Man proposes and God disposes. What next? The death of Ruth Ginsberg was a total eye opener. What astonishing times we live in. The President is over 70 and very fat which puts him at very high risk. Poor man prayers for all at the White House. Wouldn't it be even more strange if Joe Biden came down with this as well? Where would that leave us? He is even more High Risk...and of course Pope Francis is equally high risk. It all reminds me of the words of Jesus and planning for tomorrow. Luke 12:20 The Parable of the Rich Fool …19Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!” ’ 20But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated? 21This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”… Events in the world at the moment are like being on a high speed train with no driver. What next?
Yes. What next. Your analogy is apt. I called it a runaway train a few dsys ago. Screeching and hurtling through a dark tunnel. That was before the news of DJT. Praying St Patrick's breastplate for him.
Padraig: "Events in the world at the moment are like being on a high speed train with no driver." Yes. As I mentioned elsewhere, what if Biden also?? Not wishing it on him, but this could get REALLY crazy.
I see the BBC is saying with his age and body mass index that they give him a one in four chance, statistically, of dying poor man. Offering up Mass tonight for himself, his family and all at the White House. Even apart from anything else getting the bug will not be easy. As for Joe I too hope he is sincere, better to think the best of him. Poor Joe I don't think the virus would do him any favours either. As things are going I would say we should all assume we'll get smitten at some stage or other. Joe Biden included, basement or no basement, big mask or no big mask. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54375217
I do wonder if the President caught this thing by accident. Given the bio security arrangements it seems very, very unlikely.
Padraig - that is fake news from the BBC. Trump will not die from Covid. The Covid figures are manipulated. Only 100 people in Ireland in the whole of 2020 died officially from Covid.
Just listened to Father Rippergers latest talk on fear. Father, who has a doctorate in psychology, says we're being brainwashed about the dangers of covid by the media. That said, hopefully what Trump has is only covid and not something added to it to do him in. Keep praying.
They certainly had ample time to set up the touch points in the debate studio for Trumps arrival. Possibly even ventilation to rooms they would be in. Trump will be fine, and good news, stronger immunity.
But, Trump is a dynamo, he doesn't stop and loves to be around people, so he increases the chances of getting this. And remember it could have been brought to his inner circle by a close relative without knowing. But, I believe that Our Lord has chosen him for our time, and this may be His way to slow down Trump for a short rest. But let's all pray for him and his wife.
Everything hangs in the balance now, can you imagine the hosts of angels now doing battle all around us and all around the world, particularly in the US. All I feel I can and should try and do now is pray and pray.
I posted well wishes this morning for Pres. Trump and his wife on my FB page and I immediately got a hateful response from someone I know. So disappointing.
How uncharitable. Regardless of political allegiance all should wish this couple well during this frightening time
What a shame. There are some who are actually gleeful that the President and First Lady tested positive. Very disturbing.
