A few months ago it was Boris now it is Trumps turn to be possibly very ill. I hope he is ok. Such a frightening time for americans.

I would imagine a lot of Americans are anything but frightened at the prospect of their president being seriously ill.

Where did you hear this? There's nothing on any of the more reliable news sources.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 02/10/2020 22:31

Was just announced ON BBC news. It's all very last minute I think.

I suspect there will be street parties tonight rather than worry! He's a very decisive figure!!! Friends are already posting on Facebook how they hope it's his final trip. I don't personally wish him ill health, that would be wrong but keeping him in hospital until early November would be an idea???

"Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. "

Working out of presidential offices in a hospital after having taken his private helicopter, is hardly the same as being airlifted to hospital!!!

So dramatic Hmm

Riddlediddle · 02/10/2020 22:35

Ah yes just seen it now. Seems as though its precautionary though rather than anything serious. Still only mild symptoms

Yes, just after one Doctor interviewed on BBC said that some patients can fall off a cliff rather than developing symptoms gradually.

PineappleUpsideDownCake · 02/10/2020 22:35

Wow. I imagine they'd take him in as a precautionary measure way earlier than they'd admit a normal persom.

Tangledyarn · 02/10/2020 22:36

Hes not being airlifted..hes going in his private helicopter like he always does, to his private hospital for cautionary treatment. Hopefully he'll take a turn for the worst asap.

yearinyearout · 02/10/2020 22:36

It did say he isn’t seriously ill but it’s just a precaution because of his age.

KaptainKaveman · 02/10/2020 22:36

The prospect of his re-election is far more frightening.
No sympathy from me:
He scorned Biden on live debate the other night for wearing a mask.
He told people to ingest bleach.
He sacked scientists who suggested he was wrong.
He said covid 19 was a hoax.

He deserves to have it. I hope he gets really really ill. I honestly do. He's been so spiteful and disgusting in his handling of the entire pandemic that he really deserves to have it.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 02/10/2020 22:36

BBC also saying he has a fully kitted out hospital within the white house so it's concerning that he would feel the need to go elsewhere.
