We couldn't gather in groups to celebrate.

I can see it now. It would be, "Fuck it. We will find something to shove down his throat it anyhow."
Sweet peace and quiet would follow.

I'm not a believer in the occult, but if I was, I'd pray for his continued health...until after the investigations, indictments, charges, trials, and sentencing.

The world economy would accelerate it's freefall into the next Great Depression.
Chaos would abound.

(4,448 posts)It will just be a party in the street and we will draw straws to see who is President.
Moments later the cure for COVID19 will be announced. Much rejoicing will follow and then we'll all ride our unicorns home or to work at our 6 figures jobs.
That's all sarcasm of course.
Bottom line is that I'ver never seen a country yet get stronger immediately after it's leader dies. Civil war is the most common result, but chaos always does.
Even when everything is going extremely well, the death of a country leader usually means a turnround point. Things aren't going well right now.

Speculation... Rumor... Whatever ...they wouldn't tell us anyway
Maybe they gave him chloroquine and now he thinks it's the answer.
