But on the internet I learned that he doesn’t really have Covid and that he is in a coma and that he tried to give Joe Biden the ‘rona and that he’s already dead and been abducted by aliens and…
And conservatives are saying that he’s in a cave behind a rock for 3 days…

The real news.
Love this! Thank you.
Damn you. I blew coffee all over my monitor.
That’s the paper of record these days.
Washington, DC, seems to be seeing a small uptick in known infections from what I’m reading here and there on the news. Coincidentally Washington, New York, and Boston are entering the weather conditions in which the virus seems to thrive and then get passed around: 32 to 50 degrees, less UV light because of cloudy days, low humidity. These are similar conditions for making the flu active as well.
So many people have acquired immunity now that it should not be as bad this time as it was last winter.
In all seriousness, I wonder if Trump is taking oxyhydrocholoro . . . I can’t spell it. That stuff used to treat malaria, the stuff he touted that now the MSM is saying “doesn’t work and all experts say so.”
I really hope Trump sees it.
I could swear that I’ve been hearing the media and the left tell me that if you get the COVID you will die. They wouldn’t lie to me would they?
Hoping he has a speedy recovery. And the same for everyone else who is ill with this virus right now.
Just twenty minutes ago, I heard that “his vital signs are concerning” and that there is uncertainty about the course of his treatment over the next 48 hours. This was supposed to be serious reporting. I wouldn’t want to accuse the reporter of wishful thinking.
EDIT: Here is the source for the KCBS report I heard.

Anonymous source with no facts and non-specific opinion. What is the news value of that? I know the propaganda value, but what is the news value?
I need more theories. Is the Saturday ACB event the source of all the infections? Why are so many people from the debate staff testing positive? Was there a biological attack on the president’s podium? What does Qanon say?
According to his medical team, all his vitals are fine, is saturation is 96%, and he has had no need for oxygen supplementation since he was brought in.
They believe they have phase 1 of the virus under control and he feels fine. What remains to be seen is how he handles phase 2, which would be 7-10 days from now.
*this is lay man’s summary of the medical team’s presser from this morning*
The local all-news station is bringing on “experts” who are accusing the medical team of omitting facts, refusing to answer questions, and I expect that to continue until the President is back in the White House.
We need many more anonymous sources, on all issues.
