So an obese old guy gets a hoax virus, what could go wrong?

Woke this morning to the splendid news that karma has decided she is still a bitch, and she was going to go all Covidy on the nasty, lying, killing 200000 Americans because of his disinformation and recklessness, death cult leader that hates America. The odds of him not ending up in hospital...well let’s look at the data...

THIS

For example, in the first metaanalysis of its kind, published on 26 August in Obesity Reviews, an international team of researchers pooled data from scores of peer-reviewed papers capturing 399,000 patients. They found that people with obesity who contracted SARS-CoV-2 were 113% more likely than people of healthy weight to land in the hospital, 74% more likely to be admitted to an ICU, and 48% more likely to die.

AND THIS

In general, your risk of getting severely ill from COVID-19 increases as you get older. In fact, 8 out of 10 COVID-19-related deaths reported in the United States have been among adults aged 65 years and older.

EQUALS ventilators for an awful lot of over weight OAPs... for weeks or months.

Trump is sooo in the high risk category for Covid to get really nasty on his arse. If he lands in hospital, it is highly unlikely he would be out before Election Day, if he makes it out at all.

Praise be Covid Karma

2. It's not likely he will get that sick

Hospitalizations

3. Based on his characteristics

He is more likely to end up in hospital than most other cohorts. It is not just his age, it is his obesity. Still of course most do not get that bad.

7. LOL

A girl tries. And this is a doozy

[Cosmo Blues]

8. Mike Lee just tested positive

This day just keeps getting better and better. Yes how horribly cynical this sounds. But trump is the cruelest, bigoted, misogynistic, and greediest bastard on TV

9. Sorry Trump needs some complications or he will not understand

This man has no empathy anyways...

Don't flame me,, not wishing ill on anyone, but this man does not understand others pain, unless he himself feels it !
