I keep clicking to and clicking away from this page. My brain can't process my thoughts on this... but I can't seem to focus on work either, so I'll try to barf out the random thoughts and maybe that will help.

- it's a hoax - he gets better and says "see? it's not so bad" or "see? Hydroxychloroquine works!"

- it's real - he's asymptomatic and says "see? it's not so bad" or "see? Hydroxychloroquine works!"

- he gets super sick but recovers - get gets a lot of sympathy votes

- he gets sick and dies - this could RALLY the base... but I don't think it's enough to beat Biden

- part of me wants to say I hope he dies... but that feels harsh. I seldom wish death on anyone, even this person.

- I want to take the high road... but it feels better to wish he gets really, really sick.

- Is this some form of karma?

- I think I'm most worried about him being just fine and carrying on. that will completely obliterate the pandemic response in this country.

sorry for the brain barf.
