Does DJT have the covid? Will he survive? What are the implications?
I think it is the circus before the election, but can go out of control easily if not handled properly. Let's see how it goes.
It is not the issue that he got the virus when it is not dangerous as he himself said many times. He may silently take Hydrochloroquine and will say he is back and promote vaccine.
"Sympathy Vote" can be a big thing, which is the case in countries like India. He may talk about vaccines, pose as a strong leader, until the election results are declared and may probably flip the stance after that. But, he may go down the path ( of vaccine promotion) probably that is not reversible, which is a very bad news for the most of the people. Headless Democrats are much worse. This is all standard politics in any country.
There are lot of other leaders who did gave credibility to COVID scheme just out of political necessity - Putin, Modi and so on. Bolsonaro and Belarusian leader who denied faced enough problems at home. The biggest problem is Majority of the population bought it as if this one issue divides the Wheat from Chaff.
In the case of India, Modi's popularity is all time high after 4 months lockdown (actually, it is limited lockdown as they have scaled down markets open for 4 or 5 hrs in the morning) of the country where 300 million people live a hand to mouth, day to day existence - only 5% opposed him, 17% said average and all the
remaining 78% good or very good. Whatever the exotic technology 3D STS/4D STS rulers used for brainwashing the populace, it worked well for them.
Probably there is nothing we can do except "sit back and watch the show".
