I’m sure he’ll think he’s wrapped around on the age counter, what with how much something is going to be jammed up his nose in the weeks to come.

Honestly, I can't believe it took him this long to finally catch it. And naturally, when he eventually recovers, he'll use it as a means to further his shitty "it's all a hoax" stance.
Considering he lies constantly, I automatically snap to the assumption that this is bullshit and he's just using it to dodge the next debate, as well as claim he's the strongest for getting through the virus no problem.
Like if Trump says the sky is blue I'd have to go and double check before I agreed.
Have we actually seen any footage of Trump being sick? I'm still betting on this being a fake to get out of debates and then probably sell some drug he claims cures covid to give him a boost in the polls

This White House can't take a piss without somebody leaking to the press that they didn't wash their hands. The Gang That Couldn't Ratfuck straight ain't keeping a secret this big for any amount of time.

Given that word from the whitehouse is a sense of dread and that the campaign "ended this morning," I really don't think the "this is fake" angle seems real to me.

Beyond descriptions of looking slightly under the weather, which could just look like "tired," I doubt we'll see anything - he probably went straight to the residence after getting to the White House and will probably be out of sight there for the next couple of weeks.
The fact that half the bignames around him have all come down sick in the last 48 hours suggests it's the real thing though.
I don't know the cocktail. The melatonin is probably why he isn't tweeting dude is wiped out. About out of the whole thing the only thing I know that works is vitamin D because it seems to have some sort of relationship.
Melania sounds like normal symptoms. The headache is probably benign but also its Covid so it can be a headache, fever, or blood clots. Though probably just a headache.

I always confuse melatonin with melanin, and I had a weird image go through my brain.
Trump as C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man. And how his white supremacist buddies would react.

Trump is now being transferred to Walter Reed Medical Center.
Feels like this is progressing faster than I would have expected.
It seems pretty clear that Trump has known he's been infected for longer than this. Looking at his complex dodge of pre-testing for the debate, and the people around him being infected, it seems likely Trump is a super spreaders eventually bu himself.
There is a certain level of schadenfreude as the corona virus spreads through the upper echelons of the republican party...

Positivity rates go up when there are test shortages, so doctors start reserving tests for those who they think are likely to have the virus.
Yep, and Puerto Rico in particular has been screwed and hamstrung since March on the number of test kits they received and were able to use. They were the last to get them, and got the fewest. I don't know what the situation there now is, but they've been seeing a surge for awhile now due to reopening things, so likely their test shortage has just gotten massively worse. 100% still seems like it must be an error though.

Also, I've seen some estimates that 60 million people in India may have already been infected, ten times the number of official cases. Which is a lot, but in a country of 1.3 billion that's less than 5%.
Cineworld, owner of the largest chain of theaters in the UK and Ireland and the second-largest in the United States — Regal Cinemas — will reportedly close all its theaters next week, according to Variety, The Sunday Times, and others.
Variety reports that all 543 theaters in the US will be closed, which account for the chain’s 7,000+ screens in the region. The Sunday Times reports that it will close all 128 theaters in the UK and Ireland, too.
Both say James Bond is the reason.
Yesterday, the 25th James Bond film — No Time to Die — was pushed back to April 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic, denying theaters one of the last major tentpole releases due out this year. Apparently, theaters were counting on Bond, specifically, to arrive on time and help bail them out of poor ticket sales.

Shit. I thought this was just another temporary cessation, but it definitely reads like "Welp, we're closing up shop permanently."
The follow on effects are going to be significant. Studios relied on mass cinema screenings to recover the 9 figure debts these movies rack up, and they don't seem confident they can recover them through PPV/streaming.
Which means movie funding, especially for blockbuster types, will be at risk unless someone buys out Cineworld.
Aren't there laws that studios can't own cinemas? Cause that'd be the simplest fix, but that has its own issues.

“It’s as if the campaign ended yesterday,” says a former West Wing official.
Basically, they're saying that Trump can't campaign for the next couple weeks at a minimum, which is a very bad thing for the campaign.
Feels like this is progressing faster than I would have expected.

He's a narcissist and almost definitely panicked when he started getting sick.

Ignoring that Puerto Rico is not a state...what the fuck is going on there?
(Also, like, we know what the fuck is going on in all those states.)
Yep, and Puerto Rico in particular has been screwed and hamstrung since March on the number of test kits they received and were able to use. They were the last to get them, and got the fewest. I don't know what the situation there now is, but they've been seeing a surge for awhile now due to reopening things, so likely their test shortage has just gotten massively worse. 100% still seems like it must be an error though.
100% looks like an error:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/map/puerto-rico
gives 14% instead. (Also, Puerto Rico reopened the beaches a couple weeks back.)
Anyway, in international news, Turkey has basically admitted to only reporting symptomatic cases and not all positive cases this entire time.
Also, I've seen some estimates that 60 million people in India may have already been infected, ten times the number of official cases. Which is a lot, but in a country of 1.3 billion that's less than 5%.
