I'm hearing rumors that Trump is refusing to participate if it's virtual, so the debate might be off now? That would be a win for everybody

So.... Millions of Americans have been forced to work remotely for 6 months because our response to the virus has been handled so awfully. (Those of us that still have jobs)

But he's refusing to work remotely for 2 hours?

Doing the debate remotely means a visual admission that "hey, this COVID thing is bad and dangerous", which flies in the face of everything Trump has done to try and downplay its dangers (up to and including GETTING THE VIRUS HIMSELF).

Okay, finally got a source on this (which I thought I had read previously): steroids likely extend how long Trump is contagious, as does the fact that his case was severe:

https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1314189717840297987

Bottom line: no way in hell would it be appropriate for Trump to be doing an in person debate or a fucking rally on Thursday.

I think he also pulled the NDA shit on WH employees (which is completely absurd; they work for the US government, not for him)
IIRC they're not legally enforceable because of this.

I'm still worried about the votes being counted. Trump and the rest of the party have shown that there's basically nothing they won't do to make sure they win. I fully expect they're going to attempt to do some kind of rigging beyond what they're already openly doing.

All he needs to do is win Pennsylvania, which he has a good shot of doing still. I know the polls look good at the moment but I just have this nagging feeling something bad is going to happen.

Trump's still gonna win y'all, thanks to a perfect storm of electoral college nonsense, mail-in voting accidents, and the Dems not nominating an exciting candidate. Nothing matters as long as Republicans have a stranglehold of the Evangelical vote and Dems fail to get young people to the polls.

By "he", you mean Trump? Because that's a bit off. Trump can't win without Pennsylvania, but it wouldn't be that crazy for Biden to win without it as long as he does get Michigan and Wisconsin.

If you change no other results from 2016 and give Biden Michigan and Wisconsin, Trump wins. What other state is going to flip if not PA?

Not as much at this stage. The worst I remember was the whole Hollywood Access tape thing. Plus Biden hasn't been involved in too many controversies of his own compared to you-know-who.

Trump himself is also just giving off a vibe of defeat that he didn't four years ago. For all I know he probably doesn't even care to get better.

538 currently has Biden ahead in Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, and Ohio.

I'd argue the larger senior population of Florida and how that demographic responds to Trump's handling of the pandemic could provide a reasonable explanation for why Florida might flip when Pennsylvania wouldn't, even aside from just effectively random variation in close races which I'm not sure we can discount.

Also if you assume there is a uniform nationwide shift towards the Democrats since 2016 but that Trump disproportionately holds on to Pennsylvania because of deliberate or accidental suppression of mail-in votes, then it would also make sense for Biden to flip some of those other states but not necessarily Pennsylvania.
