Should DU start a pool as to when trump will suffer a relapse? [View all]

trump wants to have events every day between now and the election. trump's staff is worried about trump being able to keep this schedule



COVID can last for months and trump could only speak for 18 minutes on Saturday. Relapses are common https://www.vox.com/2020/6/4/21274727/covid-19-symptoms-timeline-nausea-relapse-long-term-effects See also https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/10/06/fauci-warns-trump-relapse-president-downplays-coronavirus-death-toll/3634631001/
Anthony Fauci, an expert on infectious diseases who has exhorted the nation for months to wear masks and maintain social distance, told CNN that although it's unlikely, Trump could face "a reversal – meaning going in the wrong direction and get into trouble."

A White House-themed online gift shop may be offering $100 "Trump Beat COVID" commemorative coins too soon. The danger window can easily stretch to 10 days, said Mangala Narasimhan, an intensive care physician in New Hyde Park, New York.

"Saying that he beat COVID now is extremely premature, especially for someone his age," Narasimhan told USA TODAY on Tuesday. "He is not out of the woods yet.

Is it bad form to start a pool on when trump will either have to go back to Walter Reed or take time off the road? I personally believe that it is only a matter ot time before there is a relapse. Is it inappropriate to start a pool on this?

I will take Friday, October 16
