Do we ? I don't think thee is much sympathy going round anywhere right now. Well, not in the circles I move in anyway...

Similar with me.

In Britain we have such a concept as a 'sympathy vote'

I wish Trump well too but I hope he loses the election.

Well, you would, you support the left, so the old washed up Biden is for you.

I get that being a non-believer you disagree with him, but it does not make him nonsensical. I was having dinner with a friend today who suggested Pence was "dangerous", however, my friend is also an agnostic so I expect he thinks as you do.

I wish Trump well and hope he goes on to win the election.

In Britain we have such a concept as a 'sympathy vote' but I'm not sure the same is true in the USA. Trump has said he's got no time for losers, even if they're America's war dead. Will this sentiment backfire on a sick presidential candidate if he becomes more ill?

Apparently the president can't cancel or postpone the election, only congress can do that. And if there's no election Trump would cease to be president in January anyway.

The funny thing here is if Trump has a bad dose (or worse ) we end up with Mike Pence as President . This is the guy apart from being VP that leads the White house coronavirus task force .

Donald Trump and Melania have tested positive to Covid and this near to the Presidential elections it might seem like a twist in a long running saga for TV. Anyway my interest is not so much the election as the effect on Trump and possibly us and perhaps the world.

Thus far Trump in his wisdom - or should that be lack of - has bounced around telling anyone who would listen that it was nothing to worry about, it was Chinese flu and has more or less ignored what has been happening to people. He is the wrong age and shape to take it lightly but there is a chance he will bounce out the other side as good as new. Or will he? Of course he may well have shared this gift with Biden who is also the wrong age to cope well.

We too, at a very difficult time in our history can see that the man who arrived at No 10 before Christmas is not the rather dour chap currently looking a little lost much of the time, while questions are increasing about his demeanour. The question I have is how will the US cope if they are confronted in some weeks time with a new President who is no longer bouncing? I guess that could be Biden or Trump. More than that will the 'special relationship' survive while neither leader is bouncing along on a wave of national euphoria?

I'm waiting for "Occupy Democrats" to put up a meme thanking god for answering their prayers and can he make sure there's no spare working ventilators in the presidential ICU ...
