Fair point, although one could argue that the president's age and physical condition put him in more of a high risk category.
well than based on the CDC numbers:
0-19 years: 0.00003
20-49 years: 0.0002
50-69 years: 0.005
70+ years: 0.054
He has a stunning 99.946% chance of surviving... as opposed to a 99.995% chance of surviving if he were a little younger.

Percent that die among those hospitalized. Includes both non-ICU and ICU admissions††
18-49 years: 2.4%
50-64 years: 10.0%
≥65 years: 26.6%

Do you even know what DEFCOM-sorry DEFCON-means?
its a conjunction of defence confidence, here's the layman's explanation.
DEFCON 5- everything is a OK.
DEFCON 4- yeah there's a bit of strife but not to worry too much.
DEFCON 3-Okay this isn't looking good
DEFCON 2- okay the s might hit the fan.
DEFCON 1-thes s has hit the fan.
The last time the US was in the DEFCON 2 as I recall was in the cuban missile crisis in the sixties, and the last time i checked-they may DEFCON 2 is 'prepare for nuclear war' so I really don't think we need to prepare for the next bay of pigs because Trump has the sniffles.
It's surprising how many people use DEFCON in a quote without knowing nothing about how it works.

If he drops dead the Constitution has a succession plan, we just follow that and not run around like our hair is on fire.

Harharhar!! Ol' Augustus, always joking!
I predict hair-on-fire mode for atleast 80% of the population should it come to pass.
How? Around 55% would be happy.
