To be honest if he's going to walter reid ill say im way closer to believing its true and i was 50/50 this morning.

If it's fake theres no way it stays secret if hes in a hospital regardless of how locked down he is.

Will he end up on a vent? Because we all know hes far from an excellent specimen of health and the longer you stay on a vent the chances of coming off it successfully drop quite drastically.

How good a president will Pence be if he croaks it?

Heard he is been taken to hospital. While it did cross my mind for a second I believe it is true

BBC are reporting it, just for tests apparently

Pence tenure would be brief hopefully, very conservative.

The worst case scenario is Trump winning the election.
The second worst case scenario is Trump loosing but somehow clinging to power.
The third worst case scenario is Trump becoming incapacitated long-term or dying from the virus. The American people need the opportunity to vote him out of office; and he deserves years of legal entanglements for the crap he has done.

I will not accept he has the virus until he does a public verified test confirmed by a rep, a dem and a neutral medic

This is not Trumps own doctors. This is the main doctor for the governments. Highly decorated

Lewis Goodall from BBC reporting he was prescribed non approved drugs. Is it possible something went wrong?
Would you prescribe the second most powerful man in the world a non approved drug?

The second worse will not happen. There is this silly thing called the constitution that stops that.

Trump probably ordered it if true.

Water John

Regeneron is the drug, an antibody cocktail. Reaction to it is unlikely, he just needs to be in hospital, not sure what tests they are talking about. He needs monitoring and possibly oxygen assisted breathing.

That’s what they’re saying. Would a doctor do it though? Big risk

He was given one of the most promising of a new class of treatments. What is unusual is that this treatment is still very early in trials, and you would expect him to have received one of the existing treatments which are in wider use and we know more about safety.

Well if he is taking this trial drug they be having him in to monitor I say.

Not saying it will happen but who takes Trump if he did die. Would he stay on the ticket and Pense takes over. Or will it be who was 2nd in primaries

Water John

The other existing treatments, remdesiver etc, would be used later IWT.

Regeneron is the company that makes it. They have a factory in Limerick

I suppose I should have said *attempt* to cling to power because things could get very messy if that happens.

Doctors prescribe off license all the time.

Remdesiver is made in Cork. I accept that Regeneron is the co, but it's being used as shorthand for the trial drug.

Gael23

Any way we could Fedex a few bottles of Domestos to the White House in case this experimental treatment doesn’t work?

I doubt It will happen. It's just like Trump not answering the white supremacy question he does it to cause controversy

Sorry I meant to say that they have a factory in Limerick not where its made

What?

Some say it’s a con designed to get attention and sympathy

Water John

They're two different treatments.

Fairly risky incase anything happens. This is the president and he is the top doctor for the government.

All for the optics ?

Doctors don't prescribe off licence. Some drugs during trial may get a TUE exemption for use, Regeneron hasn't that. It can only be given possibly under a 'compassionate basis'. they may be giving it as it works in helping you immunity before you own body starts making them do helps in the early stages.
