covid diary: day 174

 Listen, I'm no expert on human behavior, but let me just say that if you are the president, and you start tweeting out of the blue about how you DIDN'T have to be rushed to Walter Reed Medical Center because you had a series of mini-strokes ... that's gonna raise some questions.

What a deeply weird preemptive denial. 

But that's how we live now, I guess? Something definitely happened. Reporting indicates that Mike Pence was kept in the area because they thought he would have to assume the presidency that day if Trump went under anesthesia. That's ... not standard procedure. And what about all the subsequent mentions of him being given cognitive tests ("man, woman, person, camera, TV")? Doctors don't just go around administering cognitive tests if they don't have any questions about the cognitive ability of the test taker.

I'm just saying. 

It keeps getting worse. How will we get through the next 63 days?

UGH.
