Trump tests positive for Covid 19

What are the odds of Lou Gehrig dying of ALS?! Gotta be a billion to one.

Herman Cain died of Herman Cain Syndrome? He had cancer 15Y ago so obv he died of cancer with HCS comorbidity, correct? Anyone over the age of 70 has comorbidities if they have contracted the virus?

Yes, many people dying of COVID have existing, chronic underlying disease states. misterkel has microcephaly; Herman Cain had HCS. Would they have survived for some fixed/indeterminate time w/o contracting COVID?

YES.

Well Trump must be a tough old bird to survive Covid. Should get him a few more votes do you think?

He's morbidly obese with heart disease and was standing on the balcony gasping like he was about to stroke out. And yes, it's clear that he has had strokes.

He was on Dex on day three after multiple hits of Remdesivir. Real tough. Dude's SPO2 was in the low 80s. II am thrilled that the c*cksucker will have to live with the long term damage from COVID.
 
This is interesting - it's an excess deaths chart. You can choose a number of Western countries. Unfortunately, it does not allow a world choice, which would be nice.

Here's Germany.

About half the countries show a spring spike and about half don't. All of them show a spike, then a decline to normal by May (except the US. has a longer decline). Combined with the age and comorbidity stats, this paints a picture (based on epidemiological commentary) that the early phase was indeed dangerous to elderly / comorbids, but no worse than the flu to others. And very undangerous the younger people are - those are the stats. It also appears that the rise in cases / positive tests does not correlate generally with a rise in deaths, leading to an hypothesis that this is herd immunity in real time. Younger, not-at-risk people are being exposed and being minorly ill or asymptomatic.

I was in the hospital in 2016 and saw one consistent thing with stroke patients or mini-stroke patients...

They had severe balance problems when walking Up or Down stairs...often using that rail as a crutch. Sometimes they will often touch (tap multiple times) that rail to ensure that it was there and to ensure they can grab it if needed.

Trump was doing that a lot in the recent weeks prior to his hospitalization.

Also not all excess deaths are due to covid, many seem to stem from covid restrictions and covid panics. From March to May deaths by heart attacks doubled here in Spain. My new maid was taking care of an old lady with serious heart issues who had to go often to the hospital if I understood properly. Well she got scared of the covid, stopped going to hospital and died during the lockdown.
Emergency rooms were near empty in many countries during lockdown, and the alarn was rung by several doctors on people with heart issues not attending the hospitals.
Many cancers were untreated as well, a story is in the news about a person just dying of cancer in Spain and unable to get a face to face meeting with her doctor since this mess started. 550 000 surgeries cancelled between March and May, for a population of 50million, while many doctors appeared to be sitting idle and nurses posting videos on Tik Tok. No doubt there have been many fatalities due to lack of care.
Pictures were out of empty emergency rooms in Madrid hospitals while people couldn t get an appointment, I went to a couple of private clinics during that time and it was very quiet as well. Closest we ve seen to a genocide in a long time in Western Europe

Whoa! Somebody might attack you for having a different way of looking at things. Careful!
