Rachel Maddow had the same thought, as did a medical guest. It's just going from an initial positive to the hospital is faster than usual. I sort of expect a week or two delay from positive, to symptom, to the hospital, to a ventilator. Trump took one day to do several steps.I think it's normal for Trump to take precautionary steps like he did at this point. It makes sense to me.
I suspect his is a fairly serious case.
I recently put up the end of the Gettysburg Address as my signature. I am almost considering extending it a bit, opening with "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain". You know, this time around the honored dead that gave their last full measure of devotion, many unwittingly, so that one man would continue in power.
It almost seems wrong to hope that they died in vain.
What part of "This virus will kill you if you don't get appropriate medical care" do you think President Trump understand?
COVID-19 is not a quick kill. I suspect that it is more advanced than we were led to believe. Secrecy and deceit are hallmarks of this President.
