Looking good for Trump recovering.

I guess those that wished him to die of it will be disappointed.

 

NB I'm not referencing any poster on TVF, but plenty on "social media", from what they are saying on talkback radio here, that do wish him dead.

So you believe what some talkback radio media claims that social media is saying?

 

That's fine but watch out for them rabbit holes.

Impressive and inspirational in equal measures. His strength hasn't gone un-noticed, and his resilience makes the fear mongers look rather silly IMO. 

I heard he was able to hum “man, woman, camera, TV, Yosemite” without any hiccups while the crowd was chanting “go Donnie, go Donnie”.

Seriously, "THEY MAY DIE" ?

 

Let's take a look at the secret service risk profile.  I would dare say that none of them will die seeing as the risk profile for someone healthy and under 70 is the same as the risk profile for flu.............. or less.

 

Age Group                                           Probability of Survival

0-19:                                                    99.997%

20-49:                                                  99.98%

50-69:                                                  99.5%

70+:                                                     94.6%

Some isn't none, and if it was possibly someone you cared about, those stats would look mighty different.

The Secret Service is expected to take a bullet for the President.  They shouldn't be required to catch a virus from the President.

I seriously doubt the secret service hires people that are high in the risk profile, do you?

[steevjee]

I sense a fake, he and his team are so desperate now to get voter sympathy.

Watch out for the miraculous recovery so that he can  hopefully water down just how dangerous Covid is and justify his poor efforts to stem the tide of illness and death amongst his countrymen.

His Medical team are sworn to secrecy so how can it be proven that it's totally staged?

It's hermetically sealed to protect against chemical attack from the OUTSIDE!  I am unaware if the system is equipped to scrub the internal air to the extent it will prevent a virus contained in exhalation droplets.

Normaly you need to make higher air pressure inside vehicle to keep bad sht outside! That what was system in my tank, and then filtrate incoming air. Only incoming! Why filtrate normaly "clean" air inside! Nobody think you get chemical attack inside vehicle! Like what dear Potus now done! He cough dirty air inside and maybe infect all!

Trump Didn’t Disclose First Positive Covid-19 Test While Awaiting a Second Test on Thursday

As with all else with this guy and his gang the more that gets revealed the stinkier it gets.

 

Anyone familiar with the movie Dave ??

 

 

well, this explains why the head doctor at the press conference was so evasive about answering when asked when the president had last tested positive.

 

i bet those donors that paid up to $250,000 to buy influ, i mean support his re-election campaign, will be pleased to hear trump knew he was positive (or at least knew he was exposed to positive hicks) BEFORE the event.

“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick, they may die. For political theater, commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater.”

Experts raise questions about severity of Trump's COVID-19

By Deena Beasley and Michael Erman

 

U.S. President Donald Trump rides in front of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he is being treated for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S. October 4, 2020. REUTERS/Cheriss May

 

(Reuters) - Doctors not involved in treating President Donald Trump for COVID-19 said the fact that he has been started on dexamethasone - a generic steroid widely used in other diseases to reduce inflammation - is evidence his case is severe.

 

Full story: https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1185880-experts-raise-questions-about-severity-of-trumps-covid-19/

 This is a pic of him leaving the hospital briefly to show thanks to his faithful .For a couple of days a very large crowd of Patriots  standing outside waving flags ! beeping horns as cars pass bye all in support of the POTUS !

 I seen reports of people coming from different states to be part of the well wishers  !

 

But you missed the bits of the Queen of England blowing kisses from her balcony in Buckingham Palace in direction of Washington; and the Eiffel tower all lit up in neon orange spelling the name

"T-R-O-U-M-P" (french pronunciation.)

 

In all, ahem, seriousness, behind dark tinted gllass window and a mask bigger than the one Trump mocked Biden with, that could have been a stand-in - or in this case a "sit-in." The real person might be wearing something a bit more "entangling" than a mask. And I'm sure Walter Reed has plenty of those in reserve.

I don't. It would have leaked. He's really sick. I agree if he recovers without obvious organ damage then he will pose as a hero and continue to lie to his cult of personality followers that the virus is no big deal.

National polls don't matter, any more than national vote. Biden could take every single vote in California and New York and it would affect nothing.

 

Only state-by-state polls count.

 

That's right, but it's a mental and logical problem, too. The minority of votes (of all states) is enough to win an election in the USA as it happened last time in 2016???  . That's a sad joke. If Trump would win again by a minority voting, America ist for me the LOS  = Land Of the Stupid.

“Optics matter right now,” said one senior aide close to Meadows, adding: “Shows of strength and resilience are crucial. For the American public, but also those watching abroad.”

 

Also in the article it said 

Deere said precautions included personal protective equipment, without providing further details, and added that the trip “was cleared by the medical team as safe to do.”

Trump is being treated with steroids.

 

I’ve been treated with steroids for a lung disease, they are a very powerful therapy that very rapidly suppress inflammation in the lung and thereby greatly ease breathing which in itself gives an apparent improvement in health.

 

But it’s a mask, the disease is still there.

 

Don’t expect anything but a long hard slog until Trump beats the disease or the disease beats Trump.

 

There will be no ‘miraculous’ recovery, just like the virus didn’t miraculously disappear.

 

 

[Dumbastheycome]

I have just watched the  various medical update presentations available so far and note that the mood being conveyed is being  kept very positive. I think that as part of that is the suggestion Trump may be fit enough to return to the  White House. Spin maybe? One Doctor of the enviable  "team" did mention that as part of the more usual progression of the virus in symptomatic patients is a sudden regression to a more serious state. I recall Boris  Johnston  was "doing well" until he  wasn't !

Meanwhile Pence is publicly trooping about despite being one of many in various  gatherings containing  others  who have now been  confirmed as positive infected with others almost inevitably due to join that rank.

The initial proposition that the extended members of the Trump dynasty would cover events on behalf when in reality the majority of them should be self quarantining themselves suggests a very significant level of chaos. Billie Barr has reportedly  run for  cover. More Republican Senators are likely to start falling like sacrificial  dominoes yet. If kingpin McConnell goes down what then ?

This has become a debacle that more likely than not could have been avoided !

Organ damage is never "obvious" unless you are the terminator with x-ray vision. Also for all that power and money can buy all covid drugs so far are only supportive, not curative. Time to remodel Mar a largo into a rehab/home care center.

I disagree it is often obvious. Such as with strokes a quite common result of bad cases of Covid-19. Of course I do agree not always obvious. But in that case doctors will know the truth and I have zero confidence that the public will be told the truth.

That's nothing compared to the SNP MP Margaret Ferrier who caught a packed public train on a multiple hour journey AFTER testing positive for Covid19. That's right, knowing she was positive she got on a packed train with members of the public for several hours. Amazing SNP.
