In a honest moment who would have bet both Christie and Trump would have done so well against Covid. The real question is why is that so surprising.
If, as is being reported, Chris Christie spent 7 days in the ICU he didn't do that well at all.
In March, it would have been much worse.

Yes, the big improvements in treating this are very welcome, but there still seems to be a tendency to downplay the danger.
I hope Christie doesn't suffer any long term effects.

Notice the only two people in this photo wearing masks are people who actually know what it means to follow instructions.
They're most likely the two healthiest ones there, too.

Reckless towards their campaign staff, the security personnel, and their own supporters. Wonder if there will civil law suits after the election coming out of all these campaign events that flout public health guidelines.

Matt Gaetz
UPDATE: he says he DOES NOT have covid, but that he tested positive for the antibodies. Said he has "no clue" when he might have had it, but never had symptoms.

Chuck Grassley.
Isn't he about 80 years old?
80 years old is very high risk to contract COVID-19. Do you think Sen. Grassley can get close to the same standard of care previously given to Trump for his COVID-19 infection?

Grassley is in his mid-80's.
