Trump is going to get COVID-19. It is inevitable. Just like I posted yesterday that 90% to 100% of people got the 1918 flu and not 1/3rds like 'experts' say. Being 70+ Trump mught get sicker than a dog, but he wont die. The is less than a 10% or 20% chance of that. I would say less than 5% or 10%, but I do not know what he might be holding back. He apparently has no respiratory problems, so he is probably good. Other cofactors would be diabetes (probably not or we would have heard) and hypertension (??).

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are at greater risk. Bernie has cardiovascular disease so his change of spring is 50% to 100% greater than that of Trump. However, in Bernie's favor he insists on standing for debate unlike Slow Joe.

Well, Quid Pro Joe has been called Uncle Mumbles. Also, CNN has granted Slow Joe's special request to sit down for the next debate. Joe is not in very good health. Between Trump, the Communist and the closet communist. The closeted one is most likely to croak.\\

After watching, and listening to Trump's superfluous meandering it is clear that the USA is a rudderless ship heading towards a whirlpool.
