TFG (74 years old) - Completely botches the COVID response, gets COVID seven months after the first confirmed case. Doesn’t inform his debate opponent, Biden. Has moderate to severe symptoms. Acts like he’s continuing to work (but obviously is too sick). Then survives.
Biden (79 years old) - Says and does everything right about COVID, gets mild case 21 months after TFG, keeps on working.
TFG wasn’t immunized when he got it, the stuff hadn’t been approved yet. He quietly got immunized in January on his way out the door without telling anyone.
So far it seems it’s contained in the nasal passages and throat. He’ll do fine though if he suffers a Paxlovid rebound effect like Fauci did (and it’s a pretty fair bet Biden will as well), the press will really have him at death’s door.
I would add that trump was seriously ill while at Walter Reed Hospital. He was treated with the monoclonal antibodies treatment which likely saved his fat ass.
I am 73 and do not want that virus (flu either for that matter)!! So I mask up when doing errands. and I cut them as short as possible. No dawdling in a store. I stay home as much as possible these days. I have a variety of “underlying conditions” none of which involve air passages, lungs or the heart. Still I don’t wanna get sick. I hope this episode wakes folks up that we are still very much in a pandemic.
We both got our 2nd Moderna booster in April, so I hope they work up an additional booster for us in October, or at least before Thanksgiving when we get flu vaccine
Get it now. I know they say you can do flu shot and vaccine together but my doctor, for one, doesn’t recommend it and that makes sense to me. Also, if omicron specific boosters are available in October, maybe get this one earlier so you’re eligible right away and can get that protection for the holiday season.
