Karma - or is it?

 We learned yesterday night that Trump has covid-19. 

Is this karma? After eight months of "hoping it will just magically go away", "it's no worse that a mild flu" and a lot of posturing during which over two hundred thousand people died from the disease, are his chickens coming home to roost?

In the flurry of commentaries since the announcement and given has has been trailing Biden the polls for weeks, it has been suggested that this makes his reelection even more unlikely. But there's another possible ending to this story. 

Unlike Boris Johnson, he may suffer only very mild symptoms. If that proves to be the case, he will trumpet loudly that he was right all along, that it was nothing to worry about, that those who died did so not from covid but because of their other health issues; he is living breathing testimony to that. 

To many, that will make him no only a hero who personally vanquished the disease, but make it seem as if he'd be right about how mild it was all along. That could easily put him back in the White House for another term.
