As part of a Government working under the instruction of its people.

Personally, i think we should protect the old and weak and let the virus rip. Get it over and done with, learn to live with it and move on with the process of living because hiding from it is going to (and probably is) killing more people indirectly than the virus itself.

Does that make me a monster? If My government (imaginary) were to follow that approach (a-la Sweden) would this make me the second coming of satan?

No.

Its childish emotional reasoning to even suggest it.

Except Fox News. Someone posted a clip on Twitter of them talking about Trump getting Covid and they had three images of the times Trump did actually wear a mask playing on the screen.

Either way, I hope Trump fully recovers from Covid, quickly and with no long-term side effects.

It would be good for him to get a bad enough dose to realise how serious it is - not as bad a Boris had it - but just bad enough for him to wake up to how this virus works.

Markets not taking it too badly, futures down about 1% (they were down over 2% for a while). It would be different if it was mid term. Markets have assumed Biden will win, hence affect won't be too bad.

I'm sure hydroxychloroquine will create some sort of special forcefield around the don, he ll be fine

Disagree there, I know many Irish supporters and they're deadly serious with their support, I'd imagine since he's been on hydroxychloroquine a long time, his recovery will be a speedy one

If he was ordinary citizen don trump from Hicksville Tennessee and had no health insurance then the outlook wouldn’t be good

But he’s not.

He’s the president and will have pretty much exclusive access to the best of medical treatment

So I’d say he will get over this and then brag about it for ever more

For those who were wondering about what happens in various scenarios of a candidate's death before or after election day, here's some of the answers to that:

https://people.howstuffworks.com/what-happens-presidential-candidate-dies.htm

Looks like the simple answer is, if Trump (or Biden) were to pass away before election day, their parties have rules in place to replace their name on the ballot. That would open up a political nightmare if it happened close to election day as many will vote in advance or mail in ballots already printed. This scenario has never happened with significant candidates at least, in the two centuries of presidential elections.

If they were to pass in the interval between election day and the formal meeting of the "Electoral College" in early December, then that body would decide how to cast their votes, and once again the parties would have some input into the process. That apparently has happened once, a major candidate in 1872 with electoral college votes pledged died in that interval and the electors decided case by case how to re-cast their votes. In practical terms nowadays, the electors are agents of the state governments, back then it was somewhat less formalized and electors were often free agents who occasionally changed their votes from what the states had told them to submit.

If the president-elect were to die after the electoral college and before inauguration day (20th January), then I think the short answer is that the vice-president elect would be sworn in and that person would name his or her own vice president.

I don't know what the Republican Party might choose to do but I suspect that they would choose VP Pence as their nominee in the short time available if that were to become an issue. The Democrats, should Biden pass, might be less eager to nominate their VP candidate fearing she might not hold the vote (she was seen as a sort of guarantee that some of Bernie's platform would be respected, but elevated to the full presidential nomination, that might prove to be a guarantee of defeat).

We did already. I dont think a doctor would sign off on a lie. And all the white house staff etc go along with it. I think he must really have it

My flatmate's lost - so far - 9 family members to Covid in America, while Trump was sitting with his thumb up his arse pretending it was going to go away.

You are not going to scold people into showing compassion for a man who, at best, talks down loss on that scale, and more realistically facilitates it.

I don't particularly care if he recovers or not. It's hard to feel empathy for him when he has shown none to others. Of course his fangirls here will feast on any negative reactions, it's an excuse for some faux outrage and a distraction from serious issues like tax fraud and voter suppression attempts.

As I said with Boris Johnson, I hope his outcome is poor, that he might experience some of the pain and trauma others have due to his corrupt leadership and despicable megalomania.

Maybe if Boris had died, millions of British people wouldn't be dead or up sh!t creek now. Perhaps Trump will die and there won't be an enforced leader in the US from Nov on as he intends. It's not going to be possible to make him leave office, even if he does lose. That's very problematic for their country.

I have every expectation that like every other utter prick that gets it, he'll get the best of medical intervention and make a full recovery. It's a shame how these things go.

It is depressing to see that people actually believe that one person is directly and solely responsible for the deaths of people who have caught an infectious disease like Covid.

Most of the civilised world do not run under a dictatorship, and even then, not every decision or call can be made by the dictator.

I mean, really? are people this shallow and low resolution that they believe this is actually the case?

Trump, is DIRECTLY and PERSONALLY responsible for the deaths of EVERY single US citizen to have died from Covid?
Boris is DIRECTLY and PERSONALLY responsible for the deaths of EVERY single UK citizen to have died from Covid?
