Wuhan Corona virus

I think it was Ike who had a heart attack, but his people said it was "stomach pains."

They hid Ike in the Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver CO after he had a heart attack while playing golf at Cherry Hills (he smoked too much).  This was Sept 1955, while I was waiting to be born ;-)  When my Ex was just pregnant with our daughter while on vacation in San Diego, the last San Fran earthquake happened while we were in the air going back to Denver.  Churchill had a stroke while in cabinet meeting in 1953, and was taken off and hidden at his home of Chartwell.  There was a fun British drama about this.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has ripped through almost every country on the planet, causing devastating decay to the mental health of millions of people..." ... their mental health was precarious before Covid.

"CNN compares Trump’s COVID to ‘Stalin dying’" .. I guess felt tip penning a little mustache onto Trump portraits got boring.  Stalin had a much better mustache.

"It’s been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about COVID. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn't the 'let's read the books' school," Trump said in a video posted to Twitter. "And I get it, and I understand it, and it's a very interesting thing, and I’m going to be letting you know about it."

"Before, I was an expert, not just a read it books expert, but still an expert.  I'm a very interesting person, and I'm going to be letting you know that real experts like me know more than most experts.  My doctors never had this China virus.  They don't know as much as I know about it.  Everyone knows that I'm a wonderful expert and I never had to read about anything to know that.  Everyone knows that I'm very wonderful, just a wonderful expert.  All kinds of people can tell you I'm very wonderful.  I talk to people all the time who know that."

He's going to be vague, hedge his bets, and blame anyone else other than himself.

Same as it ever was...

I can't imagine a kinder gentler Trump, after a near death experience.  It's too weird to imagine.

You needn't worry about that.

Progressives ...  everyone touched by magic wand and turned into Gandhi (curry universe).

Jesus Christ. I thought you were just parodying Trump. I didn't realize he actually said this shit.

Before reading your post, I thought he was parodying him too! Oof.

Yeah, apparently getting sick qualifies you as an epidemiologist.

I swear, the solution to those brain-eating amoebæ in Texas is to send Trump in -- they'll starve.

I do wonder if these last few post-hospital gloating tweets just cost him the election.....He looked like shit without his mask, panting and even had me wondering if my TV set's color controls were misadjusted. Very insensitive to the sufferings of many.
