I mean only 1% of people even get it and one of the most protected people in the world gets it? Seems odd.

False positives are common. It's easily an attempt to keep Trump from campaigning.

I haven't paid much attention recently, but I think around the world there's at least a few vaccines/treatments for covid theyre studying for safety and approvals, right?

Are any of them useful to people after they get covid, even if not yet approved?

Aside from HCQ, of course.

I had covid, and I tell you it was nothing. Mild cold is best way to describe it.

Trump is taking in addition to a monoclonal AB cocktail, Vitamin D, Zinc, Famotidine and Melatonin. I suspect the last 2 are used as inflammation reducers. Or they couldbe part of a regular regimen. He'll be fine.

But the media prints like he’s morbidly obese. Come on, give me a break.

Yeah, I'm 6'3" (Don't actually think Trump is) but being similar size I don't get the obese thing. Best shape of my life I was 230 and could demolish anyone. 250ish is for sure overweight and might need BP meds, but it's a not a big deal if you have it under control. He'd need to have another disease or health issue x2 for it to matter with Covid.

Either way if the guy dies I'll still take Pence over Biden, Harris or Pelosi if these people start dropping dead.

Trump already transferred to hospital... as a precaution.

Now they are just brazen enough to send someone

The timing is uncanny.

He is barely obese, just squeaks in on the BMI according to this source. He is overweight, that is true, but certainly not morbidly obese at all.

It's pretty obvious at this point that you have to have severe and multiple comorbitities that are already debilitating to you, to die from this virus. Trump says he doesn't drink and we know he doesn't smoke. He's overweight. But he's 74. There's little to no evidence this even kills somewhat unhealthy people. You have to be in pretty poor health from the get go. So let's open the fuck back up and if you don't take care of yourself, stay the fuck home.

I think this demonstrates decisively that McDonald's hamburgers and fries kill Covid dead in its tracks.

Yep.

I don't know if Trump's anti inflammatory steroids pass the blood brain barrier, but in somebody who didn't use drugs, alcohol or cigaretters, steroids can generate a manic high. I gather they started them on Saturday and Trump got quit animated then went out on his tour to wave at the fans.

Extremely difficult not to be overweight/obese after 65, because of the compounding loss of muscle mass and increased sedentary pressure (less stamina to exercise with).

Yes, there are exceptions but you'll find them mostly in smaller people and professional athletes.
