How Much Is Trump At Risk For Catching The Coronavirus?.....

He travels. He's exposed to other people in his administration and family that travel. He spends time amongst the people at Mar-A-Lago. He holds his rallies with his supporters. I hear he gets a lot of his meals from fast food places where workers put his food together.

He's a germaphobe. I'm wondering if he's had people at the WH tested for the virus - just to know that they are free from it.

Maybe he'll be so frightened that he'll catch it - that he'll quarantine himself in the WH.

Not to mention he doesn't seem to be very healthy or fit.

Nobody that's within 6 feet of him or his food has an increased temp or has been anywhere they could be exposed.

He won't touch his face. So he is being mothered. Hand shakes are probably off limits also. Someone has hand gel at the ready 24x7.

He has every risk factor identified. Over 70 has a 15% mortality rate among healthy seniors. Then it just keeps increasing with obesity, heart disease, pulmonary dysfunction, etc.

Mean time from first symptoms to mortality is 2 weeks, but the min is more like 4 days. He would be gone over a long weekend.

They are going to take every precaution, regardless of cost. His kitchen probably looks like a bio-lab containment area.

If he does catch it, I doubt very much he will be able to fight it off.

On one hand, he has access to the best health care in the world, but even that is no guarantee. He already seems to have underlying respiratory issues and that will put him at a disadvantage. He can barely walk 10 yards without getting winded.

I'd have to think he's in more danger than most of us peons.

Remember, senators, when you kiss Rump's rump you're also kissing everybody else who's kissed Rump's rump. Think about it.
