This is off-topic, but I am concerned about Lloyd Austin. The story makes no sense. Prostate cancer is not an emergency procedure. It's scheduled well in advance. It isn't rushed. And it is something that many famous men have gone through, including two Secretaries of States: Colin Powell and John Kerry. It's so common that I can't imagine why anyone would seek to hide it. The idea that the Defense Secretary would try to sneak it; to go through it without even informing the President is inconceivable. And afterwards, it would take very little time before the patient is functional and responsive. Here is Ronald Reagan in the hospital right after his abdominal surgery after being shot. So, why not a comparable image of Lloyd Austin for what was, in comparison, a routine procedure? 


So, besides inexpicably sneaking and hiding his prostate cancer surgery, even though he is second only to the President in the military hierarchy, Lloyd Austin was unfortunate enough to be in the 2 to 4 percent of men who developed surgical site infection, which required hospitalization. But now, he is home from that, presumably on the mend, yet there is still no image of him like this? If he was well enough to go home, he is well enough to appear in a bath robe, if only to prove that he's alive. There is nothing credible about this whole situation.
