From the questions regarding his lungs- one would take a guess that there is still some infection on the lungs

Infection in the lungs takes a long time to clear, that's from personal experience in ICU.

Trump's Doctor looked bit iffy there!

He doesn't have a serious disposition. Everything was laughy jokey.


He was grinning before answering any questiin.

I read yesterday that he isn't a MD, he is an Osteopath.

I presume he's just being the spokesman because he's closest to Trump but the other Doctors are the most important within the Medical Centre .

Edit:
Jake Tapper has just said that Dr Conley and Dooley are in the Navy so that explains the deference. Trump is their Commander.

Rumours are he told the docs to man up and stop wearing masks, so a couple of them have caught covid and are quarantining.

A bone doc. is the only one trump needs as he has no brain or heart to monitor

Being put on steroids means it's a hell of a lot more serious than it's being portrayed. Also pretty sure he won't be getting out tomorrow.

Do ye really think he needs to check with a nurse if Trump was on the oxygen? He knows well, just avoiding the question.

Shocking.

It's people like your good self that should be acknowledged and given one of the most important medical roles in one of the best hospitals in the world.

Failing that you should send them a list of recommendations to act on.

If Trump gets very ill and recovers, this **** show regarding messaging will not stand to him at all.

Let Pence take over. Have some rest. There’s literally no shame in it.

Remdesivir side effects:

Phase 3, adaptive, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in hospitalized adults with mild/moderate or severe COVID-19 (NCT04280705; ACTT-1): Serious adverse events (e.g., cardiac events, respiratory distress or failure, acute kidney injury, hypotension) reported in 21% in remdesivir group and 27% in placebo group; grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred in 29% in remdesivir group and 33% in placebo group. Most common nonserious grade 3 or greater adverse events in remdesivir group were anemia or decreased hemoglobin concentrations (8%); acute kidney injury, decreased eGFR or Clcr, or increased Scr (7%); pyrexia (5%); hyperglycemia or increased blood glucose concentrations (4%); and increased ALT and/or AST concentrations (4%); these were reported in 3–9% of patients in placebo group.

Phase 3, randomized, open-label trial in hospitalized adults with severe COVID-19 (NCT04292899; GS-US-540-5773; SIMPLE-Severe): Adverse events reported in 70 or 74% of patients who received a 5- or 10-day remdesivir regimen, respectively; serious adverse events (e.g., respiratory distress or failure, septic shock) reported in 21 or 35%, respectively, and grade 3 or greater adverse events reported in 30 or 43%, respectively. Drug discontinued because of adverse events in 4% of patients in 5-day group and 10% of patients in 10-day group. All-cause mortality at day 28 was 10 or 13% in the 5- or 10-day group, respectively. Most common adverse events overall were nausea (10 or 9%), acute respiratory failure (6 or 11%), increased ALT concentrations (6 or 8%), and constipation (7% in both groups),




Don’t see why your risk all that if you’re symptoms were as mild as they are saying...

They're now rather optimistically predicting he'll be back home on Monday.

WHO recommendations on Corticosteroids for COVID-19, published on 2 September 2020, (severe and critical vs nonsevere)

https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-2019-nCoV-Corticosteroids-2020.1

Recommendations: The panel made two recommendations: a strong recommendation for systemic (i.e.
intravenous or oral) corticosteroid therapy (e.g. 6 mg of dexamethasone orally or intravenously daily or
50 mg of hydrocortisone intravenously every 8 hours) for 7 to 10 days in patients with severe and critical
COVID-19, and a conditional recommendation not to use corticosteroid therapy in patients with nonsevere COVID-19.

The reasoning behind not recommending them in patients with nonsevere COVID-19 includes:

In contrast, systemic corticosteroids may increase the risk of death when administered to patients with non-severe COVID-19 (low certainty evidence; one study, 1535 patients; RR 1.22, 95% CI 0.93–1.61; absolute effect estimate 39 more per 1000 patients, 95% CI 12 fewer to 107 more).

Moreover, taking both a public health and a patient perspective, the panel warned that indiscriminate use of any therapy for COVID-19 would potentially rapidly deplete global resources and deprive patients who may benefit from it most as potentially life-saving therapy.

Now, obviously the second reason above only applies to general public health strategies, and not the individual treatment for a US President. But the first one - possible increase of risk of death - would apply if he only had a mild case.

Of course, it's possible his doctors regard the risk as negligible, given that it's only based on one study, and have decided to take a chance with it.

What do you mean, if we all love Trump a bit more he will stop being such a hateful character?


I think it's more, the most expensive medical team in the world, with a bit of luck, conquers the virus, even if you are unfit and overweight.

It’s amazing what a cocktail of powerful drugs can do if they managed to cure his toxic hate issue too.

To misquote an entirely fictitious random babbling source allegedly extremely close to the President: “Monday! People tell me it’ll be Monday. Monday’s a great day. Much better than Tuesday or Wednesday. It’ll be huge. The doctors and the world leaders, they’ve all been sending their condolences. It’s a beautiful thing. I would like to thank myself and how great I’ve been. People tell me I’m the best patient.”

I wonder why him and all the people around him didn't feel the need to take any precautions in regards to the virus?

Good synopsis of the between the lines there from the presser.
