If he was a decent person I'd be wishing him well. He's not. I'm not.

Seems tactical to me

nosswith · 02/10/2020 07:03

I hope he recovers as indeed does anyone who has the virus. What I also wish for is that those who have not taken the virus as the threat it is now realise it can hit anyone and do things such as face covering in enclosed public spaces.

MrsWhites · 02/10/2020 07:05

I’m not buying it, he’s just trying to delay the election!

tobee · 02/10/2020 07:05

I think the statistics are still fine for him despite his age and obesity.

AutumnleavesturntoGold · 02/10/2020 07:06

I don't wish him ill at all.

But I would be surprised if he sailed through, he's so incredibly unfit, McDonald's etc.
Either way it could work for him. He gets seriously ill and pulls through, people feel sorry for him, he doesn't get it badly as pp said, it shows the disbelievers it's all crap.

🤷‍♂️

If he truly has it, he deserves it more than anyone.

DCIRozHuntley · 02/10/2020 07:08

Seriously what a shitshow this year is.

JamieLeeCurtains · 02/10/2020 07:08

He's faking.

JamieLeeCurtains · 02/10/2020 07:09

Boris pulled through, people got over it and remembered to loathe him again.

@BeakyWinder

Whoever is writing the script for 2020 needs to dial it down a notch now jeez.
If 2020 were a screenplay, would it be rejected?
Ickabog · 02/10/2020 07:11

I'm another one who thinks he's faking it. Also there's no way he wrote that tweet, it's far too succinct.

RepeatSwan · 02/10/2020 07:12

I can't keep up with this year, my head is spinning Shock

middleager · 02/10/2020 07:13

I'm not sure I believe it.

This gets him out of the debate, gains tonnes of sympathy and gives him a chance to say Covid's just a bit of flu when he no doubt makes a bouncing recovery, even though as an overweight male in his 70s he'd be at greater risk of complications.

StealthPolarBear · 02/10/2020 07:14

Even elderly obese people are still more likely to be OK than not, surely?
I agree, think this is a bit of a tactic.
Has anyone read the replies to his tweet? Endless what looks like devil worship to me, interspersed with people saying (to the same script) that they are crying and vomiting with worry, they named their first child Donald and end by thanking him for stamping out racism. And the odd person saying WTF?

Put it this way: If 2015 - 2020 were a box set TV drama, covering Brexit, the USA etc...it would be a non stop binge watching drama....

Building up to the climax about now

Brilliant :o

Diddums, poor little mite. Good luck Melania,at least the White House is huge with many rooms.

LizzieSiddal · 02/10/2020 07:14

He phoned in a radio station last night, he seemed “normal”.Hmm

StealthPolarBear · 02/10/2020 07:15

Yes I hope melania doesn't have to get too close to him

Tomatoesneedtoripen · 02/10/2020 07:15

also suspicious

MandUs · 02/10/2020 07:18

I think it'll win him the election.

SimonJT · 02/10/2020 07:19

I’m amazed Melania is ever close enough to Trump to catch anything from him.

Surely this is his way of gaining sympathy from his more unsure supporters and showing that covid isn’t serious, which means his lax views on covid will be deemed correct.

ReefTeeth · 02/10/2020 07:20

It's how I felt when BJ got C19.

What's that now? Oh you shouldn't shake hands, riiiight. Got it 🙄

MadeForThis · 02/10/2020 07:20

If it's true then while I would never wish death on anyone, I'm quite happy to wish for some Long Covid.

AutumnleavesturntoGold · 02/10/2020 07:21

Hicks has it, he's been in close proximity with her. It doesn't surprise me at all. Official doctors have signed this off, they would be I imagine bound by oaths as ours are.
