President Trump diagnosed with Covid-19 (Merged)

Coming up on "Tucker" ... Don Jr is going to talk about the President's condition.

 

[BDinPutnam]

So after all the "Biden will conveniently get Covid to avoid the debates" speculation Trump gets Covid 2 days after the first, and two weeks before the second.

Hmm

Yeah I wonder how the Biden team got the virus on DJT’s podium?

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

You are right. I get pneumonia every time I get the flu. Sorry.

Are there reports that DJT got pneumonia?

"Some" will die. That is a very scientific explanation and clarifies a lot of things so thank you so much.
So far we lost a close friend and another one not so close and also "Some" in the family who recovered are not doing too well.
"Some" sounds great as soon as you or close ones are not part of the "some".

Wasn't trying to be "scientific." Just stating the reality. We have talked about this over and over again. People die everyday. I am in no way qualifying this as not being sad and unfortunate for those who are personally effected. I have lost many family members to things over the years. I also understand life goes on eventhough it didn't for me for a while during. I didn't set the rules so don't kill the messenger. Again, vulnerability and function is the key. Most people have nothing to worry about. Some do. I also don't care how "healthy" someone thinks someone else was. Goes back to what most people consider "health." If you think that the response has been proper as far as the overall reaction looking all around at society and that this isn't mostly because of politics, Trump and power, well, I don't agree.

Guess we shall see how the 74 year old man does. 95% recovery for his age.

It all depends on the viral load your body is fighting off. If it was casual contact, the viral load would be low. If it was constant contact with the infected, the viral load would be high. That’s why healthy people who got infected on planes and trains in the beginning died. At a certain point, your body cannot keep up with the viral replication no matter how healthy you are.

But you wouldn’t know any of that nor would I expect you to either.

cytokine storm perhaps..
Clinically speaking, a cytokine storm means a cell pathway has been turned on, leading to the production of a number of biological mediators (which are kind of like signal transmitters) that cause changes to the body and interfere with normal cell function. Commonly, this means an excessive number of cytokines are released, which create high levels of inflammation in the area of the body being flooded—so much inflammation, even, that it can be fatal.


"Imagine that you put your foot on the accelerator and it gets glued to it," Dr. Fichtenbaum says. "You can't get your foot off the gas to slow down your car." Essentially, these storms can be more deadly than the original virus the body is fighting

There are also many things that people do in life and that are done to them that cause the body to not have a balanced immune response. There is more auto immune disorder/disease today than ever before. The body goes into hyper mode so to speak as a response. It doesn't learn the proper response or how to modulate things. Not related to humans but when my cat had an auto immune disease (eosinophilic granuloma) that I helped him get past last year I got into a discussion with the vet we use. She was stunned that he got well and even admitted it was nothing she had done for him and it was what I had done with him that helped his body heal. She has been in practice for over 25 years and said she sees mostly and more autoimmune disease each year that passes. In her opinion it was due to the amount of vaccines animals typically get, the amount of drugs used for treating disease and the pet food industry. As generations are born from defective functioning animals they actually get more and more issues. Again, most of her practice is autoimmune disease which she said had never been that way in the beginning.

CDC shows COVID-19 has high survival rate; doctor still wants to see precautions taken

A CDC update Wednesday says individuals are more likely to survive the coronavirus after contracting it. The health agency says if you have the virus between the ages of 0

www.winknews.com

You got NOTHING, absolutely nothing of value there.

IMO, when people lie to themselves long enough they start to believe it is true.

Since you guys like the CDC so much lets grab the actual numbers vs. the flu so you can see them in perspective and
how this has been a death sentence for so many people w/o a vaccine being available.
I provide the CDC estimates and actuals from both diseases with links. Since the flu is a non re-portable illnesses we
have to include the CDCs estimate range and we average that.

Even if the rate stays the same to date the Covid is 7.3 times more lethal than the flu (including the worse years), that as we know also kills a lot of people but not as many as it can be managed via prevention programs in most recent history.




If you track the 7 day moving averages wold wide you will find out that this is not going to end up any time soon w/o a vaccine to
counterattack focused area with early detection, early intervention and contention that are the 3 main directives when dealing with a pandemic.
Of course herd immunity can be achieved naturally but it doesn't look that great w/o a vaccine.

One underlying takeaway for those that care should be how unhealthy the world is. Too bad government doesn't make health a priority instead of treating disease. Natural immunity vs. artificial immunity. If they did this the people wouldn't need to put so much hope into a vaccine that won't work and lead to G-d knows what else eventually.

After 9 months You got 367,000 deaths on a planet of 7 Billion. Not buying it. Third world countries should be ravaged at this point , and yet they have the lowest death rates. This whole thing was bunk.

What would be a good number of deaths for you?

Anyway you got the wrong number and we are also not talking about short term and long term problems related
with those who didn't die.

He’s to dense to realize that the numbers would be much higher if absolutely nothing was done at all. That’s the yokel mind. It’s a simple organism not capable of simple logic. Under his logic, Trump should be on the campaign trail shaking more hands and hugging children. All others that are sick should continue to spread it as well.

Kellyanne Conway confirms she has COVID-19 after daughter posts on TikTok

Kellyanne Conway announced Friday night that she had tested positive for COVID-19.

Conway, a counselor to President Trump, said on Twitter that she tested positive Friday night. She said she had a light cough and described her symptoms as mild. “I’m feeling fine. I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians,” Conway said. “As always, my heart is with everyone affected by this global pandemic.”

She was seen mask-less at an event on Saturday for the announcement of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

So far, five others have tested positive who attended that event: Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and the Rev. John I. Jenkins, president of the University of Notre Dame.

Her daughter, Claudia Conway, posted a video on TikTok before the White House official announced she tested positive. The teen captioned the video with: “update my mom has covid.”

Claudia Conway also noted that she's "furious" at the president: "[W]ear your masks .... protect yourselves and those around you."

 

[Chevusa]

Trump campaign manager tests positive as well. Seems like quite the outbreak happening in the WH circle.

For as much as I thought this is a largely political virus, it seems to have just changed parties. Two can play at this game.

I got the wrong number? I quoted it from your source. I have no Idea what the 2nd graph is supposed to be saying. Deaths from what?

A good number for a global pandemic would be at least 2-5 % . Spanish flu was a third of the worlds population., which would put us at approximately 2.3 billion., if it puts it in perspective for you.

The Spanish flu:

It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world's population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.



1. Tuberculosis
About 10 million people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) in 2018, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). About 1.5 million died. And even though it’s curable and preventable, it’s still the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent. And it’s in the top 10 causes of death worldwide.
TB is caused by bacteria spread from person to person in the air through coughs or sneezes. It can be treated with antibiotics, but when these drugs aren’t used properly or are mismanaged, multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant TB can occur. Treatment for these strains is long and expensive, and the WHO says multidrug-resistant TB is a public health crisis – in 2016, nearly 500,000 people worldwide developed it.

Tuberculosis kills more people than any other infectious disease, according to information shared by the United Nations (UN) on Tuesday.

Around 1.5 million people died from the bacterial infection in 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported, bringing attention to World Tuberculosis Day on March 24.

Approximately 10 million people are infected with tuberculosis every year, the WHO said on its website. Only a small portion of global cases receive the necessary life-saving medicine.

Over 4,000 people die of tuberculosis every day.

We have been living with a worse disease for years, Should we have shut down the economy since the 1800's??? Should we have given masks to the Indians and cowboys? Seriously, this thing needs to be looked at in perspective.

 

[Criticalt]

Nah! Covid is a hoax!!

Not directed at you but.....
Im pretty tired of the MSM and other dems saying stuff like, " is Covid a hoax now Trump?"
I have yet to find anywhere he says COVID is a hoax. I find alot of places where he says the reaction from the left is a hoax. I see where he says the lefties are blowing up numbers and seriousness of the disease....which is provably true.
But I cannot find where he says the disease is a hoax.
In fact, he was the first one to take it seriously. He shut down travel to China while Cuomo said, " Trump is fear mongering, this is like the flu, dont be scared." And Pelosi said, "Come on down to China town while she was out without a mask." And Deblasio said, "go out to a broadway show, dont believe Trump."

Yet, just like the pussy grabbing and "all Mexicans are rapists and murders", the lefties say Trump said the disease itself was a hoax.
These people are truly the enemy of our country. And should be treated as so.

The white house will lie, as any and all white houses and any and all presidential or prime ministers' offices across the world would lie.

We will never know how sick Trump got with two exceptions:

1) He's so well he continues to be out every single day campaigning

or

2) He dies from covid

Anything in between will be coverable and thus covered. It will be speculated upon to no end of course.

I think would hear if there were something very serious but short of death. If he was on a ventilator or something it would get out.

It's also likely that the duration is short enough that it doesn't matter. If like many people with a medium case he is bed ridden for a few days and then recovers, is it even really a "cover up" if they don’t advertise it ?
