Not to be surprised, the country is not getting the full picture on his health. Regardless of any medical okay, I wouldn't want to be near him, not that I would want to be near him anyway. He was on with Rush Limbaugh today for 2 hours. At the end Rush said, "I know you have a jam packed schedule". Really? Who could get away with a 2 hour phone call at work? So obviously still sick.

StrangeSox Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Quote Nearly 1 in 5 Chicago residents who sent blood-spot samples to Northwestern University researchers tested positive for antibodies to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, according to preliminary results of an ongoing study. That 20% infection rate is higher than the scientists anticipated based on earlier research, said Dr. Elizabeth McNally, director of the Center for Genetic Medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. One study by other Northwestern researchers tested hospital workers from across the Chicago region and found antibodies in less than 5%. *** The researchers noted that the SCAN team is using a particularly sensitive test for COVID-19 antibodies and therefore is likely identifying more exposures than others have found. The Northwestern researchers who tested hospital workers, for example, used a different antibody test. “Those commercial tests are missing maybe 25% of people ... whereas ours don’t,” McNally said. https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-coronavirus-antibody-testing-chicago-rate-northwestern-20201009-jxzpyewzlrcgnny2fyflupqdcq-story.html#nt=pf-double chain~top-news-chain-1~flex feature~curated~antibodies-fri-530a~JXZPYEWZLRCGNNY2FYFLUPQDCQ~1~2~3~4~art yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White House just isn't all that transparent. Additionally, all his brave talk sounds like a bunch of denial. Even if his condition has improved, obviously this is a disease that can't be dismissed. Regardless, holding rallies would be a horrible decision. More people will get it; more people will suffer. Strange thing to do to your supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Trump is up to $1.8 trillion on the stimulus. Pelosi started at $3 trillion, and said she would make a deal at $2 trillion and was called crazy. Looks like she should have written the Art of a Deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you mean? I hope reform doesn't mean stiffing the pensioners. That would give a new meaning to the word Reform. 7 hours ago, Dick Allen said: Trump is up to $1.8 trillion on the stimulus.

NWINFan Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The fortunate thing is that no one has died or seems to be on death's door as a result of the White House cluster. Trump should, at least, feel relieved for himself and others. That's why having these events is so stupid. He's learning nothing. Also, even with no fatalities, there still can be long-term effects of the virus. Once again, leadership is not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it was a self-own on the part of your hero. A competent leader would have made he response to COVID-19 a priority. From testing, to PPE, to public guidance, to setting an example for the people he leads. Oh, and in THIS case, where the economy has suffered a demand shock, to support people who need help in the form of stimulus. But no, I'm certain that your favorite "news network" has convinced you that nominating a SC justice is more Christian than helping the poor and the small business owner.

Where do you get your information? Pelosi has passed 3 bills. Two that the GOP in the Senate wouldn’t even consider. It seems kind of peculiar for a person that wasn’t serious about passing a bill to actually be passing bills. The myth of the great negotiator has been proven incorrect over and over again, yet some refuse to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Currently shouting over a balcony to a crowd. He says he's stopped taking medication - which again, he was receiving therapeutics, not a "cure." He's yelling about the wall. We could use those funds for coronavirus relief.

I am all for it staying the financial hub of the nation. I have read about people fleeing NYC, Chicago and LA over taxes and homeless and violence. Even Bill Maher, who is liberal, was talking about it on his last show with a Democratic rep from California for instance, that people are fleeing big cities like LA.

I could say the same about Cuomo and Lemon. Just because some people are silent about it does not mean Tucker Carlson and Hannity do not have a lot of viewers. Personally I just want us all to live in peace, have health and be prosperous right now. I fear all three things are things of the past. It makes me sad and concerned that people can;'t accept others' views and why they might disagree with others views. Believe it or not, Carlson has a ton of viewers. So does Limbaugh. So does Hannity. You may know some people who watch them or like them. Those viewers are not all bad Americans. Personally I also enjoy Maher and listening to his views. Yet I also love Rogan. It's good to listen to all views. Edited October 10, 2020 by greg775 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty certain you used to say you didn’t vote for Trump, but you wrote in someone else (speculation was Jesse Ventura).

Middle Buffalo Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 So, Chris Christie checked himself into a hospital as a “precaution” and stayed for a week. I’d love to see what it cost him and which insurance covers an elective COVID hospital stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, you didn’t vote at all? No I was gonna write in Ozzie but thought better of it. If I said I wrote in Ventura I lied but I do love Ventura. I'm no dummy. If I did lie, sorry, Buffalo, it's not a good thing to do. I realize Trump is a rich spoiled man who is selfish IMO and not the best person. But Hillary had angered me beyond belief. I did vote for Sox fan/great man Obama twice. To be honest with you, I'd probably vote for Michelle O if she ran this time. You won't see me voting for either of these candidates this year. Sad that some people like me won't be at the polls. Edited October 10, 2020 by greg775 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
