One would think he will be back in hospital fairly quickly, as you say 74 is not a good age to be getting the virus, strange his wife wasn't with him.

Saw this coin amongst scores of others on the White House Gift Shop catalogue.
Now I understand why "Trump beats COVID" was in fact a modest understatement...

What will be most interesting, will be if he doesn't have a relapse and continues on with the election campaign. That will raise some conspiracy theories.
Love to see the sales numbers on these things.Saw this coin amongst scores of others on the White House Gift Shop catalogue.

Be interesting to know if Donald or one of his companies is getting a cut from the sales.
If you go back over the previous mementos and knick knacks for sale they are at the lower end of the price scale ($30/40 ) and have a general White House/US government theme.
The Trump items have jumped to $100 and overwhelmingly focus on the achievements of the "Great Glorious Most Stable Genius" President.
I think Kim would approve..

Yeah. The concerning part is the very rapid decline and death within a few days of apparently being ok.
I don't believe any of the doctors would accept that Trump is anywhere near better.The steroids are making him feel like King Kong but I don't believe there is evidence that the virus has abated yet.
Meanwhile half the White House staff are already off sick and the remainder are desperately trying to avoid the same fate with a maskless, infectious Trump barking at everyone and crowing he has beat the virus.
Only in Trumps world.

The starkly different impacts of COVID across wealth and privilege in the US.
Not only is Trump ignoring all of the ways in which he has gotten the best treatments available in the world, he is also creating a highly selective and discriminatory narrative – one that downplays the pandemic and paints his family’s Covid-19 experience as representative of all Americans. To propose bleach for others and expensive medical cocktails for yourself is the height of privilege.

Don't believe privilege affects Covid-19 outcomes? Trump is a case in point | Renee C Wurth
Disparities in treatment and outcomes for the coronavirus are stark, and fall along race and class lines. It’s no wonder why

Herman Cain's Death Didn't Change People's Perspective on COVID-19
Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain died on July 30, a month after he was diagnosed with COVID-19. Before his diagnosis, he had posted a photo of himself not wearing a mask at a June 20 rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for President Trump.

Covid: more than 80% of positive UK cases in study had no core symptoms
ONS survey said 86.1% of people between April and June had none of the main symptoms of coronavirus
More than 80% of people who tested positive in a national coronavirus survey had none of the core symptoms of the disease the day they took the test, scientists say.
The finding has prompted fears that future Covid-19 outbreaks will be hard to control without more widespread testing in the community to pick up “silent transmission”, particularly in universities and high-risk workplaces such as meat processing facilities.
Researchers at UCL said 86.1% of infected people picked up by the Office for National Statistics Covid-19 survey between April and June had none of the main symptoms of the illness, namely a cough, or a fever, or a loss of taste or smell the day they had the test.
Three quarters who tested positive had no notable symptoms at all, the scientists found when they checked whether people reported other ailments such as fatigue and breathlessness on the day of testing.
Unlike coronavirus testing in the community which focuses on people with symptoms, the ONS infection survey routinely tests tens of thousands of households around the country whether the occupants have symptoms or not.
“At the moment, the focus is on people who have symptoms, but if you are not catching all those who are asymptomatic or presymptomatic it may be really difficult to get outbreaks down in time, before they get out of control,” said Irene Petersen, an author on the study and professor of epidemiology and health informatics.
While those who tested positive in the ONS survey may have gone on to develop a fever, cough or other common symptoms, Petersen believes there is a risk of “silent transmission” by people who are unaware they are infected.
The study, reported in Clinical Epidemiology, analysed the symptoms described by more than 36,000 people who were tested between April and June. Only 115 tests came back positive and of those only 27 people, or 23.5%, had symptoms of any description.
When the scientists narrowed the symptoms down to the main three for coronavirus infections, namely a cough, or a fever, or a loss of taste or smell, the number reporting the ailments fell to 16 or 13.9%.
On the back of the findings, Petersen argues that universities and high-risk work places, such as meat processing facilities, should do regular testing to pick up people who may be infectious but are not displaying symptoms. She urged universities to ramp up testing capacity now so students could be tested through the autumn and crucially before they return home at Christmas. “Anybody who’s had students coming home at Christmas knows they often bring some sort of bug with them and this Christmas in particular they could bring Covid home and potentially seed new outbreaks,” she said.

Really, who would have thought, if most studied the data they would have found the same conclusion.

Excellent article on the effects of the drugs Donald Trump has been taking to treat COVID. Everyone recognises the powerful short term effects of the steroid. If Trump "feels 20 years younger" it is only tempory - and because of the drugs.
Donald Trump has finished his COVID-19 treatment, but has he recovered?

Will Donald Trump still feel 'incredible' now he's off steroids?
Donald Trump has been taking a cocktail of drugs to fight COVID-19. This is what the experts think will happen when the treatments wear off.

A friend who was on the same drug posted this:
Trump said he felt better than he had in 20 years. I received the same steroid Trump did after my acoustic neuroma surgery. Even though I had a hole cut in my skull, was vomiting frequently due to lack of balance, and had to learn to walk again, the steroids caused a wave of energy in me like nothing I had felt before. I wrote lengthy blogs, signed up for online classes, designed a NYT crossword puzzle, read several books a day—all boosted by the steroid, which also kept me awake 20-22 hours a day for 10 days. I felt invincible despite the surgery’s serious after effects to my body. I am seriously concerned for our world right now—more than usual—because our president is undergoing a euphoric chemical rush, an incredibly dangerous state to be in given his psychological disorders and ability to cause even more harm to humans than usual.

I'm curious as to whether he's still been taking Hydroxychloroquine he was promoting so fervently in previous months?
Since he tested +ve, there's been nothing from him about it. Some studies suggest it may actually increase the mortality rate of COVID patients with serious cases.

Us mugs should be running WHO, some of us said a very long time ago to mask up and carry on (just like the experts do, think Asia) and don't forget your daily Vitamin D

The World Health Organisation has backflipped on its original COVID-19 stance after calling for world leaders to stop locking down their countries and economies.
Dr. David Nabarro from the WHO appealed to world leaders yesterday, telling them to stop “using lockdowns as your primary control method” of the coronavirus.
He also claimed that the only thing lockdowns achieved was poverty – with no mention of the potential lives saved.
“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said.>>
