Lets not forget he is human, notably with some defects.
We dont want him to too sick, just learn ![]() Just because he has been a dick, ignorant, socially disruptive, socially divisive, discriminative, womanising, and embarrassing from start through to international gatherings including daft american followers, and the like, he is still a man and we don't want anyone sick with anything |

Interesting to see Trump getting the finest medical care, including a helicopter flight to hospital.
Millions of Americans couldn't begin to afford any of that care, and all for something that he's so often been dismissive of. I see Kelly-Anne Conways family are pretty ****ed with Trump admin. George and Kelly-Anne must have some Interesting dinner table discussions about Trump. |

This is not left vs right. It's just Trump. If it was Pence I don't think you'd get the same reaction. Interesting how Fox is covering this. Claiming that the timing is "interesting" whilst stressing that they are not suggesting any conspiracy. And it seems the White House has been caught out telling alternate truths. Also whats fascinating is how Baron is negative.

The claim that this is Left vs Right is convenient way of dismissing anything that doesn't fit your own belief system.
Oh that's just the Left, typical Liberals, fake news, it's the MSM, et al As we're all aware there is good bad on both sides. In this US election both sides have poor candidates and the World is watching the whole circus. Let's hope the US now takes Covid a little more seriously |

Russ,
do you have any stats on how "deadly" this virus is 10 months in? Obviously more deadly at the beginning, but wondering what improvements exist in the mortality rate now vs then

Data valid as at 23:59GMT October 3rd, 2020.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting except for the Victorian 14 day moving averages. 8 new cases for Australia and 3 deaths so the CMR rises to 3.293% while active cases drop to 1,378. NSW & WA recorded 1 case each with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 12.86 with metro at 11.9 (13 unknown) and regional at 0.2 and no unknown cases. Victoria reported 12 new cases for the last 24 hours. The weekly total for Victoria of 74 is 30% down on the previous week and there were 3 fewer deaths with 23. 1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.352% and active cases drop to 41. The UK had a slightly higher 7,070 new cases yesterday but also identified almost 5k cases that were missed ion the last week of October. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR. Just over 54k new cases in the USA yesterday and 862 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.827% and active cases drop to 33.9% with the raw numbers rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases pass 35M with the last 1M taking only 3 days again; The USA completes 110M, India 77M, Russia 47M and Turkey 10M tests; Europe recorded a new daily case high of 66,507 (2/10); Angola (159); Tunisia (1,223); UAE (1,231); Lebanon (1,321); Poland (2,367); Belgium (3,175); Netherlands (3,967); Ukraine (4,661) recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.

In April it was 6.67%, in May that had dropped to 6.15%, 4.15% in July; by August it was down to 3.33%; 3.09% at the end of September and it is currently just a fraction under 3%. I've no idea where it should really be and the various modelling is all guesswork based on no one actually knowing what the unidentified case volumes are. What I can say is that it will probably be less than the 3% despite some countries clearly under-reporting deaths and while I thought Australia had a pretty good handle on it with the amount of testing we've done (43% equivalence), I think our current 3.293% is too high. Russia is 1.76% but I suspect they are under-reporting although they have tested the equivalent of 40% population and might be close to accurate if they are reporting correctly. The USA has tested the equivalent of half their population and is sitting at 2.82% while Andorra has tested the equivalent of almost twice the population and is at 2.877%.

Is this just another 'October Surprise'?
A game changing event usually occurring in the month of October before election, which can boost, or damage one candidate's chances and critically change the course of an election. US has a history of October surprises in an election year. Leaving out the obvious October surprises from this year, here's a small list from 2016 and previous years. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-19887898 |

D Trump has been the best President that the USA has ever hade in fact if anyone bothers to look past the childish deranged media spin. Obama was even more of a moron than baby Bush was, both of them ran the USA into the ground. Last edited by nuthin' fancy; 05-10-2020 at 07:23 PM. |

NSW recorded 2 cases and SA recorded 1 with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 12.71 with metro at 11.6 (13 unknown) and regional up to 0.3 and no unknown cases. Victoria reported 9 new cases for the last 24 hours. 5 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.348% and active cases remain at 41. The UK had a slightly higher 7,982 new cases yesterday but the redistribution of missed cases in September put several days over 10k new cases including a record of 11,754 on October 2nd. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR. Just over 50k new cases in the USA yesterday and 757 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.819% and active cases drop to 33.8% with the raw numbers rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases set a new daily high of 321,762 on 2nd October; Russia is over 10k daily cases with the highest number since early May; The USA completes 111M, India 78M and the UAE 10M tests; Asia passes 11M cases and 200k deaths; Europe recorded an amended daily case high of 71,293 (2/10); Tunisia (1,286); Belgium (3,389) and the Netherlands (4,003)recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.

If you quoted my whole post, not just the first part, you'd see I was commenting on the health care system for others in the U.S. in these times under Trump.

Trump at best has maintained the trends started by Obama https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-45827430 and let his spin convince suckers he is awesome. How many rape allegations does Obama or any other US presidents have against them? Bet the 44 presidents before him combined didn't have 26 women claiming sexual assault, he is a vile human being who associates with pedos, racists (who he won't denounce) and if his Covid infection is true hopefully he dies sooner rather than later. |

Interesting, I just read that SS follow the specific president they are assigned to, and stay with them even after their term ends. Maybe I should try to find the link. |

The latest briefing from the Presidents medical team mentions the drugs he has been given; dexamethasone and remdesivir. No mention of hydroxochloroquine. The drugs given to the president have not been formally approved for treatment of the virus.
