He's "not mobile or particularly talkative" according to the NYT report, so not really.

There's no need to shoot the messenger. I've cited two highly reliable sources, in the Washington Post and the Associated Press, for what I've been saying about Carter's health. I've said I'm going to try and clarify the situation with the New York Times, and I'll report back when they respond. I'm just stating my own opinion based on the reports I've seen, at least two of which independently state that he has a terminal illness.

He is terminally ill, just with what it's not absolutely certain, though I still think it's probably cancer.

He's effectively already hospitalised but at home.

This is all new information. So what we know now is that, on top of being bedridden, confused, and lonely, he doesn't eat or drink normally and is generally uncommunicative. How they can spin this as him being "fine" would make even the likes of Alastair Campbell blush.

Defying the odds: Jimmy Carter nearly 1 year into hospice care

This is perhaps the most important bit to draw from the article.

Not necessarily. Both the Washington Post and the Associated Press independently reported it, so there must be something going on. I'll contact the New York Times and let them know, and I'll post their response when they get back to me.

He could barely speak in this video from 2021, so it's most likely now an even greater struggle for him to string a sentence together.

Jimmy Carter, one year after entering home hospice, remains resilient TL;DR: Jimmy is asking for prayers, bedridden, confused, fighting for life and lonely.

Jimmy Carter 1 year since hospice update | Family statement

His first Valentine's Day without Rosalynn since the end of World War II.

Link, emphasis mine. This would explain a lot given his condition described by The Washington Post and the AP.

Sorry, I was a bit emotional following yesterday's news. I've removed the reaction.

Not Beckenbauer?

Fair enough lol. I'll probably be deluged by hundreds of email updates when it finally happens.

This actually has some precedent in recent presidential history. George Bush Senior died seven months after Barbara, and June would mark seven months after Rosalynn died.

First the one he loves most, then the thing he hates most...

Still an interesting story nonetheless. Maybe this might be what he's hanging on for.

Not even ten months at this rate.

The difference is that Carter has foregone additional medical intervention.

Same, though I knew it had to be a hoax and woke up.
