[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2489447]His helicopter ride to the hospital yesterday was great photo op displaying the harmlessness of COVID-19.

Idiota.[/QUOTE]I agree completely, nothing more than a flu.

Idiota.

[QUOTE=Zeos1;2489800]Now you're making me laugh. Survived? 3 days? It's a bit early to talk about survival or symptoms or whatever. But I don't doubt they're getting his body double ready to fill in if he goes into a coma or is on a ventilator.[/QUOTE]LOL, you got your tinfoil hat on?

Trump survived this weak virus without any problems.

Idiota.[/QUOTE]Shoo Bree, a Swede whose country sacrificed the lives 5000+ of it's citizens, 11 times the per capita death rate of it's neighbor Norway chasing herd immunity is always eager to play damage control, on whatever ISG thread will have him. But that's a lot of carnage in Sweden for an ill advised and failed strategy. For a long time their Nordic neighbors barred the Swedes from entry, and of course for good reason. Responsibility for the same is with guys like Trump, and his sidekick quack radiologist Scott Atlas who have minimized the Covid situation and discouraged the public health measures that work, as the death toll in the US tops 209,000 and counting. Trump had a high fever and needed oxygen. Plus he isn't out of the woods yet, for even if he gets over the initial hump there's some evidence of long term effects from Covid.

I'll admit that Trump can get a last laugh of sorts if he's re-elected, but that's far from a sure thing. There's no laughing now while 209,000+ Americans are dead with more on the way. Same can be said for the 5000+ Swedish lives needlessly lost. Enjoy the attachment.

[QUOTE=ShooBree;2489888]You're kidding me right? He survived this without any problems at all. He didn't even need to go to the hospital, he only did because the doctors twisted his arm and did their best to scare him.

This only proves how tame the virus is when the President, a man in his mid seventies with some extra pounds, survives it without any serious symptoms.

If he wasn't the President he wouldn't even have gone to the hospital. He could walk by himself and talk by himself without any problems, just look at the pictures and videos.

You should watch Fox News instead of FNN / CNN.[/QUOTE]FNN stopped broadcasting 29 years ago. But we can see from your comments that you live in the past.

Here's what's really happening:

Donald Trump repeatedly asked "am I going to die?" as he fell sick with coronavirus, it was claimed.

Reports in America say the US President, 74, feared the same fate as a friend who died from the disease.

It is claimed he said: "Am I going out like Stan Chera? Am I?

That is the real scoop.

Chera, a long-time supporter, died aged 77 in April in New York.

Leaving Trump to cry like a small child as he awaited his helicopter ride to the hospital.

They died because they were weak and they would have died anyways sooner rather than later. That's notable in the statistics, there are now less deaths than normal. Anyways, this is the place to discuss American Politics, so you better keep to the subject.

The lockdowns failed big time and that's obvious to everyone except for the Trump haters. It's disgusting how they politicized C19. The result from the lockdowns? More lockdowns. The worst affected countries all had lockdowns, talk about failures. One could have thought that if lockdowns worked so well the country without it would have the worst statistics. That's not the case.

Anyways, if you don't want C19 don't leave your house, let the rest of us live our lives.

We should ALL be as lucky as Trump to get that REGAL medical care which the majority of us won't have access to. Or do we all get to be air lifted to Walter Reed Hospital?

Yes, with Covid-19 there's often more at stake than life and death. Loss of the quality of life is a significant issue indeed. Sadly those who are only glued to the Fox Entertainment Network are missing a lot of pertinent information.

"Chicago (WLS) -- A COVID-19 study conducted by Northwestern Medicine shows 82 percent of patients hospitalized with coronavirus experience neurological symptoms during the course of the disease.

The study looked at 509 COVID-19 patients at Northwestern Medicine hospitals in the Chicago area.

The most frequent neurological symptoms were muscle pain, headaches, and encephalopathy or altered brain functions, which range from mild confusion to being in a coma.

'This is the first study of its kind in the United States,' says Igor Koralnik, MD, chief of neuro-infectious diseases and global neurology in the Ken & Ruth Davee Department of Neurology at Northwestern Medicine, who also oversees the Neuro COVID-19 Clinic at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. 'There are only two other published papers describing the prevalence of neurological manifestations in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in China and Europe. Our research group spent the summer performing chart reviews on the first 509 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 within the Northwestern Medicine health system, and our findings show neurological manifestations are very common in these patients. '.

The study also shows more than two thirds of the patients who experienced altered brain function were unable to take care of themselves in the days after being discharged from the hospital.

'We are now looking to characterize the long-term neurologic effects of COVID-19 and the cognitive outcomes in patients with COVID-19-associated encephalopathy," says Dr. Koralnik. "We're studying this in patients who are discharged from the hospital, as well as in COVID-19 'long-haulers,' who have never been hospitalized but also suffer from a similar range of neurological problems, including brain fog.'"

Or anyone other than Trump? What we're witnessing is systemic failure. Corporations have long ago usurped the power of life and death. Doesn't make a difference who's the Figurehead-in-Chief.

Because they have solid public health policies and plans for dealing with pandemics. Completely lacking in the west. Yes, lockdowns worked very well here. And so did starting containment measures when the first case was identified.

In addition Asians tend to be more considerate of one another most of the time. And have no problem putting on masks and showing a little consideration for others.

The truth is simple, Trump didn't even need to go the hospital but did it anyways since no doctor wants to be blamed for the death of the President. Just a question of overly cautious doctors. The proof is in the pics&vids.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2489011]I think it is ironic that on Tuesday the Trumpster probably caught COVID while riding on an airplane with maskless passengers.

And then two days later, on Thursday, 45,000 airline industry employees get furloughed on a single day when pandemic aid to that industry is not granted for October & beyond.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=ShooBree;2489189]Sounds like you're promoting fake news, that's the only irony that I see.[/QUOTE]What was fake about what I wrote?

Should I have used the word "laidoff" instead of "furloughed"?

I thought either word sounded better than saying many of the major airlines told their regular workers to "go fuck off and fend for themselves" since the handouts ended in September.
