    True if we take his and his fellow yes men (including doctor Conley) at face value on their diagnoses.

    I don't

    How about getting R0 under 1 so we get the new case count down?

    If the President wants to return to the People's House for the remainder of his care that is his choice. He should not be telling others not to fear the virus because the majority of Americans do not have access to the same level of care that he has been given. To add to the challenge, many are still unemployed. I'm trying to understand what is the purpose or objective for this message.

    Right now the economy is getting far worse off with Disney letting go 28,000, the airlines cutting 40,000, JcPenney laying off thousands as they close stores coming out of bankruptcy, Regal Cinemas closing all of their cinemas because of a lack of movies to show. Things are taking another turn for the worse.

    Respect the disease and live within the parameters prescribed by those who know more than I do. Fear does not come into play, stupidity does when precautions are ignored.

    It's sure that a President who claims for months that the virus will disappear like a miracle and who gets sick, along with a good part of his team, proves that irony and karma doesn't kill.

    The voters will judge very soon if his record was consistent.

    It's actually the ability to bypass federal regulations and limitations on experimental care that has allowed him to get to this point. There could still be unknown consequences but at least he has the choice. It's something Trump has been fighting to give to the American people. The right to concent to life saving procedures and bypass the red tape. This is something we should have bypartisan agreement on. At least anyone who believes in true liberty and the right to choose, and anyone who calls themselves a liberal, should agree.

    The very first access to compassionate use was issued in 1978 by NIDA. It has been expanded throughout the years by different Agencies as new products have been developed and submitted for approval. There has been a process and path for citizens to receive compassionate use for a while. With that said, it's always good when our leaders communicate these options to the public even though compassionate use has existed for awhile.

    It's also good to remember that there is a reason why we have clinical trials. It's purpose is to gain a snapshot of how the product will impact people in general and always with consideration to certain variables.

    I thought covid was deadly... Are you arguing that we should wait until they are for certain going to die? Wouldn't that be too late in many cases?

    I think if you have a high chance of dying, statistically, that should be sufficient. In this case, his age contributes to that.

    "Trump is likely to be sick for a while. COVID often seems to recede only to worsen, especially with symptoms as serious as Trump’s"

    Thoughts and Prayers

    I share Joe Biden’s wish for Donald Trump’s survival and recovery. He is worth a lot more to this Republic alive than dead.

    Trump is now the palpable evidence of his own recklessness. The post-diagnosis polls suggest a Biden landslide to the point where trying to steal the election will be futile.

    Despite brave talk, Trump is likely to be sick for a while. COVID often seems to recede only to worsen, especially with symptoms as serious as Trump’s. With four weeks to go until Election Day, we should wish him a slow, gentle convalescence.

    The alternatives are worse. Should Trump go on a ventilator, his Cabinet would invoke the 25th Amendment, certify that the president is incapacitated, and name Pence acting president—or even president.

    We can be sure that Attorney General Bill Barr, the Iago of this drama, has already been on the phone, trying out scenarios. His opportunism knows no bounds.

    It’s not deadly for most. Considering he still can’t breath, it was probably wise

    Unbelievable. If we re-elect this guy then we deserve it...

    Of course he wants to convey the idea that it's no big deal, all is well, in order to seek re-election, but sadly, it is a big deal for others who aren't as lucky to have access to Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail, or Gilead's Remdesivir, plus a team of physicians with some 20 top level experts.

    Funny enough, your picture is not of an N95 mask.

    Dirty Donald could barely wait to get inside the White House before removing his mask and making sure his super spreader status continues to grow and to build.

    This pretty much sums it up.

    Sad? Yes. I guess more Americans have to die.

    Trump is right ... Covid is easy.

    All you need is an in-house doctor, in-house oxygen station, a helicopter to fly you to the hospital where a 15 doctor team is waiting for you
    and all your bills are paid by the taxpayers ....

    Easy ...


    Trump is a dick.

    N95 respirator--more or less.


    The point is we can protect ourselves against transmission without looking like a bug.

    What about the idea of reducing R0<1 with respirators?
