Might seem a bit tinfoily, but the timing is pretty convenient. His taxes came out earlier this week, then that trainwreck of a debate happened. Suddenly there's going to be 24/7 Trump Covid watch on the news.

It was caught early and he has access to the best medical care available. In two weeks time he's going to be around saying 'see, I was right, covid is no big deal'

maybe, but there is no cure, if he so happens to get it bad.
he's deffo in the overweight and old high risk categories and morality rate are much higher than 1%.
Even if he doesn't die, there is a high risk he would medium to long term complications

Although it might be convenient in some ways, he thrives on rallies, personal contact and raucous 'debates'.
Personally like to see how he would deal with isolation, left alone with his own thoughts.

The 'grey rock' treatment can work well with theses sorts of abusers.

Yes, and the timing would probably be about right to ride a brief popularity boost (like Johnson got) to the election. A week or so for "minor symptoms" to develop into a life threatening illness, a couple of weeks where things are touch and go, and the world hangs on his every move, leaving just enough time to bravely struggle back to work and a hero's welcome...
There will be a significant number of "hopes and prayers" people who will see it as an automatic duty to vote for a sick president, rather than "kicking him when he is down". Every day US politics becomes more outlandish. I think Trump would literally do anything to get re-elected now.
