Well Trump is Trump and he’s taking the tack that Covid is no big thing when set against the therapeutics we have to combat it today.
Although I do think he’s just high on Dexamethasone and feeling good. That drug alone will probably turn around almost any Covid infection and clear up lung issues. High altitude mountain climbers use it to keep their lungs clear and not water logged as can happen when scaling very high mountains over a course of days and weeks.
Trump isn’t bowing to the Covid fear, he’s turning that tale on its head and modeling the optimist’s course through the pandemic. Basically, he’s saying that Covid is easily beaten now.
What happens when they harvest Trump’s plasma and clone it so they can offer Trumpian “tiger blood” for anyone battling Covid?

So what if Pence gets it next after the VP debate?
(Not that I want to see that happen.)
Suddenly well go from "keep 6 ft apart to keep 18 ft apart... in full hazmat suits"
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to downplay this... but it is strange to see the amount of caution (or lack there of) generally fall along political lines.
Its a shame really. What ever happened to we all isolate for 14 days and this goes away? Or Flatten the curve. Now it's wait for a vaccine... but we can't rush a vaccine. Masks work, not they don't, yes they do...
Ugh. Its clear they are making it up as the go and have no real idea what "best practices" are or are not effective; except washing your hands regularly which is just common sense.

If Trump dies before election (or is "deathly ill" by November) I predict Trump voters will mostly stay home and Biden will win. If the Dems grab the upper and lower houses as well as the oval office, that'll be the end of the country as we know it... next stop: Venezuela or Civil War II.

Here are my predictions:
- Trump and Melania get better, remain fine after that
- public consciousness starts to turn from "OMG we're all going to die!" to "huh, only 0.26% of the people who get this die, and they are all obese or in very poor health"
- the media desperately hypes the "OMG we're all going to die!" yet again and BIGGER AND LOUDER
- even more people realize the MSM is complete and utter bullshit, turning to the National Enquirer for much higher quality news than the MSM
- Trump wins by an even bigger margin than he would have otherwise
