Whenever I see Trump goofing around about COVID during his rallies...

...I always think of the National Health nurse in her fifties featured on a BBC documentary going behind the scenes showing the battle against this ghastly virus.

Ventilated by tube for several weeks, her throat became ulcerated and the breathing tube lodged inside her throat, necessitating surgery to have the tube removed. We saw a camera tracking down her throat and it looked like a nightmarish scene that only someone like H.R. Giger could have dreamt up. Thankfully, after several weeks in intensive care, she was allowed to go home, an emotional round of applause making her departure from hospital. I doubt if she thought what she endured was a "gift from God".

Trump got off incredibly lightly.

Its giving him an issue at his coronarallies. He's certainly capable of that.

his 15-week battle to survive in the hospital. I absolutely hate Trump.
