Trump getting diagnosed with coronavirus has added yet another chaotic element to what has already been a chaotic year. 成人X站 Radio’s John Curley noticed that it has many people trying to gage his chances of survival, but survival rates are high, even at his age.
鈥淪o people are trying to do the old, 鈥楲et’s see, he’s close to obese. He’s 260-some pounds. He’s 6’3″, so that puts him in the body mass index鈥� — and so people trying to run the numbers on this thing,鈥� Curley said. 鈥淏ut there鈥檚 a 96% chance he gets over it.鈥�

Curley also mentioned that he couldn鈥檛 help but notice that many people on the left on Twitter seem to be rooting for the president to not make it, but co-host Tom Tangney says we shouldn鈥檛 take anything on Twitter too seriously.
鈥淚鈥檓 on the left, I don鈥檛 —聽 I wouldn’t take anything anybody says on social media seriously,” Tangney said. “It’s not a reflection of our best selves, and I don’t think it’s a reflection of our normal selves.”
“Nobody really knows how this particular virus is going to attack an individual,” he added. “We can only deal in big groups of people. I can’t even entertain that something really serious is going to happen to him, as seriously as like Boris Johnson. Even given the demographics, he is getting the absolute best kind of care ever.”
