6. As other DUers have noted, Trump is looking increasingly frail. He's under constant

stress (of his own making) and has aged considerably, suffered cognitive decline, and there have been rumors (along with visual circumstantial evidence) he's used and abused various substances, so it's natural to wonder how his immune system would respond to a significant challenge.

Even if he doesn't get COVID-19, given his performance at that Rose Garden campaign event two weeks ago, it's realistic to wonder if he can hold out until November.
