Good Lord...they may all get it!

[ashredux]

President Trump
VP Mike Pence
Ivanka Trump
Attorney General Bill Barr
Mitch McConnell

All have been recently exposed on a personal one-on-one interaction
The Universe has a wonderful sense of irony....

[DeminPennswoods]

1. Indeed!

Don't forget Elaine Chao (Mrs McConnell) has family in China.

[brewens]

2. I still have to hope, albeit just a little bit, that none of them get it. That would be a good sign

for the rest of us, that you can be exposed and avoid getting it.

[cynatnite]

3. These people may have it and then spread it to others...

such as our Dem leaders and more.

This is horrible.

[lagomorph777]

33. If one of them gets it, they might start taking it seriously.

And if several of them die from it, the power of the cabal to block effective response will be greatly reduced, and millions may live as a result.

[Bengus81]

60. Yeah and FOX down playing CV as only a re-election HOAX to hurt Trump

Hell....I hope every knuckle dragger at FOX NEWS comes down with it............

[totodeinhere]

39. Correct. That virus doesn't care if you are a Republican or a Democrat.

We are all at risk.

[at140]

4. Those under age 60 and in good health have very low risk of serious problems

Those over 70 with side health issues will be most at risk of death.
I am nearing 80, returned from a cruise 13 days ago, and no fever, no cough, no nothing.
But I have no health issues and exercise regularly.

I am practicing simple practices to protect from the virus, such as:
wash my hands every time I touch something others may have used.
if hand washing is not immediately possible, do not touch my face until hands are washed.
no hand shakes with anyone.
sneeze in crook of my arms.
minimizing trips outside of home.

[ashredux]

5. It's a ticking time bomb.....

[hlthe2b]

6. If they DO, we may ALL be convinced that...

there IS a God.



Yes, I feel guilty even writing that,but...
I'll just quickly add, that I don't wish ANYONE to be sick, but if that is what it takes to get someone to take this seriously and these losers to step aside, then how can we not?

[Duppers]

22. No apology necessary.

You just said what we're all thinking.

Wouldn't the world be better without some people?! We know it would.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

85. Agree

Certain personality types fuck everything up for all of us.

I hope the virus wipes out narcissists sociopaths and authoritarians. Those with the dark triad. We have suffered these assholes for far too long. Now they're killing us and the planet and feel no shame.

I would not feel bad if every dark triad piece of shit died.

However people who feel empathy and are capable of love my heart goes out to them and I hope the virus leaves them untouched for the most part.

[Duppers]

86. ...

[I_UndergroundPanther]

88. ❤️

Duppers

[2naSalit]

51. Karma?

[33taw]

68. There is absolutely no need to apologize. These are the most selfish people in the world.

[Laffy Kat]

81. You're forgiven.

Most of us realize it would be a positive turn of events for the country if they perished. Sorry, but it's true.

[DFW]

7. Ghost Donald and McTurtle are in the high danger group

McTurtle is probably smart enough to lay low if he shows symptoms. Trump is not. Fine with me. Let him go golfing somewhere, surrounded by Pence and other sycophants, and be carted off to the nearest emergency ward while convulsing in a coughing fit.

[at140]

10. Is Trump Diabetic, has kidney or liver disease, history of heart attacks or strokes, or has COPD?

If yes, he is at serious risk of coming down with covid-19 and death.
But he has not published his health report so who knows!

[DFW]

11. He qualifies in a few areas

He is over 70, overweight, and experiences shortness of breath, so his lung capacity is already sub-optimal.

[at140]

13. and probably does no regular exercise!

Regular exercise is keeping me out of the doctor's office and I am nearing age 80.

[DFW]

15. He needed a golf cart to keep up with Angela Merkel on foot.

I'd say his lack of regular exercise is more than just a "probable."

Obama on the basketball court, he is definitely NOT.

[malaise]

16. He's actually the perfect candidate

for Covid-19

[DFW]

19. I thought so

Poetic Justice always had more effect than "Justice Democrats" anyway. Let Nature take its course.

[malaise]

21. I just wish that in this instance, nature would move as fast as a Cat5 hurricane

[spooky3]

29. Wait, wait, when the Tennis Pavilion is finished, he'll play every day.

[malaise]

31. My wish is that he'll never play tennis at the WH

Fuck him

[at140]

77. You mean to die if he gets covid-19

because of age and physical condition. If you are in 30's and in good shape, covid-19 has little chance to kill you.
Actually it is usually milder symptoms than seasonal Flu in those cases.

[malaise]

79. Yes

to die

[DFW]

44. I saw John Mayall perform at age 79

He was playing 3 different instruments and jumping around the stage as if he were 35. It can be done!

I was in Truro, MA, and saw the sign saying John Mayall tonight, and I thought, wait, he has to be near 80, so it can't be THE John Mayall. But it indeed WAS "the" John Mayall.

[Alliepoo]

61. That's amazing!!

Would have been cool to see that show!!

[at140]

75. Yes, I set the treadmill to move at 20 min/mile

3 deg up-slope, and try to go 27-30 min. It is unbelievable how much that is helping me.
If I don't get lazy and don't quit the routine, I hope to feel the same energy at age 90.
There are no meds, no foods, no vegetables, no fruits, which can help stay healthy like regular exercise.

[Norbert]

34. His diet is horrible

He shows no signs of changing that and it will end up being his demise. You can hide your taxes, hush up witnesses and classify material that may incriminate you but you can't hide from your health.

[DFW]

40. The one thing lying about will not improve

He can say he runs a four minute mile if he wants, but the video of him in the golf cart with the rest of the heads of state on foot can't be dismissed as fake. Maybe Fox spun it saying he got preferential treatment, but they can't deny what the tape showed.

[at140]

76. Yes, his diet of cheeseburgers in mid-70's with no exercise

is like a ticking time bomb.

[hlthe2b]

18. He has underlying cardiovascular risks: obese, documented hi cholesterol, increased coronary Calcium

SO, even with the little that we DO know, he is at considerable increased risk.

[at140]

8. Make a note: Prevention is superior to testing/treatment

If everybody practiced simple prevention steps in my post above,
it will reduce infections in the first place.

[empedocles]

9. Birds of a feather

[procon]

12. I want to see him collapse on stage in full view

of the live broadcast cameras. Icing on that image would be a HD close up of him writhing on the floor and foaming at the mouth.

Yeah, I'm sick... sick of helplessly watching as Trump systematically destroyed my country and ripped the guts out of the government. It would be justice served if his mortal fate was by delivered by the virus he claimed was a hoax.

[smirkymonkey]

14. +1000

I know, I am evil for agreeing with you. But if anyone deserves such a fate, it would be him.

[procon]

46. Maybe DU needs to add a support group... nt

[ashredux]

17. That is well within the realm of possibility

[Dios Mio]

30. Collapse

Big glob of orange jello.

[Demonaut]

20. I think they have found protection for this, it would not surprise me, I think they knew

[Duppers]

24. ...

[Scarsdale]

23. Poetic justice.

Or the Lord works in mysterious ways. Maybe the Lord saw how the gop is putting the fix in for the next election and decided HE had better step in. One bright side, Ivanka's kids are safe, since she spends little time with them. She is constantly on the road, polishing her credentials for her WH run.

[JustAnotherGen]

25. What if 45 is a super spreader?

26. Tom Hanks!

[Renew Deal]

72. Looks like it's not true

[dem4decades]

27. Good lord? No, the Lord works in mysterious ways maybe?

[ashredux]

28. Let me change that...GREAT Lord

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. Sorry, no lord, no god. It is a virus. . . . nt

[dem4decades]

48. It wasn't a serious post.

[ashredux]

56. I was using an idiom

[obamanut2012]

32. #presidentpelosi

[Vinca]

36. We need to put a sterile bubble around Madam President.

[totodeinhere]

37. And the wife of Justin Trudeau. n/t

[Trueblue Texan]

38. yeah, but I really, REALLY hope that...

...Trump doesn't get the virus. Cuz then he might die of it and we'll never get to see him being marched off to prison in handcuffs! That would be a real tragedy!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. Ya, then we will be accused of using his death for

Political gain. Can envision it now - you're not allowed to mention.

[MoonchildCA]

58. I just remember how happy I was when...

Bush flew away from the Whitehouse in a helicopter. Even that, would be a wonderful event to witness.

[gordianot]

67. A supreme moment of joy for me is when Nixon resigned.

The local News announced the time his plane would fly over our town (former Air Force 1). Sure enough at allotted time a plane with contrails.

[hkp11]

41. we need our Dems in congress, especially Nancy

to keep hands/mouth away from these folks, but it may have been too late!!

Dems are trying to get bill implemented, so they have to work with these assholes!! We don't need Nancy to get sick!!

[greymattermom]

42. It seems highly likely to me

that at least one of them will get it. Then....you know.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

45. If they were the only ones, I admit I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

But we're likely looking at anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands to millions of people more in this country alone, so not a whole lot of cause for celebration on my end.

Sort of like how people want a hurricane to slam into Mar a Lago not realizing about all the people like myself who live nearby.

[wnylib]

71. I read a prediction yesterday

about the likely number of deaths. It came from a mefical source, the CDC, I think. I've read so many reports on this that they blur in my memory.

Their estimate was 1 million American deaths.

[ashredux]

47. Let's not forget....Pelosi is third in-line

[UpInArms]

49. Adding: Ivanka, Jared and Kellyanne ... and Barr for a bonus

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142446700

[MLAA]

74. Don't forget racist Stephen miller.

[bucolic_frolic]

50. C'mon people, it's impossible for these goody two shoes

to have anything adverse happen to them. They live in a sterile bubble, go to church every Sunday, and are all faithful in their marriages.

Aren't they?

[Thomas Hurt]

52. They are all hoping they don't get it, so they can see? Its nothing .

or the pig will brag about his aryan genes or something.

[dchill]

53. No justice in the US, but Cosmic Justice is in full bloom.

[queentonic]

54. Incubation Period

It is my understanding that the incubation period is around 5 days but can, in a very few cases, go out to 14 days. If that is true, then Trump et. al. should be showing signs of illness today.
Feel free to correct me on this.

[pazzyanne]

63. According to an article in the NYT it could be as long as 24 days.

https://nypost.com/2020/02/13/coronavirus-incubation-period-may-be-much-longer-than-once-thought/

[ashredux]

55. Instant Karma

“ Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you”

John Lennon

[moonseller66]

57. Two Words!

Supreme Court!

RBG...phone it in!

Thomas, Kennedy, Alito, Kavanaugh and Roberts...party like its one of Brett's Boof gigs!

Oh, and invite Moscow Mitch!

[Botany]

59. "The virus doesn't stand a chance." D. Trump 3/11/20

n/t

[hurple]

62. Odd

How close that list is to my list of people I hope fall over dead from this virus.

[pamdb]

65. Tests

These people, like Lindsey Graham, get tested just because well, maybe...but a normal person who is displaying symptoms, THEN there are no testing kits available. I wouldn’t waste my sympathy on them.

[TheRealistRealist]

66. I believe certain folks have a secret vaccine

Also, just because this virus started in China, it does not mean it was created there. People need to revisit Wilbur Ross comments about CV hurting China's economy and helping our economy.

[mountain grammy]

69. They all have it.

They already have brain rot.

[librechik]

70. Hah!so thanks, President Anus Bleach, for never inviting Democrats to Mar-a-Swamp.

Your evil actions will return upon you like a turd tornado

[NNadir]

73. That would suggest that there is a God...

...and she has a sense of humor.

[Crunchy Frog]

82. I would have to reassess my entire belief system if this came to pass. n/t

[Hortensis]

78. Yeah, well. They'll all probably also be fine in a few days.

Much as I wish them at least great misery and enough permanent lung damage to retire them, for most people this is a cold, if they even know they have it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

80. Add Mayor of Miami. Tested positive due to Bolsonaro.

[customerserviceguy]

83. While that may seem amusing

Please recall that most all of the Democratic leadership is in the same age bracket, and the exposure level is similar. I don't want Nancy Pelosi or Steny Hoyer getting this.

[Pluvious]

84. Zeus has sent this plague in answer to our prayers...

He's using it to rid us of the orange madness,
and to fuck with the rest of us for their amusement.

[Crunchy Frog]

87. I would officially renounce atheism.
