You do know other respiratory coronaviruses almost like this one have existed for a long time. Most people get over them without problem.
Yeah they get over them without problems precisely BECAUSE those viruses have existed for a long time, and thus have become "endemic" in the population. The same thing will happen with SARS-CoV2 within the next decade for sure, but that doesn't help us much RIGHT NOW.
They can still hold the debates. It's highly likely they will maintain the debates as scheduled. The next POTUS debate is two weeks out and that is likely enough time for Trump to recover. To lower the risk of (re-)infection the debates can be held remotely, Trump and Biden can go to separate television studios or something and have a debate like many other televised debates we've seen among people in distant locations. The inherent delay in long distance communications can make things a bit more awkward but that might be beneficial to limit the back and forth bickering we saw in the last debate.
Well, I'll just say this: Until yesterday Trump publicly announced that he was totally opposed to even a minor change of the debating rules -- namely, the possibility for the moderator to turn off each candidate's microphone in case they interrupted the other guy or exceeded their time budget. And now all of a sudden Biden is supposed to accept a remote debate where nobody can even control what each candidate is doing or who is helping him off-camera?
Not only Fox. Haven't heard from the president. He hasn't visited the areas or even flown over.
So this situation is another casualty of the electoral college.
2nd quarter 2020 GDP percentage changes from quarter before: NZL -1.6
That's only because sheep don't get Covid.

"maybe, but that doesn't mean every type of communication they choose to engage in needs to be accessible to the public."
Yeah but the type of communication where they announce laws, policies and executive orders to the public needs to be.
It's Monday now, the site still works.
It's almost like President Trump is lying and bullsh*tting whenever he says anything.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
