  I'd put the odds he ends up in the hospital within a week at better than 75%.

  I expected him to be admitted within 6 days...not 6 hours of when I posted this!

  He is seriously, seriously ill. He's going to be in the hospital for a long time.

  Don't be fooled by the photo-ops of him signing a blank sheet of paper, or even his joyride to wave at the Proud Boys hanging around outside the hospital. One of the immediate but short-term side-effects of the heavy corticosteroids he's taking is a burst of energy, even euphoria. He'll have crashed by Sunday night. That pattern may repeat this week - videos and messages of "hey I'm feeling great" during the day, frightening crashes in the evening.

  He may recover - it's far from settled, but he is of course going to get the best medical care humanly possible. The question is, can even the world's best doctors compensate for his serious comorbidities such as age, obesity, high blood pressure, etc.? By the end of the week I expect we will have at least a somewhat clearer picture.

  given his age and weight, he is at very high risk of needing to be hospitalized.. trump is arguably the most well-protected man on earth, and he got it.. people.....wear a fruggin' mask!.

  Dude's been given dexamethasone.

  That is given to only the sickest patients. In fact it is potentially harmful in non-severe cases.

  By the way, a side effect is a feeling of hyperactivity and euphoria, which explains the pointless joyride yesterday.

  Not to mention the Remdesivir & Regeneron,

  Would the medical team of the POTUS give him such a potent cocktail of drugs not indicated for a mild case, just for the hell of it?

  Dude is seriously ill, and photo-ops of him signing blank pieces of paper and scowling at an inactive speakerphone don't change that.

  He's not being discharged Monday, nor Tuesday, nor anytime soon. He will get worse before / if he gets better.

  kinda "fat"

  Have you seen him after a golf game, without his girdle?

  The dude is well north of 300 pounds.

  The term you are looking for is "morbidly obese".

  Age 70+, morbidly obese, COVID positive - I'd put the odds he ends up in the hospital within a week at better than 75%.

  acquired immunity to that plague.

  Latest studies (preliminary) indicate that immunity may only last a few months. Not definitive but definitely discouraging.

  Oh yeah: to "acquire immunity" you have to survive it in the first place. Given his age and morbid obesity that's far from assured.

  I think it must be true - you'd have to be a Q-Anon level conspiracy theory nutter to believe that dozens or hundreds of government officials were in on a "fake positive test result so he doesn't have to debate again" ruse.

  Why not help 'the friends' with the wealth?

  in the new testament, when funds were collected, they were distributed to all, not hoarded at hq (not that there was an hq).

  of course now they're fraudulently taking credit for the government's free food program, but what about other things, unlike disaster relief, that don't get them publicity and credit?

  for instance, the latest jwdotorg article about azerbaijan says this:.

  if brothers or sisters are in dire need then there is a provision within the organisation that allows the
  congregation to give modest financial support to a member in extreme difficulty.

  IF

  IF IF IF IF IF

  IF the "member in extreme difficulty" is "exemplary", and "has many many many years of faithful service" and has no (as in absolutely 0) family members who can help out and no government-sponsored sources of relief are available and there is not even one member of the congregation able to provide financial support and the member actually, you know, needs to eat in order to survive....

  THEN, perhaps, congregation funds could be used to buy some tuna fish and peanut butter (generic, 30% discount because the expiration date is tomorrow).

  Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD

  in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

  i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

  what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

  Do you look forward to billions of humans being destroyed like Tony Morris does?

  Oh it's much worse than that.

  Morris is expecting to be one of the ones who does the actual killing. Current JW doctrine has the resurrected 144,000 riding as Jesus' cavalry during Armageddon.

  Every time he sneeringly gloats over the impending slaughter of billions of men, women, children, and infants, he is sneeringly gloating over the prospect of doing the slaughtering himself.

  Now do you see why I posted my earlier comment about the ugly darkness in his soul?

  He wants to kill. He longs to kill. He can't wait until he has his spiritual horse and spiritual sword to kill, kill, kill.

  You can hear his anticipated glee in his voice.

  Morris has something really dark and really ugly inside his soul. He tries to hide it, or drown it in scotch, but every so often it is exposed.
