    He could stay at the Whitehouse like a arse or go man up at his private wing of a hospital to get cutting edge medical care and experimental drugs.
     
    oh, come on. You guys remind me of spouses of an abuser: I think he really has changed this time. I think he’s really sorry this time. (Or Susan Collins)

    He paints his completely irresponsible behavior as some sort of courageous act. It’s barf inducing.

    I do believe he was scared, and thought he was going to die. And for right this minute, he’s grateful that people are saying nice things and wishing him well.

    Had he said anything remotely like this “I was wrong to downplay this. I was wrong to discourage people from wearing masks and making fun of people for wearing masks. Please, everyone, take this seriously and wear masks, social distance and wash your hands” then I might believe he has turned a corner.

    It’s a fool who believes this man can take any personal responsibility or think of anyone but himself.
     
    Maybe it’s because he’s sick (he looks pretty sallow) but that whole thing was pretty odd.

    I think it’s just that doesn’t have his usual amount of spray tan on so he looks paler than we’re used to.

    It’s not just that. It’s the edit. I was also trying to figure out if that was the White House. I assumed, when I first saw it, that he’d been discharged. And had returned to the White House. The comments about Melania. There were a few others. Some things just seemed... off. I don’t know how to explain it.

    Where's this coming from? I haven't seen anyone say they think he has changed. Expressing hope of change is not the same as thinking someone has changed. The analogy to spousal abuse is not only hyperbolic, but it doesn't fit at all.

    Politicians can't control a worldwide airborne pandemic no matter how many times you say so.

    The US had 60 million cases on H1N1 under Obama and we were extremely lucky that it wasn't as lethal as Covid.

    Former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain said at Texas A&M in 2019: “We did every possible thing wrong. Sixty million Americans got H1N1 in that period of time, and it is just purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass-casualty events in American history. [It] had nothing to do with us doing anything right; just had to do with luck. If anyone thinks that can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918. Just go back to 2009, 2010. Imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math.”

    If H1N1 had proved as deadly as Covid-19, it could have killed nearly two million.

    And this is EXACTLY why the Trump administration's willful mismanagement is so egregious and inexcusable. They had a recent, well publicized and studied example of what mistakes not to make.

    What struck me as odd was his statement that Melania was doing as statistically expected. The thought that popped into my head is that if he is looking at this from a statistical standpoint, he's probably terrified about his prospects.

    Don’t worry, no one is fooled except people who already want to see the change. Two short videos with a new tone does not erase the evidence of many years and many tweets.

    It is a good strategy for his campaign. It may fool a few people who pretend to be undecided. Won’t lose any votes but maybe get some more.
     
    So, I wonder when they filmed that. Because in the just released statement Conley says he just finished his second dose of Remdisivir. This does track with the dosage recommendations of a loading dose on Day 1 (yesterday) and maintenance doses the next 4 days, IIRC, but it is an IV drug and his hands are not showing any signs of recent IVs. It would be unusual to use his antecubital areas for IV administration. It would also be unusual to remove IV sites between daily infusions. Just something that doesn’t track right.

    Considering he doesn't like any appearance of weakness, it wouldnt surprise me if in fact they remove IV line for this address.

    Could have port in arm under jacket sleeve too?
