Trump tests positive for Coronavirus (Mod warning in the op)

namloc1980

I'd say he's very sick. To go from being diagnosed to having a dose of an experimental drug in less than 24 hours is telling. Nothing on Twitter from him either. Increased chance of Pence being acting President by the end of the weekend.

Are you deliberately trying to downplay Hitler?

Not sure where you got that.


I'm just pointing out that comparisons to Hitler aren't as crazy as they sound. A common way to dismiss the idea is to compare him with 1940s Hitler which is of course, ridiculous. Comparing him to early-stage authoritarians, including Hitler, on the other hand is less ridiculous.



I'm not saying that Trump is literally Hitler or that Hitler was harmless. I'm saying that there are paralells between Trump and and other European authoritarians from the 20th century on both the left and the right.

How not to act in a Pandemic. It's easy at least to see why the White House is highly infected.

I just wish more people would understand this!

There was a time when a 'mild' case meant not being admitted to ICU

It is, the reality as well is there are people reading this post who are positive who have no idea they have it, most never will.

Earlier in the year it was presumed that for every known case there were 10 unknown ones.

We are well over a 1000 cases a day here in reality, probably multiples of that.

In America they probably have been having half a million a day in July and August.

His doctors are obviously concerned enough about his condition to be giving him something like that.

If he gets worse at least his conspiracy theory minded supporters can blame the GMO polyclonal antibody cocktail rather than the actual virus

All the suggestions are that symtoms are simply 'mild'.

And there was a time also that "mild" also translated too "very sick" according to one of the herd...

Edit.. as the story goes, the WH did not want Hope's positive test result out in the open, bit it was leaked..

Can you imagine what kind of spin would be going on if it didn't leak??? I shudder at the thought of it.

This has got to be a nightmare for his campaign.

Hmm.

It seems to be going downhill quite quickly. The optics politically are very bad but medically this is probably required.

From being diagnosed to hospital in under 24 hours. Surely Pence will take charge as acting President.

Next few days there

Sounding a bit like Boris situation now

Boris had to go at his mortal enemy, cold turkey though, no fancy regeneron antibody treatments then, he felt the real power of the invisible enemy from China

CNN saying he is to stay there for several days.

Press officer McElhaney has said he will work from there over the next few days.

I was reading Rdgenerons report from 29th Sep and 8gm is their high dose during trials

Quote
The descriptive analysis included the first 275 patients enrolled in the trial and was designed to evaluate anti-viral activity with REGN-COV2 and identify patients most likely to benefit from treatment; the next cohort, which could be used to rapidly and prospectively confirm these results, has already been enrolled. Patients in the trial were randomized 1:1:1 to receive a one-time infusion of 8 grams of REGN-COV2 (high dose), 2.4 grams of REGN-COV2 (low dose) or placebo. All patients entering the trial had laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 that was being treated in the outpatient setting. Patients were prospectively characterized prior to treatment by serology tests to see if they had already generated antiviral antibodies on their own and were classified as seronegative (no measurable antiviral antibodies) or seropositive (measurable antiviral antibodies). Approximately 45% of patients were seropositive, 41% were seronegative and 14% were categorized as "other" due to unclear or unknown serology status.

Reaction to the 8 gram cocktail? Off to hospital, what a mess.

Oh god. Pence has always terrified more than Trump tbh

Wonder will the scumbags in this thread still gloat if Trump actually dies.

Doesn't look great for him how quickly he's gone into hospital.

Time to fight it is now, not in a week after doing nothing at home. Best place is hospital,

Seems he's going to hospital in the marine one chopper. That doesn't seem as bad.

Ah well, that's news aggregators for you, the most read headline on newsnow is that of Trump, mild symptoms.

Would actually be great to see Pence take on elderly Joe if there is another debate, he's like a more modest, younger and reserved version of the Donald's principles, a sharp pencil when standing beside Joe on a stage.

The news aggregators will tell you who said it. If it's white house staff like the press secretary, it's to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Ha if trump dies the ms media is screwed along with the politics forum on here. A few folks over there won't know what to do with themselves. I can't wait for the worlds problems to magically disappear though.
