#1 I believe he has been taking Hydroxychloroquine in the past but some studies say it does not prevent Covid19.

#2 /\ You just beat me to it...was gonna mention that. Of course, some studies say it does.

Trump is probably the most tested person on the planet. He'll be fine. I'm waiting for Joey to "come down" with COVID-19 so there won't be any more debates.

#3 Biden can now insist the debate be cancelled to prevent Trump from exposing him (to the virus...)

#4 This will help Trump.

First, he is a man of strong will, tremendous energy and self-confidence. He will likely recover quickly and emerge from quarantine on October 16 even more determined and energetic than he was before.

Second, the idiotic debates are finished. The first debate did Trump no favors; he's better off without them.

Third, there is no way now that the Democrats will allow Biden out of his basement. They were terrified of exposing this frail muppet to the rigors of the campaign before this, and now his advisors will say there's no need to counter Trump while he's quarantined.

Finally, watching Trump and his tough-minded, gorgeous, elegant wife beat this will finally signal to the nation that it's past time to end the lockdowns and get back to normal. Godspeed.

#7 HCQ is thought to greatly reduce the severity of COVID symptoms if introduced early. If, as suspected that he's been taking it, then he will enjoy those benefits Also, he is in great health - no major underlying conditions I'm aware of. The Donald and Melania should beat this in great fashion and just in time for the election, and the nation I believe will take its cue from this.

#10 Supposedly they might have got it from hugging Hope Hicks.

I'd take that chance just to hug her, too.

#12 yes, i doubt this is going to play out the way the leftists are hoping.

at every chance they have underestimated Trump, who otherwise seems to thrive on adversity and challenge.

#14 If an old man like Trump comes out of this without a problem it goes a long way towards saying the Virus is mostly hype.

#16 I heard from some people in Israel that prayers for President Trump are being said at many venues before the festival that begins in a few hours.

#17 From American Thinker:

Now that Trump is being quarantined, what comes next?

When the head of the most important country in the world is diagnosed with an illness that requires him to be quarantined, that's a problem. When that diagnosis comes a month before the most fiercely contested and important election in our lifetime, the anxiety level of people in the Trump White House must be stratospheric. Thankfully, the Trump team is hip-deep in talented people who can travel throughout the country as President Trump's surrogates now that he's been diagnosed with the Wuhan virus and must quarantine.

Additionally, if Trump is affected only lightly, there's no reason why he cannot appear on a video at each rally. Even if he's not there in person, the crowd will respond enthusiastically to having Trump speak directly to them. We know from the Republican National Convention that the Republicans have talented videographers who know how to create a personal immediacy from a video presentation.

There are also people such as Mike Cernovich who believe that Trump will prove to be a role model for a good Wuhan virus recovery. When the disease first appeared, doctors were playing whack-a-mole to treat the various symptoms. Now that doctors have a better handle on the disease, they have a better sense about the hemorrhagic problems, the inflammation, and the interplay of things that benefit the immune system (e.g., Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and zinc), and medicines that treat the underlying virus (e.g., Remdesivr and hydroxychloroquine). Trump's orange-man suntan, which implies that his body has a high Vitamin D level, might be part of what gets him over the illness very quickly.

#18 Additionally, if Trump is affected only lightly, there's no reason why he cannot appear on a video at each rally.

That seems to be the plan.
The White House physician said the president is expected to continue carrying out his duties “without disruption” while recovering. A White House official said Friday morning that the president was experiencing mild symptoms but was working from the White House residence.

Melania Trump tweeted that she also experiencing mild symptoms but was "overall feeling good."

#20 I wonder what kind of a person thinks that the treatment available to POTUS is comparable to the treatment available to an average patient in the average hospital.

#22 The kind of person who thinks that every defeat of this virus adds to the knowledge of a general defeat of the china flu?

#24 I understand he is at Walter Reed now. Just a precaution.

#25 Hydroxychloroquine was never claimed to PREVENT infection, just reduce the severity and lower the mortality rate as a treatment. Which it did in many cases.

Dont let them move the goalposts like this.
