        Trump is suffering from a severe illness that he is absolutely responsible for contracting because he refused to take the pandemic seriously. He’s continuing to not take it seriously because he has to appeal to his base, which puts him in greater danger and will only increase his suffering. His inner-circle hates him for putting them in physical danger. It’s already good. We’re just waiting on even better news.

          He was always bound to catch it eventually. He got lucky for months somehow avoiding it despite not wearing a mask and not taking it seriously whatsoever.

          I wouldn't be surprised if his inner-circle is hoping he dies after all this. Not only did he put them in danger, his ego is too big for him to admit "hey, I was wrong, we need to take this seriously", which explains the tweets in this screenshot of him still downplaying it.

      I’d say it’s 50/50 right now if he’ll survive or not. But even if he does survive he’s going to have some nasty lung scarring.

        Like I said, they injected literal antibodies into him. This is something that even normal rich people don't usually get. He's not going to die, and probably won't even have any lasting effects that other 80 year old presidents didn't have.

            All antibodies mean is his immune system can recognize and react to the virus, that doesn’t mean his mickey D’s fueled immune cells are up to the task

            Yes, I can almost guarantee you they are.

            Immunosenescence is almost ENTIRELY about the loss of a flexible adaptive immune system, losing the ability to make fine tuned antibodies that fit viral antigens perfectly, these are mostly B cells and CD4 T cells, thymal age atrophy is a big part of the latter (CD8 cytoxic T cells are almost always fine)

            Literally everybody (excepting a few genetic conditions) have normal levels of these "blast them away" type immune cells that you're imagining. Neutrophils and macrophages.

            He’ll probably live, but with no effects?

            As for the effects it depends on how much damage has been done already. The very likely scenario is that he will suffer no damage from here on out.
