most/many of Trump's Walter Reed doctors are also in the military - this non-military doctor is an attending doc at Walter Reed Hospital...

it is what it is!



All these new infections may not be consistent with what's happening with their infection rate overall.

If Trump is released from the hospital in the next few days, it will be suspect of some hoaxing going on. Personally, i believe that Trump really is sick, but who knows?

As if it couldn't get any more ridiculous/retarded, the trump team is now criticizing Biden for not having "first hand experience" regarding Covid. Maybe if stupid bugger donny had taken obvious precautions (i.e. a mask) he also wouldn't have the first hand experience he is now going through.

By the way - NBC/WSJ had a poll yesterday with Biden 14 points ahead.

Also... turns out old people aren't really into the 'let gramma and grampa die' message...  CNN just had 62% of seniors vote thumbs down on Trump handling the pandemic.  But the no-education-prepper vote is with Trump hands down.

Trump is now receiving a steroid treatment for Covid.  That's big news, because this is a treatment they only use for patients in serious cases:
I got a cold in the winter and doc gave me an inhaler with steroids in it to help clear the airways of congestion and reduce inflammation in the lungs, basically just helping me breath easier.  It's probably not a big deal.  COVID attacks the lungs.
Most medications have side effects. The steroid that is given to Covid patients is probably different than the one you were taking.

From: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-trump-steroid/trump-steroid-treatment-for-covid-19-raises-potential-side-effect-risk-idUKKBN26Q2S4
Trump’s medical team on Sunday said the president was started on dexamethasone, a generic steroid long and widely used to reduce inflammation associated with other diseases. The steroid was begun after Trump experienced low oxygen levels....But dexamethasone has typically been reserved for more serious cases.
...
But studies show the drug may be harmful in people with milder COVID-19 because it can suppress their natural immune response. In addition, side effects can include physical problems such as blurred vision and irregular heartbeat, as well as personality changes and difficulty thinking...


Its the whole 'difficulty thinking' that should be of most concern to the average person concerned about what the president might do. (Well, maybe... given the fact that its Trump, it probably doesn't matter.)

In other words, probably not a medication you will want to give unless the patient has a need for it.

Trump took the motorcade stroll around Walter Reed to show everyone he wasn't on his deathbed.
There were other ways that Trump could have demonstrated that he "wasn't on his deathbed" without putting the lives of his security detail at risk... Something as simple as releasing a video would have done the same thing.

Trump is trending on Twitter under #gasping because he is so short of breathe as he tries to do his Mussolini impersonation on the White House balcony.

I understand that Covid is more dangerous when it hits you in the second round which is usually 8+ days after getting it so a pity if it flares up again.

Lets hope Covid takes donny where he deserves to go. Sadly it may well happen he will take others with him who don't deserve it.

Hey that reminds me of days gone by when we had The Three Stooges to laugh at. Unfortunately you can't laugh at the current version.

Donny says don't be afraid of Covid. Over 210 thousand Americans have died from it. DUH!

I can't stand to see someone gasping.  Makes me very uncomfortable.

Great photoshopping!
But the reality in it is in his lack of ability to debate. Now all Biden needs to do is smile and laugh at his remarks in the next debate. If it happens?
Avoiding it could very well be the reason why Trump got sick. Or in other words, he faked it?

Ratcheting up sympathy for an ailing president who's apparently in distress with his laboured breathing, would be a powerful message to Americans.

I don’t think it was faked.  Trump loves rallies and mocks people with illness as well as mocking any precautions against COVID19.  This hurts his brand immensely.  And I don’t think most Americans would want an ‘ailing president’, regardless of how sympathetic they may feel.
