So he can infect others? LOL! You know “they” will say this is proof that his “having” CV-19 was a sham all along to get sympathy votes since he trails by 1,500 points out of a surveyed 943 democommie voters in recent cnn poles (sic).

Yeah - but not below 90. Idiot reporters kept wanting the BAD news.

I yelled at the “Why isn’t the President wearing a mask?” question. Such loathsome idiots.

Then afterwards, the NBC Dr HAS to say “oh oh - very concerning - they gave him something that only Severe cases get”. No Doc - these doctors are being aggressive and giving him stuff to nip issues in the bud. Not waiting for severe conditions.

Regeneron's treatment: "powerfully reducing the amount of virus found in nasopharyngeal swabs and alleviating symptoms more quickly. “These are provocative results,” says Myron Cohen of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who was not involved with the study but is helping Regeneron test its monoclonal cocktail as a preventive."

Do you know how many doctors and other people would have to be in on this conspiracy for it to work? Democrats will say that but people aren’t that stupid at least not about 60%. And we only need 51

American media, a National disgrace. Did anyone hear any press conferences in 2016 when Clinton was unable to walk and was thrown into the limo like a side of beef? How about the obvious seizures she exhibited, multiple times. Then we were told she simply had pneumonia, no questions about her oxygen saturation there! How about joe Biden and his shortness of breath, multiple times just re entry?

I won’t focus on the lying evil press! I will focus on Trump’s recovery, his determination to lead, and his inability to lose! God bless our warrior!

“they gave him something that only Severe cases get”

That is simply wrong.

Regeneron is testing their treatment on 3 groups of people.

1). Those with mild/moderate cases
2). Those with severe cases
3). As a preventative treatment

Results for phase 1/2 were released for #1.

This is great news! I never stopped praying for the president but I prayed more since he got this illness. I never doubted though that he would be fine. He has God in his corner.

I guess that expression comes from boxing?

God must give the best pep speeches between rounds :-)

All kidding aside it’s very obvious to anyone with eyes that Trump was touched by God and that he is a very special man

President Trump’s doctors say their plan is “for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the White House where he can continue his treatment course.”

Trump surviving this short Covid Debacle should beef him up to a 55% approval, yet meanwhile NBC/CNN will/may take a new poll later this week saying that Biden is now ahead of Trump by 14 points! Oh, like Hillary around this time in 2016?

The press demonstrate no understanding of this and simply want gotcha points. Questions about isolation lung scans etc are inappropriate but here is my educated opinion

1. Of course he is in isolation. Negative pressure is only important in a hospital wing where there are many rooms. Negative pressure rooks Jane an anteroom so that nothing gets out into corridors. The president is in his own suite in his own building. Negative pressure is irrelevant

2. Transient hypoxemia occurs with any respiratory disease. The key take away is that he is not feeling short of breath. This tells me that he is on the upswing. Additionally continuous pulse of telemetry demonstrates transient decreases in saturation on most hospitalized patients in any particular period.

3. Fever. Didn’t hear one reported. So I assume he remains afebrile. This is the best news of all. Usually 72 hours afebrile signals rust the disease is generally run its course.

4. Discharge planning is starting which means that he is probably doing very well. If discharges tomorrow that means I’m the medical judgment of the attending physician he does not require hospital level services

5. He will complete remdesivir. Five days as I said yesterday. The remdesivir has shortened the duration of the hospitalization and severity of the symptoms. Exactly what studies have shown

6. They are starting decadron. This is a relatively low risk medication that is steroid and shown to improve outcome. It’s fine to start this for five days.

7. He is up and around and mobilizing which means he is oxygenating fine.

8. Lung scans. I have seen awful scans that had a mild course and relatively innocuous scans with horrible outcomes. So radiology is not predictive of outcome.

So in summary. It appears he has done well. He has had meds that shorten duration and decrease severity of symptoms. This is exactly what should have happened.

No conspiracy. No bull crap. This is right down the middle. He is likely day #8 since infection. 5 day incubation. Day thee is sunrooms. So if he remains afebrile and improving tomorrow will be day 9 or 10 and he is through the scariest part.

I am cautiously optimistic.

“The fact of the matter is he is doing really well. He is responding... & if everything continues to go well, we will start discharge back to the White House,” Dr. Sean Conley, Pres. Trump’s Physician, said. He went on to say the president could leave hospital as early as Monday.

.....and not a word about the fact that Madame President couldn’t address her supporters on election night because she was passed out drunk lying in a pool of her own vomit

I watched the Dr’s press conference. I can’t stand the media. I hate their yelling, shouting questions and interrupting. All yelling questions at the same time. We need to just be done with that all together.

From now on, have officials put out a video statement. They can answer some written questions at that time. There can be a website where they will respond in writing to all written press questions.
