Lots of people thinking its fake it seems. But now that he is at Walter Reed for at least a couple of days its doubtful he is faking it (and he wore a mask on the way). They say he has a fever, cough and congestion and is fatigued currently. My guess is that he is either freaked out (because he has long been a germaphobe) or it is somewhat worse than they want to say. In any case, we won't know how bad it will get if it does until 5-8 days from now when he might enter the hospital if he really needs to for shortness of breath or other complications. Then another 5-7 days to enter ICU if it goes that way. Boris Johnson followed that trajectory... of course Johnson was substantially younger and healthier. Hard to believe this whole Covid episode will help his reelection chances. My understanding is that high level Republicans have largely written him off after his debate fiasco and are focusing on trying to preserve the Republican majority in the Senate. Personally, I wish him good health in retirement after he leaves office in January 2021.
