It's probably serious condition now.

Trump is receiving dexamethasone, a steroid usually given to patients with severe Covid-19, according to STAT, a publication I never heard of until a few minutes ago, but that looks extremely legit.

 

At this point, the Vice President should be in the basement practically wearing a hazmat suit. If there were any adults left in the White House, like General Kelly, that's what would be happening. It's a national security issue at this point.

If they cared about national security, Pence would be in charge right now. Trump should be focusing on his health.  Pumping Trump up with roids so he can spend a few minutes a day doing his weekend at Bernie's routine, is clinically speaking "nuts".  The roids he is taking induce mania and even psychosis which is a real danger with him because his personality is already manic. 

 

I can speak from firsthand experience. When I was in my 20s, I had to take heavy dose roids to treat a lung infection.  Even though I was extremely sick, I felt like I could run a marathon once they dosed me up.  Physically, your body just feels stronger incredibly strong.  I didn't even register pain.  However, when they start decreasing the dose, you feel like you have been hit by a freight train.  I felt worse from the roid comedown than I did the actual illness I was being treated for.  

Also, Trump's doctor admitted that he lied yesterday, probably at Trump's direction.

 

Also, Trump's doctor was evasive today and then said that his oxygen absorption levels were "never in the low 80's." Meaning obviously, that at some point they were in the mid-80's. Which is serious hypoxia. 

 

Also, the photo of Trump signing a "document" turned out to be a blank sheet of paper.

Doctors are limited by the HIPPA rules how much information they can disclose.  That Trump is the POTUS doesn't permit his MDs to tell more than he gives permission for.   I saw the broadcast this morning.  If his oxygen saturation was in the 96-98% range that is way super, better than most.  If it dropped a bit from that at some point they might have been concerned that it would continue dropping and out of caution start this tiny dose of oxygen by nasal prongs, since it was already a known fact he had Covid-19.  My huband's O2 sat runs 93 all the time.  He and the doctors are fine with it.

 

IMO the reporters interferred with the doctor's trying to answer the questions.  If he was on 2 liters of oxygen at one time or another that is a standard small dose given if/when in doubt.  Have a procedure like colonoscopy it is likely you'll wake up with nasal prongs delivering 2 liters of oxygen, just a precaution.   One of the docs indicted his CXRs had some findings but they didn't elaborate.  I'd expect there would be some findings and they may be ongoing but may not be life threatening.  I was wishing the reporters weren't so rowdy and would let them finish their answers more completely.

Oh please. The doctor admitted that he lied about the oxygen. And if HIPPA is the issue, he could have said that HIPPA rules prevent him from answering the question. 

Once again, the hateful liars posting here continue to make up "facts" -  par for the course.

Next time, why don't you just say "Oh yeah!" It's shorter.

Next time, why don't you wait for the actual facts to be given before you start posting? You have been wrong numerous times over the past few years and no one with any real sense takes your prattle as being anything more than another twisting of the truth.

For "years?" I've been posting here less than a year now. And there is photographic evidence that Trump was signing a blank piece of paper.

My mistake about the amount of time you have been posting here.
