"We started the development of a vaccine in Feb." Oh really?

John Hagee, prominent megachurch pastor, ill with COVID-19



(There is a God. He is a nasty little ball of hate.)

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Prominent megachurch pastor and conservative activist John Hagee has been diagnosed with COVID-19, his son announced during services at the Texas church his father founded.

The 80-year-old pastor received the diagnosis Friday and was recovering after the illness was detected early, Matt Hagee said during Sunday morning services at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio.

John Hagee founded a ministry that the church says now has 22,000 members. His sermons are broadcast throughout the United States and Canada and livestreamed online.

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and a cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.

West Wing shut down because of COVID?/PHOTOS: Outside Walter Reed During Trump's Hospitalization

Trump's reckless return met with a dramatically changed White House

(CNN)President Donald Trump may be eagerly seeking a return to normal after three nights in the hospital. But the White House he arrived home to Monday with dramatic and reckless flourish has changed drastically since he was airlifted off the South Lawn at the end of last week.

Instead of a bustling hive of pre-election activity, the West Wing has become a breeding ground for viral contagion. At least 11 of the President's aides or allies have either contracted the virus or -- in the case of his daughter Ivanka -- are working from home. Entire suites of offices sit vacant as Trump's aides work to isolate him in the residence and out of the West Wing.

A new aura of mistrust was settling in as several aides raised questions about whether they had been recklessly put in harm's way over the past week. Accusations of mismanagement -- directed mainly at White House chief of staff Mark Meadows -- have flown amid one of the gravest presidential crises in a generation. An absence of robust contact tracing efforts caused ripples of concern as testing and mask-wearing norms were being second-guessed.

None of that anxiety was allayed when Trump arrived back to the White House Monday. His first act after striding up the South Portico steps was to rip off his mask and stuff it into his pocket -- even though he remains infected with coronavirus and could potentially infect those nearby. He was then seen going back out onto the balcony and re-entering so a camera crew could shoot his entrance.

Is Trump morbidly obese?

6' 1/2" and I would guess he is north of 3 bills too.

Question for the doctors

If Trump hadn't gone to Walter Reed could he have died?

Trump might be in a very bad way... "The President is in the hospital in a touch and go situation."

Fox News about 25 minutes ago.

2 minutes on Fox w/Jesse Waters .... Channel Surfing. (football game to weather channel)

"The President is in the hospital in a touch and go situation." Jesse Waters said this as he was pleading
to the democrats "to be nice to Trump."

Hypothetical question.

When they Trump on a ventilator, then Pence tests positive for C-19, and Nancy
becomes President will you be happy.

BTW I know this is very small potatoes but every year or every other year on the
first weekend in Oct. I go to spend some time with my son, sometimes family, and
friends white water rafting on the Gauley River in West Virginia but not this year.

Damn I miss it.

Who are those idiots waving Trump and American flags outside of Walter Reed Hospital?

Don't the realize that Trump now being in the hospital with the disease that he, the Trumpheads,
and the right wing noise machine all called fake and or a hoax and or overblown is total repudiation
of everything they have been saying.

It is almost like they are having a pep rally because Trump is now having a life threatening illness because
they are living in some kind of fantasy land where snow is not cold, water is not wet, and it doesn't get
dark @ night.
