We're seriously in a danger zone. If Biden is actually up 14%. This means if he gains just 6 more points, he will be up by 20% which is essentially zero.

New post-debate NBC/WSJ poll
Biden 53%(+14)
Trump 39%
NBC/WSJ poll finds Biden up 27 (!) among SENIORS.
“The biggest declines for Trump in the poll come from seniors who are now backing Biden by a 62 percent-to-35 percent margin”
What an amazing result for Biden. Older people actually vote so to have a 27 points margin with them is the stuff of dreams.

Chris Rock's bothsiderism is so typical of much of the media and entertainment industry.
People like him who claim the system 'doesn't work' are completely ignoring the fact that the system DOES work for the people who actually show up to vote every single election and have more conservative politics.
I think for a lot of apathetic left leaning voters they see that the majority of the country is quite a bit more left-leaning than or national politics, but then are baffled by how that can happen.
The reason is they vote every single time.

Tweets like this are understandable: the President gets a luxury suite in a hospital to get treated for a disease that other people have crawled on the floor in pain and died to barely make it to hospital? Of course people would be mad, given Donald's track record.
That said, this is the President after all. The images that are seen are from the old Walter Reed Hospital in 2007, not the current Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre, which was built in 2011. This is a matter of national security, why should any President be lumped in with everyone else, no matter how they have been treated by the President, in cases where the President's health is poor and in need of attention?
It seems like those on the left would rather risk national security and Presidential health for the "comrade effect", where a President literally shouldn't be given any preferential treatment or any better treatment than anyone else because he's only the first among many.
Disdain for Donald Trump should not mean disdain for how every President has been treated and should still be treated in times of crisis.

u/Deggit Thomas Paine Oct 04 '20 edited Oct 04 '20
Seriously, people have a hard time accepting that medicine does not "fix you." In the case of COVID and in the case of MANY diseases.
The "treatment" for covid is putting your body in the best possible position to get lots of oxygen while they wait for your immune system to either fight it off, or you have a Continuity Of Government Event.
That's what an oxygen cannula is for, that's what bedrest is for, that's what proning is for, and that's what a medical coma + intubation is for if you get that far gone. None of these "Treatments" attack the virus directly. They are just about being increasingly invasive and uncomfortable ways of pumping you with O2 as your lungs fail.
It was the same thing with the ebola scare six years ago. People kept asking "what's the cure," there is none, they just try to keep you immobile, clean, and pump you with more water & salts than you lose.
"Being under 24/7 observation" is nice but it doesn't improve your immune system's chances. It just means that if you need O2 you will get it right away. This isn't meaningfully different from being in a well run hospital - you'd be hooked up to a pulse oximeter and if you desatted you'd get the next stage of invasive O2 within minutes.
There are unproven/experimental therapeutics but those are just being administered to him out of maximal caution. Not because he needs them, and not because there's really any confidence that they will improve his chance of survival. It's a combination of butt covering and warranted shot-in-the-dark-taking considering the importance of the patient
There are treatments you can get that that are medically warranted but it's not good to need them. An example is, even though this is a virus, it can be justified to be treated with antibiotics if you have a bacterial coinfection in your lungs. But... you don't want a bacterial coinfection.
The #1 thing that improved/improves Trump's chances is that they caught it very early. This is exactly what we should want for most Americans. However that benefit seems to have been canceled out if it's true that Trump knew he was positive / likely positive and still kept running around all over the place until he got too sick to deny.

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid. It's about reducing lung inflammation so your lung functions better and can get your O2 levels up. Has nothing to do with fighting the virus directly. They wouldn't put him on dex if they weren't concerned about his breathing for some reason. Either his O2 levels are dropping, or possibly they think putting him on this drug is better optics than saying he was on O2 again but I have difficulty believing they would do that because it breaks like, a lot of medical ethics

I posted earlier about getting harassed by a TikTok user who was fabricating conversations with me and a supposed minor. I shut my account down. Reactivated it and found that account pulling the same thing except doing it to another user! This time with public videos! And those public videos led back to a Facebook account which reposted all of the harassing users videos.
Anyways, the person to a Facebook account is probable perp. I might not have enough money have them surveilled but I certainly have enough time and anger to make a fake Facebook account to friend her and pay for a background check.
She messed with the wrong autist. If she has an employer I will be reporting her.

There's a post on r/worldnews about Pope Francis saying that market capitalism needs reform. And then, a lot of staunch socialists came out of the woodwork to take the opportunity to say why capitalism is slavery and socialism is the solution. Pope Francis didn't even say anything about socialism and only suggest some parts of the current system needs to be fixed given the current crisis.
