I don't think there will be same empathy, Trump has been downplaying it so if he gets very ill then it proves he was wrong but if he gets through it easily then it proves he was right.

So it's either a big win or a big lose for him

I'll be backing him Sunday morning if his symptoms aren't bad
At what price?
With all MSM bashing him I'm sure he will keep above 3.0
I laid at 2.76 today before the halt. I think you're right that he'll be above 3 on Sunday.

In this post truth world, there are going to be more theories (conspiracy and otherwise) than the JFK magic bullet, everything from he deliberately infected himself through to Russian plots to Biden at the debate to [use own imagination from here on ....]

Yes Smarkets now halted, Betdaq still open.

Current prices:

Biden.... 1.57/1.58

Trump... 3.05/3.1

Pence.... 34/ 39

Thanks. Trump... 3.05/3.1 seems low to me given that he was 2.5 before catching a deadly virus, but I don't know anything. I only took $800 at 2.76, on the theory that there was a good chance he'd test positive, so I'll trade out whenever the markets open, at whatever price.

I don't see any particular reason to halt as the rules are fairly clearly laid out. Pence steps in if the president can't perform official duties. Similar story for Biden.

For sure, imagine the aspirated particles from Trump at the debate.

Of course, maybe its the other way around, Biden aspirated the particles and Trump imbibed.

The entire electoral system in the US needs to be tested, it's obviously completely unhinged.

ABC News sent a reporter to Biden's place of residence for his views on the crisis caught him having an all-night party with 50 guests. :lol:
