins lower. What with the elector system, it's not a sure thing.

[Emdog]

It is worth noting that the White House didn't admit to infection until it was leaked to Bloomberg news organization.

How long would they have kept this hidden, if they could have?

"Most transparent administration in history"

Yeah, right

True.

But then frame it another way: 100% of people who has no health problems otherwise, recover with no problem.

That is not true!

Will he self-administer his recommended Bleach 'cure'?

Complete misinformation. Young and healthy people are dying or being incapacitated by COVID-19. Several of my son's friends in Australia have succumbed.

[cmarshall]

Covid probably widespread throughout the White House.

I'd rather be 8 points ahead than 8 points behind. There's now only a couple of points difference in Texas of all places.

Chances that trump is trolling? 

I suspect it.

Also, a week or two ago there was a rumor that someone in the inner circle tested positive.  Maybe that was a test run to explore the possibility.

"...the most immoral and corrupt president in American history". 

The funny thing is you cannot back up that assertion rationally or empirically.

You trump supporters never fail to amaze, by not seeing what is reported in respectable news media and many instances of which have been posted on here, so I'll give you a few clues........ 

 

– trump was ordered to pay back over $2 million to the charities that he filched that money from in order to pay his campaign bills

.

– trump has been bankrupted six times or more and in doing so has been able to circumvent the need to pay the everyday working American contractor.

 

– trump utilised illegal immigrant labour on some of his building projects and also paid them well below the going rate – – simply because he could.

 

– getting one's lawyer to pay off one of trumps extramarital affairs, is not a good look for a president.

 

– Denigrating an American war hero, Jon McCain, when trump himself dodged the draft.

 

– Denigrating a disabled reporter in front of the cameras, for a nation to see.

 

– Failing to take action in early January when the Covid 19 virus was reported as being in the USA, however he is now famous for the words, "it's just like the flu" and "we have it under control", and "by April it will go away".

 

– Then of course there is the famous quotes about grabbing women by the ........ssy.

 

I don't really need to go on because you must know about this unless, unless, unless, that is, that you are a trump supporter and can't be bothered dealing with the truth.

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

Yes, some. What's the percentage, though?

 

Anyone can recover with some problems from any desease whatsoever, even from cold. So what?

The percentage is higher with those who are in Trump's age group. His obesity, lack of exercise and propensity towards junk food are significant risks. If you think this is like the common cold, I will excuse myself and let you dwell on your ignorance.

Well, it's a man on a respirator who ignored the advice of his own team of experts.

I like it how you’re first begging people to show sympathy for a guy that doesn’t give a damn about the well-being of other people just to go on an verbally abuse that guy’s opponents. So don’t expect anyone to buy your fake moral compass that you tried claim.

It'll hang on  the Lonesome Dove electors...which,as you know,is no place for old men..there'll be blood but it is how the west was won.

Bear in mind that the death numbers that you quoted are for those who tested positive for Covid-19 at the time of death and include those who would have died anyway from underlying illnesses even if they hadn't contracted the virus. 

Bear in mind that they didn’t make it that far but died before they could die of “underlying illnesses”. But yeah, “relax”.

Maybe....you know out of respect for Trump and all of the senate leaders that have been around him recently (all masked up at all times I am sure and should be in quarantine as well now including the nominee herself since she has been in contact with Trump personally very recently) they should postpone the SCOTUS confirmation hearings as well? Cant wait to hear the right howl about that suggestion...LOL!!!

So wishing ill on other people is against your religion but parroting trump's infantile name calling is OK?

Relax, Thaivisa celebrants, he's caught a virus that's proved to be slightly less dangerous than the flu.

Exactly.  The virus has a high transmissibility rate and a low mortality rate.

Not as many as are normally killed by the flu every year, though.  Relax.

 

Bear in mind that the death numbers that you quoted are for those who tested positive for Covid-19 at the time of death and include those who would have died anyway from underlying illnesses even if they hadn't contracted the virus.  Being C-19 positive at the time of death doesn't mean that C-19 was the cause of death.

 

Relax.

 

This was 'achieved' in less than a year. And it's not instead of the flu, but on top of it. People surviving Covid seem to have ongoing health issues as well.

 

Bear in mind that no matter how you spin this, 200,000 Americans are dead. If you think it matters whether Covid-19 was the sole cause of death, or whether it simply gave that last shove - try and sell that to them people who died, and their families.

So did you volunteer for testing or anything?

Yep. Only 200k dead in the US. Nothing to worry about.
