The Coronavirus thread

My god, it's starting to happen already..........

World's first Covid passport technology will be trialled on flights from Heathrow this week

And if the libbies have their way, they will soon be demanding "Your papers, please" here in the US.

Like AZ said earlier, the 2020s could shape up to be a very, very ugly decade because we've seen this once before.

Quote: Tanko

President Biden won’t last two weeks when his turn comes.

WTF
Biden showed up for the debate when most conservatives said he was too senile
He proved the Trumpers wrong
He's fine
yet
You still push this "wont last 2 weeks" BS with nothing. nada.
WHY??????????????????

WHY??????????????????

Because they’ve got nothing else left to say? Just gotta make stuff up.

It's weird
For months Trumpers said Biden was too old and senile and cant debate
Well, that was a total lie
It's as if they were convinced Biden was senile and it was factual
The debate blew that up
And now
The tables have totally turned and its Trump who is sick, so sick, he had to go to the hospital
It's as if Trumpers cant deal with the new reality and have to still go we with the "Biden would not last 2 weeks" fantasy

Responding to two posts. First... the 8 second example of Trump being short of breath is rather meaningless without context. Any obese 74 year old would be short of breath to some degree after walking up a flight of stairs. He didn't look too bad. Does he have some very mild temporary pulmonary dysfunction from being ill with COVID-19? Perhaps.

As far as the oxygen saturation level, if it was really low 80's with him awake that would be an extreme concern. If it was a temporary blip with him asleep and not on supplemental oxygen it would be far less concerning. It is amazing how many Americans drop into the 80's at night just due to sleep apnea. I'll bet there are quite a few members here who can attest. If they have taken a 'sleep study', it is not unheard of to drop into the 70's, and wake up unhappily trying to breathe hard to 'catch up'.

My 'doctor' bottom line on Trump.... He flaunted accepted safety protocols and caught COVID-19. As soon as he was a tad sick he was given special treatment, meds that none of you would have gotten so soon. Either due to the meds, or just the natural course of the disease, he got better pretty quickly. As Bob has pointed out ad nauseum, he had around a 24/25 chance of just getting better by doing nothing.

My wife, who was going to vote for me, now told me she is voting for Biden. She says the way Trump has acted during his illness has turned her..... I still can't vote for Harris/Biden.....

Did he walk up stairs?

Yup. you don't pay attention. The
commentator said something
like, the President got off the
helicopter and climbed the stairs
to the veranda and now stands facing
the helicopter.

And it wasn't 3 steps, it was
flight of stairs.

Uh, your word is proof of nothing without an actual recording.

He did walk up the stairs, which is likely why he was having trouble breathing.

Funny how much the bar has been lowered. “Donny can walk up a flight of stairs!” is some sort of major feat to the righties.

Good enough. Not that I don't trust EB'S sources without being able check them, but yeah, I DON'T.
