I think that it would be more important for him to confirm to his base that he is healthy and too insulated for the corona than it would be for him to pull a late night stunt on people that likely won't even read about it until after his status is confirmed tomorrow morning.That's not what's in the game plan. Besides his supporters know better than to fall for this bullshit. He has some sort of strategy designed to fuck with Liberals. Maybe Melania will claim creepy Joe sniffed her hair and that's how she caught it and Donald caught it from her. Next Joe Biden will have to get tested. Covid-19 is just being used as a tool now it's easy to see. But they'll make it appear real for ya.
You old guys on this board are funny. You and Oeb calling me a leftist and Larper calling me broke is like someone that has never as much as seen a picture of you calling you ugly. You are all out of touch old men yelling at clouds. Shooting blanks for years in multiple ways. Originally Posted by smokedog01

Trump claims children are "virtually immune" to coronavirus
From CNN's Maegan Vazquez
President Trump argued on Wednesday that children should return to US schools because they’re “almost” or “virtually immune” from the coronavirus. Even though children are less susceptible to the virus, they can still transmit it to others in their household or within their communities.
“If you look at children, children are almost — I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease. So few — they’ve gotten stronger. Hard to believe. I don’t know how you feel about it, but they have much stronger immune systems than we do, somehow, for this. And they don’t have a problem. They just don’t have a problem,” Trump said.
Trump said he would get media criticism for using the term “totally immune,” adding, “but the fact is that they are virtually immune from this problem.”
The President also brought up that only one minor had died from coronavirus in the state of New Jersey and that he suspected the child was diabetic. He also suggested that children under the diabetic child’s age were also even more immune.
Remember: But at least two children have died from coronavirus in New Jersey and both were under the age of five.
The President also said older teachers should wait out the pandemic before returning to work in classrooms.
Last month, Trump asserted that children do not catch or spread the coronavirus easily and that he’s comfortable with his children and grandchildren returning to school.
What we know about kids and coronavirus: CNN previously reported that researchers in South Korea have found that children between the ages of 10 and 19 can transmit Covid-19 within a household just as much as adults, according to research published in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. They also found that children ages 9 and under transmitted the virus within their household at rates that were a lot lower.
US Surgeon General Jerome Adams told CBS News last month that though the risk to children getting coronavirus is low, they can still transmit it to others.
"We know the risk is low to the actual students. But we know they can transmit to others. … We need to take measures to make sure we protect those who are vulnerable either because they are older or they have chronic medical conditions," Adams said.
Whoa!!! This is going to get real interesting.
This is pretty unlikely, probably less than 5%, but I wonder what happens if Trump becomes sick enough that he can't campaign or even passes away before the election.
Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, was on death's door and he's a lot younger than Trump, although maybe about as overweight.
In any event, my prayers are with the president. He's not my favorite person, but I hope he pulls through. Originally Posted by Tiny
