Most reporting on Trump is these days...

There's no way that fat f*ck beat it that quickly and easily, even with all the best meds available for free (paid for by you and me) to him.
No f*cking way.
I have to disagree on that one. Even though your risk of a severe disease course is higher the older you are (25 % case fatality reported for those over 80), you can still have a relatively light course at that age. Testing +ve two days before the onset of symptoms, having two real bad days with a fever and then going into reconvalescence is not implausible.
Of course, I'm not saying they aren't lying to us. Or that anything about this story sounds normal. This drug stuff makes my head hurt. So he received an experimental antibody drug not yet approved for the treatment of Covid-19? The President as a guinea pig for an unapproved drug still undergoing testing ? Wow. He was given Remdesivir, even though he was reported NOT to be on supplemental oxygen (Remdesivir is approved for use in Covid patients with pneumonia and diminished oxygen levels in the blood). He was given Dexamethasone, even though that is reserved for patients on a ventilator with severe "cytokine storm" symptoms? What were the doctors thinking? Did he tell them, hy, I'm the Prez, throw anything at me you have, and they
complied? Oh. My. They seem to be in the mindset that drug approvals exist to keep the normal patients from the good stuff while the celebs and the rich guys get what is really effective. Where was the stern attending telling the Me-me-me pain in the ass rich guy to cut it and take the scientifically approved drugs (and only those) or to look for an idiot giving in to his whims at a different hospital?
Donald trump is the man who infects others with his lack of professionalism.
