President Trump's White House physician, Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley, reports that Trump is being treated with a Regeneron polyclonal antibody cocktail and has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.

Just this Tuesday, George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stated about the still in test phase new polyclonal antibody cocktail:

They gave Trump the large dose, but,then, he is a large man.

No, they’ve got it right. I had noted and posted this on another thread earlier today:

White House doctor: Trump received experimental antibody cocktail, remains ‘fatigued’ after COVID-19 diagnosis.

This doesn’t sound especially reassuring:

“At the webcast that announced Regeneron’s results, George Yancopoulos, president and co-founder of the company, emphasized how the “target population” for the monoclonal cocktail are SARS-CoV-2 infected people who have “not yet mounted their own immune response” and have exceedingly high levels of the virus. “What we really want to do is turn them into patients who have already started to effectively fight the virus,” Yancopoulos said.”

Not our janet janet I hope.

Interesting.

But then for a head of state, getting them in early is always a good idea anyway

I’ll trust God for the Physicians working with Trump and Trump himself for his treatment.

Please list them.

One side effect appears to be a hunger for raw sheep.

[Uncle Miltie]

why aspirin? I thought it was contraindicated due to blood in the lungs.

[Uncle Miltie]

famotidine has something to do with the ace2 inhibitors that covid uses.

was discovered in chinaa because the poor who used it to control acid reflux did better.

My guess he delayed going till AFTER market closed knowing that and aware such a move would have caused a huge sell off.<<<

Possibly......but I don't think that will matter as much as the upcoming market meltdown during a contested election...

I told my Broker...I'm not market timing but I am taking alot of profit off the table for now.....Ill get back in when things stabilize....brokers never tell you to sell and are not aware of their “Normalcy bias”.....Thats my 2 cents...I welcome yours..

[Nifster]

Yup me too

Dr. said Covid virus ‘load’ is no where near what it was months ago and why the recovery rate is so high now....so that's good.... Also that the cocktail he's being given has helped cut the replication of the virus and that the sooner an individual begins this the better..so he's getting it early on...and that's good. One man in his 70's was in the ICU for 3 months.....after two weeks on this cocktail he went home!

Your approach sounds reasonable. I don’t try to time the market nor day trade.

Dr Oz explained why melatonin on Hannity. it kind of went over my head -it doesn’t have to do with sleep - but maybe you can dvr and review his re-run a little later.

[avital2]

according to one doctor, aspirin can be used against possibility of blood clots

Dr. Gupta said he doesn’t understand why they are giving the President an experimental drug for treatment and that his symptoms must be worse then they are saying. Gupta of course, is Biden supporter.
