He is making his farewell tour (if he turns up) and expects an Emperor like reception.

THEN, he will croak it.

I would expect to see him emaciated if he were about to fall off his perch.

That's the usual sign of decline.

For all the millions of dollars he has already spent in his trips to Cuba, the Venezuelan government should have already built several hospitals capable of treating him and other venezuelans suffering from the same disease. Very sad for Venezuela.

Very doubtful, they would need fire-proof transmission equiptment or risk burning him to death.

Mmm, on second thoughts I can see an opportunity here!

He's got to get Bolivia and Ecuador into Mercosur while he's still running the show.
That way the Bolivarians can vote in the majority and start to pull Brasil's money to the basket-case countries. (A bit like in the European Union, except that, in parts of South America, defaults just don't mean a thing).
