Mers and Sars were both coronaviruses, I think. But the tweet seems a bit strange all the same

You doubt correctly.

I don't think you have to call out obvious satire as not real guys

You do in 2020

Fair do's but when you read people's comments under fb memes you'd be surprised what some people are fooled by.

They all have it? Looks like the virus is getting selective no not selective what's the word? Discriminating?

Im beginning to think there might be a god. Hopr trump stays totally aware and concious right through to a humiliting election wipe out

 

[Kaka Tim]

And is it true that they can't vote that grim rightwing women onto the supreme Court now cos covid?

My first reaction was this plays out badly for the Dems and I think it still might. However for Trump's supporters, this really undermines the myth of who they think Trump is (bullish, able to defy wimp viruses etc.). Don't know how that translates into votes and, to be honest, nobody does till we see if he's completely out of the race and we start seeing polls. But I'm coming round to the idea this won't play out as a sympathy vote for Trump. He only comes out of it on the plus side if he's really not that bad and/or these experimental treatment have him bouncing back within the week.

So that's the President, 2 of his most senior and importnat advisers, his campaign chief, the head of his national party organisation, 3 of the senators he needs to get Barrett confirmed, and a whole squad of his staffers
I'm definitely warming to the virus's capacity for good judgment

Trump and Biden went to debate with Jesus. The Electoral College might have to decide between the Libertarians, the Greensr irorhe Party for Socialism and Liberation

I was wondering earlier if perhaps the fact so many people from that one event are testing positive might help solidify the whole contagion thing in people's minds, make them think twice about gatherings. Maybe.

I mean, apparently the last 7-8 months and 1m+ deaths can't, but feel like there's possibly something a little different when it's 'their' people and you can identify the event and spread so clearly. There's literally a photo where you can just tick people off.

 

[Streathamite]

Not quite yet. It needs those 3 senators to stay incapacitated, and two more GOP senators to say they won't play ball (remember, Pence has the casting vote, as the President of the Senate, in the event of a tied vote).

 

[Streathamite]

But I'm coming round to the idea this won't play out as a sympathy vote for Trump.

I don't think it will, simply because it brings it home to everyone how he's been completely wrong about the virus, at every turn, and he's handled the situation disastrously badly at every turn. Such sympathy as people might have will be evaporated by the reminder that, even if he does recover fully, 200,000 Americans weren't so lucky - and he's the guy who was supposed to protect them.

It would help matters if there was some kind of animation added to the picture of them shaking hands indoors, overlaying the plume of virus they were spraying on each other. Probably a bit too bad taste for the Dems to do it, but there will be plenty of options on social media.

Ooh, the + symbol is almost a cross, but relevant enough that it could be argued it's not in poor taste when pasted over someone's face.

… and the Dems have to say all of the above, with added faux sympathy for TRump of course.

absolutely. Sort of "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him". Kill 'em with kindness and sympathy

If it comes to pass that trump realises he has no chance of winning the election, even through the courts or by a coup or whichever, his next idea might be to attempt to properly sabotage the whole thing, like a kid putting a nail in the football because he can’t play ?

I think it'd potentially play out badly for the Dems if they were trailing in the race and had to make up for their current deficit via a strong campaign against Trump and future debates. But all indicators suggest Biden's the heavy favourite right now: Trump's the one who's got to claw it back here.

With any other incumbent they'd potentially benefit, but he's been so dismissive of the virus it's hard to see how he looks good. If he comes back fine and says it was no biggie, then he's offending the millions of Americans out there who've lost loved ones to the infection. If he ends up in a grave condition, he looks like a fucking idiot who has willingly endangered himself and those around him by contracting a virus which is known for being especially deadly when old people are exposed to it.

Don't see how he can do that. He might try but beyond literally implementing a police state it's not viable. And I don't see how he can do that when you've got a federal nation with Democrats running many states. In many ways his current voter fraud cries are as a result of the fact he clearly thinks he's fucked and has no way of winning the election. There's no coherent plan to keep him in power if Biden wins comfortably.

Yep. I’m imagining something like him telling his supporters to boycott the election but even then I suppose the system will roll on in some form without him.
