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

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's health to the American people. /end
