Despite our differences, I wish the President and First Lady a speedy recovery. Every person is different, and I have not examined the President. But what do we know based on public info and the public health data about what Trump is facing? 1/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/02/us/politics/trump-covid.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/0...
What we do know is that Trump is clinically obese (BMI over 30), he is male, and 74 years old.

Compared to 18-29 yr olds w/COVID, acc to @CDCgov, 74 yr olds are 5X more likely to be hospitalized and 90X more likely to die.

Mortality rate for that age is 11%. 3/
This is a serious diagnosis for a man his age. The WH needs to trace his contacts, test them, and be fully transparent about the President& #39;s health to the American people. /end
