If Trump gets the virus it probably won't be so bad for him.

He doesn't smoke or drink and has no outstanding health issues, ( that we know of) so he will probably get through it without serious problems in spite of his age. The biggest issue is his continuing to interact with people which would spread the disease and endanger others.

Don't get your hopes up that it would eliminate him.

when he decided he needed his "yearly check-up" early and went to the hospital. He is obese and that puts a strain on the heart and he eats salty crap which could give him a stroke. His breathing always sounds strained, even more so lately.

has intermittent explosive disorder, among many other mental problems. But yes, other than that, he's perfectly healthy. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

And this disease is claiming people much younger and healthier than he.

Can we ever believe anything these people say? So I think they'll call it the flu and that is that.

This virus is a very efficient killer of the elderly. Add to that, he looks to be overweight (regardless of what his official weight supposedly is).

Probably diabetic too from his lousy diet and obesity. It seem he's very much at risk.
