I hope he does OK. He looked pretty frail last night. Please just pass the torch, Joe.

My 70 year old mom just had it, and it barely slowed her down. And Biden already had it a couple of times.

Funny how the rules never seem to apply to the democrats.

Learn the new rules. The pandemic is over, the CDC recommends treating covid like any other cold now.

The rules changing don’t change the fact that it’s contagious. And many people are dying from it.

If he cared about others he’d be wearing a mask.

People would call him weak if he wore a mask. I hope he put one on as soon as he got in the plane, but barring significant sensory issues I would like adults to mask even with other contagious viruses. Common courtesy and all that. But I’m a very small minority.

Biden’s brain has reverted back to his true racist self

Its not covid, it's his brain... she's-a-broke

Either why the stupidly is astonishing. Biden should have withdrawn right after the debate and immediately endorsed the idea of a special primarily to reignite interest.

Nah. This was smart to wait.
The democrats needed to know who they were running against.
Biden’s been waiting for Trump to make his VP pick, and he didn’t want to give Trump an advantage. Trump had to make his selection without knowing if the dems were gonna change their ticket.
If Biden does get out, this timing was smart.

This is how our side plays 4 dimensional chess

Yes, this has been my thought exactly. After the debate Biden was all excited about the increase of small donations but I just kept thinking that these people are never going to see a return of their investment.

I get a tons of text and FB ads begging for money and I think the tone and volume might verge on elder fraud when directed to older voters.

My father in law gave $1000 to Biden. What a waste!

It's not a waste. Either Biden is staying in - or it'll go to Harris. It was always for Biden/Harris.

This version of Covid seems a little nastier than the previous ones. My 25yo DD spent 3-4 days in bed and is still exhausted a week later. And my friend's older aunt just died from it last week.

He was masking in an image from upthread and read the thread. Masking is technically no longer recommended.

Can you explain this? I had Covid this year, and the CDC recommendation was return to work with a mask if testing positive / within a certain time frame. Has that changed? I thought if you have active covid, in the early stages, you wear a mask and avoid people. No?

Yes, the CDC has new guidelines. Covid is now just a cold. Stay home when sick, and when you are symptom and fever free, go out. Just like any other respiratory illness.

He should be. But remember Trump tried to give Biden COVID? Before a single American had been vaxxed?

Biden promoted masks for years.

He should wear one

And stay out of sight for 14 days.

That is the worst possible thing for him to do.

He needs to be very visible from now until November.

Stay in the basement for 13 days and then he is the official nominee on Aug 1 (through on-line voting). What brilliant strategy.

I think it’s great.

He has COVID, not a permanent medical condition. You might have a point if it either kills him or leaves him with serious and lasting long covid health issues.

That IS my point. It certainly will

I'm sure they'll give him the same magic cocktail of meds that Walter Reed gave Trump when he had Covid which only a handful of people had access to at the time. If you recall, Trump was pretty sick that time he was hospitalized for Covid.

"President Donald J. Trump was sicker with Covid-19 in October than publicly acknowledged at the time, with extremely depressed blood oxygen levels at one point and a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus, according to four people familiar with his condition."

Biden needs to spend the rest of the week with a giant gauze bandage on his nose

Anonymous wrote:Could have put on a mask once he got into the confined space of the airplane. Just sayin’

I think he did, but he should have had it on as he boarded. Even outside, there were around ten "helpers" in close proximity. Not cool to expose them if you know you have Covid. They're just doing their job.
