Yikes. I wish him well. 87 is a rough age to get the WuFlu.
Liberals, try to stay classy. Try.

Crap, I hate to hear it. Hope he gets the kind of treatment trump got and wish him luck. Strange virus. How it hits you, if it hits you, does seem like a matter of luck.
That's an appearance thing...almost everyone is going to get the virus..but at least half won't know it. All about your immune system and the state of your lungs..seems to me.
heavy ciggie smokers and heavy pot smokers are hit harder than people who don't indulge.
BTW...I like Grassley--he's not missed a vote since 1933! Now that's doing the job!
Actually, you would consider me a heavy ciggarette smoker and I tried a couple of hits off a joint while it was ramping up. Eh.., don't do that, especially if you live at 230 ft and come down with it while staying between 9,000 and 10,000 feet. I was in a free man state. For me it was like a bad damn flu, but you would also say I am in pretty good shape for my age. Funny thing about cigarrette smokers and covid, smokers being t 20 to 25% in world population, but only represented 10 to 12% of covid hospitalizations. The article I read a couple of months ago speculated (as not investigated or proven, simply noted as a statistical anomaly) that smokers lungs may be somewhat coated with tars, nicotine residues and metabolites that may be a poor growth medium for the virus to rapidly multiply in. Maybe as a smoker, I screwed up in reverse this time?
