All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

Which of course isn't to say it can't get worse, because it could, but we are in fact, already screwed.

What's worse than being screwed?

I think we're living in that timeline.

Looks like it was the Saturday Rose Garden event and not Hope Hicks that was the virus spreader. It aligns with who has tested positive and the incubation timeframe.

You could always get screwed more.

I’ll assume Trump will probably recover if the symptoms are truly mild. Not like we haven’t seen people his age recover from worse.

Some people start with mild system and it goes down rapidly. That is how people spread the disease: They think it's just a case of the sniffles, they go out to choir practice, they infect 50 people.

Looks like Rita Repulsa is no better than the family she’s getting yacked out with:

BREAKING: Trump campaign: “All previously announced campaign events involving the President’s participation are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed."

That sounds ominous. Also ominous, Trump hasn't tweeted once in 14 hours.

Maybe he can't find a way around the taste of crow in his mouth?

They say you lose your sense of taste when you get COVID.

Symptoms may vary, depending on the sociopath

Galactus could show up looking for a herald.

Or Rita show sup and Zordon is looking for Rangers.

I got dibs on BOTH.

So the Presidential debates are pretty much over now because of him contracting COVID?

Some people start with mild system and it goes down rapidly. That is how people spread the disease: They think it's just a case of the sniffles, they go out to choir practice, they infect 50 people.

Fair point. Trump might just be approaching the first drop of the proverbial rollercoaster of the infection. Or he could be a asymptomatic. Time will tell. Some say he’s faking as a tactic to weasel out of debates, but I doubt it since a lot of others in his circle caught it in the same timeframe, and they currently have significantly less (on average) to worry about on the political stage than Trump does.
