Just a reminder that US President Donald Trump is 74 years old, and Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden is 77 years old, which means both are at greater risk of severe illness from coronavirus.
Biden appeared with Trump at the presidential debate on Tuesday, where Trump mocked Biden for wearing a mask.

The White House hasn’t responded to questions from my colleague about which officials have been exposed to Hicks and we are trying to confirm whether Pence and Trump have been in close contact this week.
For now, there is this from Bloomberg:
When they returned to Washington on Tuesday, Stephen Miller and Hicks were seen sharing an umbrella as they exited Air Force One in the rain. Miller’s wife, Katie Miller – Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary – recovered from Covid-19 earlier this year.
CNN medical analyst Jonathan Reiner says that House speaker Nancy Pelosi should be in isolation as it is possible that both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence could become ill, in which case she would likely need to step in:

Within that 14-day period, Trump is due to speak at rallies in Florida, Wisconsin and Arizona. All three are swing states.

I'm guessing he's asymptomatic at least atm? :think:
He’s 70+ isn’t he? Wow heard the death rate is worse for older people and FAT people. Just like trump :worry: scary stuff!
pence is always close by him, so he probably has it too

He'll obviously get the best medical care so there's most likely no risk of anything fatal/terminal happening. I don't really see where there's a potential for the election being delayed either; haven't those wheels already been set in motion? I don't know what the procedure for an incumbent falling (perhaps deathly) ill towards the end of a term would be; surely it'd be Pence taking over?

If by 20th January next year someone isn’t elected, the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi would automatically become president until someone is elected.

there are all sorts of conspiracy theories floating around ...
-Realising that he is going to lose the election, he pretends to be ill, cedes power to pence who then pardons him
- is it a tactic to disrupt the election ... did he give it to Biden
If it was anyone other than trump, everyone would believe it, but not with Trump.
The other issue is that this affects both the senate and a lot of top security officials who should now be quarantining ... its a real **** show :laugh:

no delays, if necessary just cancel election and give power to Nancy Pelosi
then some real change for the better could come to america, with no longer the failed republicans in command
Donald could've prevented it so easy being infected, if he had worn face masks more often (and also this is his karma kinda for mocking/laughing at Biden who did wear a face mask at debate)
CNN already spoke if Donald is no longer capable of being president, that Pence should take over, that scenario also already on people's minds
but we'll see in next few days, important if he'll have any symptoms of the virus or not

the election will not be delayed. He contracted it from his own negligence

Considering his **** leadership has been responsible for over 200k deaths, considering the children that have died or gone missing after being seperated from their parents under his watch at the border (among other human rights abuses in that situation), considering the violence he's fuelled from the extreme right
Really with this edit? The man is responsible for 200,000 deaths in the US. I don't think we should get precious over wishing death on him. Would we be as precious about Kim Jong Un? Or any other leader responsible for mass death?

depends how serious a dose he gets ... if its next to nothing he will say he was right, there is nothing to worry about
if he survives but is at deaths door, it may be a different matter ... but if he isn't president, i don't think it will matter.
I keep thinking that this is a planned event to get pence to take over, give trump a bucket full of pardons and trump disappears into the sunset

I keep thinking that this is a planned event to get pence to take over, give trump a bucket full of pardons and trump disappears into the sunsetFor any normal person that would be the best scenario but I'm concerned about Trump being isolated ie not on TV - for any period of time. He will hate that and I'm not sure he could actually self isolate for any amount of time. He needs that limelight and adulation too much. I see the play you're suggesting happening after the election if he loses but, this has come at the worst time for him. Bidens out there campaigning while Trumps in bed isnt something I can see Donnie tolerating.

If any world leader endangered their people like Trump has, then they deserve no sympathy.
Also your comparison is flawed since no countries, even when you adjust to ratios, has suffered losses like the US. Trump's deadly incompetence has been catastrophic for the US and there should be no defending it no matter which side of the political spectrum you fall on.

Then **** her too for being incompetent. It's a bit strange that you mention her being female and liberal though, are you suggesting that's why she is incompetent? Are you trying to be like 'Look, the other side is incompetent too!' because either is a grim take to have.
This is a pandemic, I don't care about a leader's political leaning, I only care whether they are handling the situation in a competent manner, perhaps you should strive to do the same rather than trying to defend gross incompetence based on whether the leader is right wing or not.

What's grim is you trying to group in Trump with the rest of the leaders, tbh. He is not a man struggling to solve the problem that is the pandemic, he's content with trampling over the dead and pretending it's not a problem. He is not breaking his back trying to solve the problem, he's going to lengths to deny and downplay and push a fake cure to help his son's stock portfolio.
I have sympathy for world leaders that are doing their best, there's plenty of countries that have been hit hard yet are holding their own like Japan and Korea who are right next to China, yet they've kept a hold of things through quick action and by tackling the problem head on.
Any leader that downplayed and dismissed the virus despite advance warnings is grossly incompetent and a danger to their people. Trump is the president, it's his incompetence that has led to the 200k+ deaths that the US has suffered.

Trump isn’t going to die because he’s going to receive the most prime healthcare while Americans don’t even get access to basic health care and are dying right under his nose, directly as a result of a bs system his politics perpetuate

I have sympathy for world leaders that are doing their best, there's plenty of countries that have been hit hard yet are holding their own like Japan and Korea who are right next to China, yet they've kept a hold of things through quick action and by tackling the problem head on.
Any leader that downplayed and dismissed the virus despite advance warnings is grossly incompetent and a danger to their people. Trump is the president, it's his incompetence that has led to the 200k+ deaths that the US has suffered.
So Trump is uniquely mishandling it then despite other countries faring worse? Got it
Sure there's a lot of mistakes in there and of course many mistakes have been made at a local level in the US where governors etc. have more control over what happens in their area really than the President does. Where does the list of 'people who deserve to die because of their response to Covid' end though? Better off not having one in the first place imo

Trump isn’t going to die because he’s going to receive the most prime healthcare while Americans don’t even get access to basic health care and are dying right under his nose, directly as a result of a bs system his politics perpetuate
its a system Americans vote for and Americans think our NHS is crazy and would never vote for it in a month of sundays

Trump denied the virus was a thing even though he and other world leaders were warned about it weeks before it became a pandemic. He spread discord, he pushed hydroxychloroquine because of his family's business interests and he made out that the 'fuss' surrounding it was a left wing ploy. It's no coincidence that the worst hit states are red states and counties within them that are run by Trump allies.
So yes, you've got it right. Trump is rather unque but not alone (oh hi, Jair Bolsonero!) in his incompetence and it certainly impacts my empathy for him when hundreds of thousands of families have lost loved ones due to his incompetence and influence.
I implore you to let your political biases slide and simply criticise Trump for his mishandling of the situation rather then try to defend him out of Right Wing solidarity. This isn't an issue about left or right (although you certainly tried with your example in the post about the liberal leader), it's about who is handling the virus well and my sympathy will never be with those leaders who are not, my heart will go out only to those who have lost their lives or family due to the virus, not the people in charge who let it get this bad.

It’s really gross that some members are wishing death on leaders/people.
That used to be a banable offence... I guess if it’s trump or certain people then it’s okay :shrug:
I hope he recovers well, I wouldn’t wish unwell on any US/U.K. politician, using your left/right wing stance or your political stance to wish death upon others is not acceptable at all and People that have these views have a very worrying and unhealthy outlook on life/politics
It’s incredibly worrying. What’s next, someone says something non PC in 5 years, let’s kill them? They deserve death?? In 50 years, I don’t like their song.. hope they perish!
It’s scary that people cant disagree with Politics/views without wishing Ill harm on opposing views/topical issues.
Much respect for joeySteele for not wishing harm on one of his political enemies, he shows a good leave of maturity and is able to seperate personal from political. People can certainly learn from him.

But if someone constantly goes against scientific advice and uses their power and platform to mock mask wearers, doesn’t social distance, holds rallies of thousands of their cult members not social distanced or wearing masks, let’s the virus spread further as a direct consequence of their actions and then catches COVID, a virus they were calling a hoax months ago, then they are to blame.

A president that routinely calls the virus a hoax, encourages people not to wear masks or social distance if they don’t want to, mocks people for following the health guidelines that keep people as safe as possible, most definitely needs to be accountable for his behaviour what people do or don’t do, as a result of it

If we were talking about Putin, or Kim Jong Un, or any other world leader who has caused suffering on a mass scale, would you be making out that people were evil for not caring if they lived or died? I think not.
As I said before, in majority of the post you chose to ignore because it deflated your argument completely that it's as much local government's fault as federal, The large number of deaths in the US is purely down to Trump's leadership downplaying the virus and turning it into a political weapon against the left. So many people are convinced it's not real or not a problem because of him and, as I said before, that's proven by looking at red states and states in which Trump Allies are in charge of, which tend to be the worst hit by the virus. Brazil is also high in Covid deaths and that's no doubt down to Bolsonero being similarly dismissive of Covid like Trump is. It's common sense really, if you have a leader that's spreading misinformation and is downplaying the virus, the country they run will suffer for it.
You're trying to make me out to be some vicious evil person for not caring about someone whose incompetence has caused so much loss for hundreds of thousands of families. My sympathy goes to them, not the monster that enabled such widespread death.

Well there was a microbiologist on ITV a week or so ago saying that you can fit 250,000 Covid particles on a pinhead which equates to an ant walking through some park gates when you think your mask is gonna protect you ( or anyone else ) .

I don't think he "deserves" to die but he's in his mid 70's, a large catalyst in a historic rift in American society, a white supremacist and an alleged (in my opinion probable) sex offender possibly including minors.

Maybe because he's bad, maybe because he's stupid and powerful and has insisted on "all the best cutting edge stuff". With Trump it could honestly be either. I think he's proven himself to be naive enough about health to believe that taking every experimental treatment going is a good idea - and insisting on it would be pretty on-brand.

I'm not accusing him of those things, he is those things. He is dangerously incompetent, he has enabled widespread death. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it's a duck. It's not dangerous or irresponsible to hold a leader accountable for his actions, and his actions have had grave irreversible consequences for so many people that have lost loved ones.
To me, he is no different to Kim Jong Un, or Putin or any other monster in a position of power and I doubt you would ever show those leaders the same consideration you're showing Trump now. I don't pretend to feel sorry for cruel people when karma comes a-knocking. If he dies, it'll be no one's fault but his own and I'll be glad that the world would be rid of him.

Hang on they taking him there
as he trying some new Experimental Meds
that needs a Proper Hospital as back up.
If its true then I wish him a speedy recovery but the fact he was the one who announced it, makes me very suspicious.
...I’m still sceptical with it all../..the timing of it etc...and how quickly he’s apparently deteriorated ...it was said that any determination if it was to happen, would be in around 10 days or so...similar to Boris...but it seems to have happened within hours...something that appears to be baffling many people...anyways, sceptical has been his game and way with COVID...so he’s very much been a promoter and supporter of sceptical...
If we’ve learned anything over the last four years, it’s that Donald Trump is a despicable human being and that calling him a “human being” may be too kind. Child separation, attacks on widows, “suckers” and “losers,” indifference about 200,000 dead Americans—you know his greatest hits. But on Tuesday night, during the first presidential debate, Trump apparently thought that the best way to reach undecided voters would be by making the case that he’s truly one of the worst people on earth and that there is no contest between him and Joe Biden vis-à-vis who is several rungs below pond scum on the asshole scale.
Hitting Trump on the report that he called dead soldiers “suckers” and “losers,” Biden told the president, “The way you talk about the military, the way you talk about them being losers and just being suckers—my son was in Iraq. He spent a year there. He got the Bronze Star. He got the Conspicuous Service medal. He was not a loser. He was a patriot, and the people left behind there were heroes.”
“Are you talking about Hunter?” Trump snarled.
“I’m talking about my son Beau Biden,” the former vice president said, referring to his son who died of brain cancer five years ago.
“I don’t know Beau,” Trump said without skipping a beat before launching into an attack on Biden’s son who is living, and whom he tried desperately to convince Ukraine to smear last year. “I know Hunter. Hunter got thrown out of the military. He was thrown out, dishonorably discharged…for cocaine use, and he didn’t have a job until you became vice president.”
While no one would have thought any less of Biden if he’d crossed the stage to sock Trump in the mouth, instead he offered a response that very likely connected with a lot of people in the country in a way that the current president never could, particularly considering America is still in the middle of an opioid crisis. “My son, like a lot of people, like a lot of people we know at home, had a drug problem,” Biden said. “He’s overtaken it. He’s fixed it. He’s worked on it. And I’m proud of him. I’m proud of my son.”
In sum, if viewers took one thing away from the debate, it’s probably that Donald Trump is a terrible person who has zero compunction about trashing someone’s son as they’re speaking about another child they tragically lost to brain cancer.

Again I'm not the one accusing leaders of being 'monsters', 'dangerously incompetent' and having 'enabled widespread death' so I don't need to say the same - I haven't used that language about anyone because I think it's disproportionate and irresponsible
There's two issues here - one is how well/badly Trump has handled the pandemic; the second is whether he deserves to die for it. I am solely arguing on the second one: that he does not deserve to die.
I have called our PM and in fact his best whole Cabinet dangerously incompetent and in my view, along with many other families, his lack of provision and action did enable the deaths of elderly, who were among the most vulnerable anyway, in Care homes.
The incompetence of not preparing proper testing and supplies of adequate protection equipment being largely the cause of those deaths.
Trump has dismissed and talked utter dangerous nonsense on this virus.
Plus thrown caution to the wind for himself and to others too.
At his rallies.
However, I'll repeat, I wished Johnson a good recovery when he had it, despite my total contempt for the man as a leader.
In fact I don't think he'd fully over it yet.
So much for those who say it's just a flu.
Earlier I said I hoped Trump will get over this too.
I never wish death on anyone.
I also stated clearly I'd never wish this virus on anyone.
I've lost people to it and know how cruel, hateful and destructive it is.
However, we have to judge all leaders, on competence, care and justice from what they do when they win power.
So I will restate I do consider both the leader of the USA and our PM as having been dangerously incompetent.
I do in part hold Johnson and his government responsible for the environment that lost so many deaths of those who needed protection in Care homes.
I'll stand by all that and never think it disproportionate and irresponsible.
This is a truly evil virus.
The destruction it leaves can be life changing fir life and that's even if you survive from a vulnerable grouping.
Something Trump has played down.
However again, as I did with our incompetent leader, I hope again for the USA incompetent on this pandemic leader.
A full recovery and as soon as possible.
Because this is a very destructive virus, which IF it really gets hold of you, is cruel and frightening as well as likely fatal too.

If that's all he has I agree with you they wouldn't get much knowledge from an experimental treatment.
I'd be more inclined to think because of his age it's a precautionary matter to have him in hospital hopefully.
Yes, Johnson went to Hospital later in his time with it but he is far younger than Trump.
So it makes sense to, with him in his 70s, to keep him under observation in hospital.

...I just can’t fathom atm...’experimental’ being used on the President of the USA...
I think its only experimental as far as Covid goes. Its been used successfully for other illnesses, Sars etc so I think its safe for human use but not proven for treating Covid as yet.
i'm still not sure if it's all true or not and that comes from the history of his administration flat out lying on a regular basis
What has become clear is that people were/are not being tested every day at the WH and the test they use under reports infection by 30%. They haven't been able to say when Trump was last tested before he was tested positive ... that's odd, and one scenario is that the reason he has a fever etc is because he has actually had the virus for a week already ... probably from the judge event the previous weekend. Which means he was infected at the time of his debate with Biden. That being the case ... it could take up to 14 days from the date of the debate for Biden to test positive, so testing negative yesterday is no indicator. This could get even more crazy yet

one day you have a test, you are fine.

Biden will be tested more frequently now, his campaigning will resume
also yesterday saw few interviews with Biden-Voters, even one who had voted for republicans in last election, but now he couldn't due to Trump's lackings in handling the coronavirus outbreak crisis
and this morning (also at CNN) i saw something about air force one too, that they are looking into if personnel there are also infected, so they get tested more too out of precaution (since Trump did not wear a mask last time he was on that)

Trumps furious at his chief of staff for saying his vitals were concerning . So that must be true then? :shrug:
Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows reportedly infuriated his boss by telling reporters that his 'vitals are very concerning' (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8802745/Trump-Chief-Staff-Mark-Meadows-hot-water-revealing-truth-presidents-condition.html)
trump is dictating what the doctor can talk about ... so people have to look at what is not being said. It's clear there is a problem with his lungs, and he wont be discharged tomorrow under a doctors approval
I would infer that things were very serious a couple of days ago but that he is showing signs of recovering now. Being hit hard and early by Covid in the first week of having it is quite normal, it's a bit different to Boris who wasn't as ill at the start but just wasn't able to shake it and if the virus still has a strong hold of you after 10 days that's when you're really in trouble like he was

i think the problem is that they are obfuscating the stage that trump is at in the timeline. By any reasonable definition, the supposed point of his infection puts him early in the timeline where he may actually be 10 days in .... we don't know ... and no-one can deny that the doctors are not telling the whole story

...anyways he’s lying, as always he’s liar, liar, pants on fire...he’s learned nothing at all about COVID and it’s dangers and the care to be taken around others...

...while so much focus has been placed ‘wishing him death or being fine if he didn’t survive etc...’...effectively, it could absolutely be said that he’s wising death or fine with others dying in his carelessness and even helping it along...

Yep he's a liar.
i don't know what to make of it at all. While a doctor may obfuscate the truth at the patients request, they won't outright lie and the medication he has received is for people at a critical phase in the treatment. For example, the steroids are only prescribed if there is serious organ inflammation because it stops anti bodies producing that would halt the virus.
