TRUMP'S COVID ..... A LESSON FOR OBSTINATE BLOCKHEADS

QAnon's campaign against wearing face masks is working, but with disastrous results

By Howie Katz

President Trump has come down with COVID-19 and there are conflicting reports on how serious his condition is.  Melania and several White House staffers have now tested positive as well.  Furthermore, a significant number of those who attended the Rose Garden ceremony when Trump announced his Supreme Court nominee have also come down with COVID-19, including Chris Christie and several Republican senators.   

Trumps reluctance to wear a face mask and his refusal to warn attendees at his campaign rallies to wear face masks has led to a significant spike in COVID-19 cases.  In Miami where people are partying and going to crowded bars maskless, corona cases are are going up at an alarming rate.  And colleges closed as quickly as they opened when COVID broke out on campuses because students partied without wearing masks.    

QAnon's campaign against wearing face masks is working, but with disastrous results.  The QAnon conspiracy, Info Wars and other conspiracies have unleashed a swarm of obstinate blockheads who not only refuse to wear face masks, but verbally and even physically attack anyone who insists they wear masks.

Masks may or many not prevent the wearer from catching corona, but the scientific community agrees that masks keep others from getting the virus and thus masks and social distancing are critical to ending the pandemic.

Every American should pray for President Trump's speedy and complete recovery. Shame, shame on the thousands of Twitter users who have been tweeting they are glad Trump caught COVID-19 or who wished he would die.  A curse on those worthless pieces of shit.

One encouraging sign is the video address Trump made to the nation Saturday from Walter Reed Hospital.  Here is what the President said:

I want to begin by thanking all of the incredible medical professionals, the doctors, the nurses, everybody at Walter Reed Medical Center - I think it’s the finest in the world - for the incredible job they’ve been doing. 

I came here, I wasn’t feeling so well, I feel much better now. We’re working hard to get me back. I have to get all the way back because we still have to make America great again.

We’ve done an awfully good job of that but we still have steps to go and I have to finish that job. I’ll be back, I think, I'll be back soon and I look forward to finishing up the campaign the way it was started, the way we’ve been doing and the kind of numbers we’ve been doing.    

We’ve been so proud of it but this was something that’s happened and it was something that happened to millions of people all over the world and I’ve been fighting for them, not just in the US, I'm fighting for them all over the world. 

We're going to beat the coronavirus or whatever you want to call it and we’re going to beat it soundly. 

So many things are happening, if you look at the therapeutics which I’m taking right now some of them and others that are coming out soon that are looking like, frankly they’re miracles, if you want to know the truth. People criticize me when I say that but we have things happening that look like they’re miracles coming down from God so I just want to tell you that I’m starting to feel good.  

I don’t know the next period of a few days, I guess. that’s the real test so we’ll be seeing what happened over those next couple of days

I just want to be thankful for all the support I’ve seen whether it’s on television, reading about it, most of all I appreciate what’s been said by the American people almost a bipartisan consensus, by the American people. It’s a beautiful thing to see, and I very much appreciate it and I won’t forget it

I also want to thank the leaders of the world for their condolences and they know what we're going through. They know what your leader is and what I have to go through. 

But I had no choice because I just didn't want to stay in the White House. I was given that alternative: stay in the White House, lock yourself in, don't ever leave, don't even go to the Oval Office, just stay upstairs and enjoy it. Don't see people, don't talk to people, and just be done with it and I can't do that, I had to be out front and this is America, this is the United States, the greatest country in the world. This is the most powerful country in the world. I can't be locked up in a room upstairs and totally safe and just say 'Hey, whatever happens, happens'. I can't do that.

We have to confront problems. As a leader, you have to confront problems. There's never been a great leader that would have done that. 

So that's where it is. I'm doing well, I want to thank everybody. Our first lady is doing very well. Melania asked me to say something as to the respect she has for our country, the love that she has for our country. And we are both doing well. 

Melania is really handling it very nicely as you've probably read, she is slightly younger than me just a little tiny bit.

And therefore, we know the disease, we know the situation with age versus younger people and Melania is handling it statistically like it's supposed to be handled and that makes me very happy and it makes the country very happy but I'm also doing well and I think we're gonna have a very good result. 

Again, over the next few days we're gonna probably know for sure so I just want to thank everybody out there, everybody all over the world, specifically the United States - the outpouring of love has been incredible. I will never forget. Thank you very much.

God Bless President Trump and God bless America!  And shame on the conspiracy mongers like QAnon and on all of you obstinate anti-mask blockheads.
