It’s a mistake to think there’s perfect overlap between hardcore Trump supporters and people who believe the restrictions imposed in response to Covid have been excessive.

I’ve been surprised in the last couple weeks by how many people I’ve come across who are being very casual and lax about social distancing. I went to an outdoor wake a few days ago where everyone was shaking hands and eating from a buffet. I doubt all or most of those people believe Covid is a hoax. They just presumably think that public restrictions are excessive and unnecessary.
If 15% of Canadians would vote for Trump, by definition that means 85% wouldn’t.

85% of people don’t agree that water is necessary for life.

Regarding Covid, I think there’s a real fatigue factor that’s set in - people will got that point at different times. So long as the vast majority are wearing masks out in public spaces like the grocery store and malls, the spread in the community will be relatively slow.

And I have yet to see any business truly flaunt mask laws. If a backyard bbq wants to get all up in each other’s viral loads, that’s their choice I guess. But they can’t spread it at Co-Op, so that’s about as much as we can ask.

Also, human nature. This has been going on for 6 months, most people haven't gotten sick, and therefore most people including those that would take it seriously will become lax.

Cool, cool.

Now to pardon literally everyone currently in jail for a non-violent drug offense of any kind.

Ah, see, now I understand the plan.

Step 1: Infect Amy Coney Barrett with COVID-19
Step 2: Appoint Amy Coney Barrett to SCOTUS.
Step 3: All SCOTUS justices infected with COVID-19. Tragically all are lost.
Step 4: Replace entire SCOTUS with Trump appointees before January.
Step 5: January 19th, 2021 SCOTUS decision obviating election results and eliminating term limits from office of President.

DONE.

Apparently Barrett already had COVID earlier in the summer. Though it is known that you can get it again so hopefully she will have to remain in quarantine for another week or more. Enough time to maybe make its way through the GOP senate.

You also know that if Trump recovers the first thing he’s going to say is “I’ve had it. It’s not so bad. A big deal over nothing.” And insult the 250k that have died and their loved ones.

Reports now that Trump has developed a fever since this morning and is also fatigued.

I mean we're at 16 hours since a tweet. If he was just quarantined with jack#### to do and was doing mostly fine, we'd have had multiple calls into FOX News and about 50,000 tweets.

Apparently, one of the possible side-effects is hair loss.

Wouldn't that be a shame?

If / when the unindicted co-conspirator-in-chief is moved to Bethesda Walter Reed then there's a big problem.

Update: some reports that he's being moved now.

Trump may be in rougher shape than anyone is letting on. He was given an experimental antibody cocktail after his diagnosis. Seems an extreme immediate response.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...bec_story.html

Missing the Governor's call this morning, Chris Wallace's report of the Trump campaign arriving late so as not to be tested, and now this news? Maybe Trump has been ill for longer than anyone is letting on.

Trump was also apparently given the highest dose of this experimental treatment.

Also, reports that Trump is being moved to a hospital now.
