COVID-19 Megathread 6: Return of the Omicron

[GP270watch]

Biden just tested negative as did his wife Dr. Jill Biden.

Thank goodness.

I'm going to post the same thing here as I just did on the main Thread about the trumps catching one should look at this the same way you view someone who was hospitalized from a traffic accident they got into after driving 30 miles above the speed limit and running repeated red lights. You hope they recover soon, but you can't help but shake your head at how much that person's recklessness threatened the health and safety of not only themselves, but of countless Innocents as well.

To fully complete the analogy, when should consider Trump the same as someone with a long history of such traffic offenses, in that you know they are almost surely not going to learn anything from the experience.

[GP270watch]

 The President is now being administered a cocktail by Regeneron, an antibody cocktail that is a combination of recovered person's antibody and synthetic antibody Regeneron created. This is not an approved treatment yet so Trump is receiving something that is new but has shown positive results. He is also taking Vitamin D and Zinc and is reported to be fatigued and have a temperature.

I just heard they are taking him to the hospital? Oh boy

Being transported to Walter Reed out of abundance of caution

Being transported to Walter Reed out of abundance of caution

He hasn't tweeted for 16 hours.

[Crumpets]

From the Iowa caucuses to this, it's strange how "out of an abundance of caution" has become the motto of 2020.

[MasterJedi]

Being transported to Walter Reed out of abundance of caution

He hasn't tweeted for 16 hours.

Not like they'd admit anything would be wrong until there's a corpse anyways but it could be just mild symptoms too. It's Trump, you know he would get full on man flu about it.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

This is all extremely similar to the sort of language used to describe Boris Johnson's covid experience earlier this year...

[It’s so Joever]

This is all extremely similar to the sort of language used to describe Boris Johnson's covid experience earlier this year...

So does that mean a Trump poll bounce?

[Indy Texas]

That video was...not reassuring.

He now has "difficulty breathing"

Kellyanne Conway has Covid-19 according to her daughter Claudia Conway. Her daughter also said she's been coughing badly for days and complaining her lungs hurt(Don't know if she's exaggerating)

You can see Chris Christie in that clip-and Christie is of course an ABC political contributor, and was on ABC's debate panel Tuesday night. One wonders if he might have contracted it and passed it to the ABC journalists. We shall see..

I don’t hope for Johnson to die...but he is a Republican in a swing state and getting rid of an incumbent couldn’t hurt.
Again, I am only speaking hypothetically, I obviously want Johnson to survive, believe me.
