Setting aside my wishes for the speediest return to health for POTUS, FLOTUS and everyone else involved, I share everyone's anxiety about how this will be covered. I fully expect both sides to spin it a particular way and for their favored media outlets and social media to shill for them--all with an eye towards Nov 3.
What we don't know is how the virus will run its course. It is simply too unpredictable. My wife and I contracted Covid at roughly the same time. She was symptom free within 72 hours. My symptoms started out mild. I described it at first, as a very mild flu. Things slowly worsened over a 7-9 day period with persistent high fever, exhaustion and several nights of night sweats (trust me, they're disgusting). After peaking, the symptoms gradually receded leaving me symptom free after another 7 days.
I simply can't imagine how even the best, most honest news outfits would cover the President's condition if it were to progress as did mine. Love him or hate him, people will want to know about his recovery. What are the questions which will be asked about the President's treatment? Do I or my sick parent have access to the same diagnostics and treatments as the President? What's his blood O2 count? Is he taking Hydroxychloroquine? Is he receiving convalescent plasma? What do we even have a right to know?
