Know what? In current circumstances I’d give them quite a lot of leeway, if they were honest. This really is uncharted territory, poor decisions are almost inevitable. But the constant bullshit makes me want to scream in their faces “WE ARE NOT ****ING IDIOTS, STOP LYING!”.

Again mate, I couldn’t agree more. I’d have more respect for them if they just admitted they didn’t have a clue how to deal with it and tried different options, and of course some didn’t work.
It’s this constant blaming of anyone else they can think of that pisses me off.

There are enough people out there convinced by the slither of the media they consume that they’re doing the best job possible and anyway Corbyn was going to house a refugee in your bed and raise income tax to 99.9%.

Possibly, but speaking for myself I was prepared to knuckle down and do as asked early in this thing, even though I would never vote for these people and at the start thought the risks of the virus were hugely overstated. But all the goodwill has been burned.

Watching CNN live. Marine one helicopter on the lawn to take Trump to hospital.

Looks like his condition might have worsened?
 
I recommend Domestos :emoticon-0102-bigsm.

I really shouldn't be joking. Think his condition is not great, otherwise, why move him be helicopter? They have a fully equipped medical centre in the white house. They are saying he will be walking to the helicopter so maybe not too bad.

They are giving him an experimental drug that has not been used before. <yikes>

Reported that it's a cocktail of experimental drugs

Dettol and Domestos as he advised thousands of followers not that long ago. Besides only last week he was stating that it would simply go away. If he truly believed that why is he getting medical treatment?

The guy is a hypocrite and full of sh*t, but as a fellow human being, I wish him a speedy recovery.

Interesting comments now coming out.
Biden pulled all negative adverts.
Obama says “we are all Americans“ and need to put politics aside. Trumps son tweeted That his dad is a fighter.
Trump gets tested everyday so they are concerned that he must have deteriorated Very quickly after testing positive today.
I am also surprised the amount of support he is getting Seems that all the negative stuff comes from people outside America.

Yeah there’s no negativity about Trump in America. Everyone recognises he’s done a fine job.

It will be standard operating procedure. They have a set procedure for every eventuality.

I very much doubt whether reports of Trump having "experimental drugs" are in any way accurate.

Unless he is at deaths door and they have run out of other options, the risks of untested treatment are way too high, both medically and legally.

Apparently the conspiracy theorists are out in force on platforms that I mercifully never visit (heard it on the news) saying he hasn’t got it at all or was deliberately infected by enemies etc etc. Let’s be clear. This is a man who took pleasure in ostentatiously not taking precautions to reduce the risk of contracting the illness, and almost made it a test of loyalty and machismo for his entourage to do the same, all to appeal to the type of people would vote for him. As a man who has a lot of high risk factors, I suppose this shows that he really doesn’t think the virus is serious. Or that he has a sense that he is invulnerable to everything.

The President's health and security is at the very top of every S O P.
He will receive the very best medical care available and as you say, they'd only try something remotely risky if all other options are gone.
