The probabilities dictate that this will be one of the huge majority of cases that is fundamentally a non-event. Though Trump is old, he has the best healthcare possible, and even in older people cases caught early are quite responsive to treatment.

Sadly, although this is a perfect high-visibility example to demonstrate what many of us are saying - i.e. this bug is very contagious but not as lethal as advertised - the news will not say that. Instead, we are now in for weeks of "Told you so! See how dangerous it is!"

Our reaction to this bug frustrates the hell out of me.
