Trump Was Sicker Than Acknowledged With Covid-19
The New York Times ^ | February 11, 2020 | Noah Weiland

Posted on 02/11/2021 9:17:57 PM PST by KingofZion

President Donald J. Trump was sicker with Covid-19 in October than publicly acknowledged at the time, with extremely depressed blood oxygen levels at one point and a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus, according to four people familiar with his condition.

His prognosis became so worrisome before he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center that officials believed he would need to be put on a ventilator, two of the people familiar with his condition said.

The people familiar with Mr. Trump’s health said he was found to have lung infiltrates, which occur when the lungs are inflamed and contain substances such as fluid or bacteria. Their presence, especially when a patient is exhibiting other symptoms, can be a sign of an acute case of the disease. They can be easily spotted on an X-ray or scan, when parts of the lungs appear opaque, or white.

Mr. Trump’s blood oxygen level alone was cause for extreme concern, dipping into the 80s, according to the people familiar with his evaluation. The disease is considered severe when the blood oxygen level falls to the low 90s.

*** But the new details about his condition and about the effort inside the White House to get him special access to an unapproved drug to fight the virus help to flesh out one of the most dire episodes of Mr. Trump’s presidency.

*** The former president resisted being taken from the White House to Walter Reed, relenting when aides told him that he could walk out on his own, or risk waiting until the U.S. Secret Service was forced to carry him out if he got sicker, two people familiar with the events said.

His story is heroic.

He is a giant of a man in comparison to the pinko midgets who pursue him.

There may be verifiable facts in this story. But I don’t trust the NYT to organize them into a truthful one.

Hippa rules are that you can not reveal health information about another person unless that person gives you permission.....

these people are either grand liars or they all should be prosecuted for Hippa violations....

Chairman Jao Bai Din is, no doubt, the epitome of health.

Isn’t that right, New York Times?

All the lies; fit to print; for skulls full of mush.

And yet we all saw him with our own eyes up and around just days later. And even before that we heard him speaking to us in a strong, clear unobstructed voice.

Thanks, NY Times, for clearing up my misconceptions of reality and giving me a corrected version of history.

True or not, I will not take the NY SLIME as the arbiter of truth in any matter.
