Her symptoms were very mild, over in a couple of days.
Most cases do not require hospitalization. My two friends, both young professional ballet dancers, simply quarantined at home and had a "couple of rough days."
Yes to the comment about Johnson. The press was full of "he's doing fine" until he crashed and was placed into ICU.
The same was true of our own Herman Cain, one-time candidate for President. If President Trump follows Cain's timeline, he'll be in the thick of it right around Election Day.
Well, this played out pretty much exactly as I expected it to. I hate being right sometimes.
Mr Trump being so monotonically predictable probably has a little bit to do with that.
His whole attitude of how 'he' beat the disease is typical Trump, utterly unable to conceive of the fact that he beat it because he had help from medical experts and medication devised by scientists and doctors. Now he's advising people not to let it dominate them when over 200,000 Americans are dead because of COVID.
The President has a whole circle of functionaries willing to feed that ego trip. Ivanka Trump is purportedly behind the photo ops showing the President allegedly working hard while being treated. Others such as Kellyanne Conway have praised the President for his personal strength in overcoming COVID-19, ignoring the extraordinary medical care. And in pure Trumpian form, he hasn't said a single word about the millions of other people who had to suffer through the disease aided only by America's failing healthcare system, and the hundreds of thousands who have died. No thought for anyone but himself.
I even saw someone tweeting how suspect it was that Trump and his team are getting it and Biden and his cronies are not, even though the reason for that difference is abundantly clear to anyone with half a functioning brain.
But conspiracy theories are much more fun to believe.
I hope America recovers from COVID and Trump, I really do.
Some form of America will survive, just as some form of Russia has survived over the past 200 years. We're a giant, strategically important, resource-rich land mass with hundreds of millions of reasonably intelligent, hard-working people. That's a juggernaut. What gets made of that is anyone's guess at this point.
...anything good that happens is his achievement alone, anything bad is someone else's fault.
There's no limit to what you can overcome if you have a taxpayer-funded private helicopter to airlift you from the hospital in your taxpayer-funded house to your other taxpayer-funded private hospital suite.
