What are the odds, that Trump will suffer any symptoms from CV?

I am not up on this information. What does his positive test actually mean? Nothing? Doesn't matter because it will all be covered up?

Basically a month before, the election the sitting President comes down with this bug, and it could cause more chaos than the fool wanted.

Can he do his job, such as it were? Will Pence have to step in.

Regardless of you sympathy or lack thereof for Trump, this could be one big mess.

Sounds like he is already symptomatic (fatigue is one of the symptoms).

Apparently he was exhausted on Wednesday and lethargic at his fundraiser.

Severity depends partly on how much exposure he had, partly on how healthy he is.

He is not healthy, so there's a good chance he will suffer.

The fact that he doesn’t drink is about the only factor that keeps him out of the MOST vulnerable category.

Granted, he has the best healthcare in the world, but there is only so much one can do for someone in his physical condition.

He didn't follow up. I think the most likely outcome is he will survive and continue with the campaign. I think that would probably be best; Biden wins big and drumpf is out without anymore chaos (hopefully).
