I'd love to see them try this. Spring break is coming.

Trump was almost put on a respirator when sick with Covid and his oxygen levels were in the 80s:

Who are these "officials", are they doctors at Walter Reed or White House staff?

Stupid narrative writing, same as saying that the entire senate was almost slaughtered on January 6th, if not for this one police officer. Almost doesn't count, time to move on.

White House Staff, but it’s inline with those who (back in October) read the WH doctor statement between the lines where it sounded very much like Trump OxSat was indeed under 90

Also, nobody is denying it, which suggests it is true.

HIPPA regulations don't apply to a sitting president?

He has full time spokespeople like Jason Miller. He is welcome to say it isn’t true.

True or untrue, what difference does it make and why should anyone care?

Very little, just like arguments about how dishonest or despicable Obama may have been. (not saying Trump should’ve revealed the severity).

To me, I find it validating that reading between the lines in October was in fact correct. That allows me to refine my process of reading between the lines.

Americans have always been interested in medical history our presidents, and how it has often been concealed for political reasons.

Yes, when somebody doesn't deny something, it is an indication that it's true.

It isn't conclusive evidence, and it may not apply to every case, but the fundamental assumption is sound reasoning, and its' called שתיקה כהודאה.

Did BMG really cancel Purim, or did they "cancel" it for the media the same way Satmar cancelled their wedding and 21 Kislev? If the former, what suddenly changed when yeshivas and shuls and chassunos have been going full speed ahead with no restrictions for so many months?

Learning is more important than Purim?

Easier to cancel parties than a wedding someone planned, paid for and has been looking forward to for a long time

What are you getting from this that’s meaningful?

Coronaviruses are a category of viruses. When the body is infected with one, it launches an immune response which includes Coronavirus antibodies. When infected with COVID-19 (NCov-2), the immune system generates such antibodies. Since the immune system has never encountered COVID-19 before, those generic-Coronavirus antibodies are ineffective against it.

I feel like I’m missing something.
