Trump to quarantine awaiting Covid test

[Loki]

Trump is headed to Walter Reid hospital for a few days
for treatment, I didn’t see anything about severity.

Will Hillary Clinton denounce the tweet of her former national spokeswoman?

Normal human being.

The Treatment:

Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said in a memo shared by White House officials that the president “as a precautionary measure” has “received a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail.”

“He completed the infusion without incident,” Conley wrote.

Regeneron’s experimental drug cocktail has yet to be approved for wider use. Results shared by the pharma giant just this week showed that some non-hospitalized Covid-19 patients who took the two-antibody treatment saw reduced viral levels and improved symptoms.

Regeneron confirmed in a statement to CNBC that it provided the dose to the president in response to a “compassionate use” request from Trump’s doctors. That term refers to a way patients can access experimental drugs outside of clinical trials.

Trump has also been taking zinc, vitamin D, melatonin, a daily aspirin and the histamine-blocker famotidine, Conley said in the memo.

“As of this afternoon the President remains fatigued but in good spirits. He’s being evaluated by a team of experts, and together we’ll be making recommendations to the President and First Lady in regards to next best steps,” the physician said.

Conley’s memo added that first lady Melania Trump, who also tested positive for Covid-19, “remains well with only a mild cough and headache.”

FNC reporting that Trump is being transferred to Walter Reed "out of an abundance of caution."

Yeeesh...

Let's jump on the conspiracy bandwagon. I know how much those of you on the Right just love a good conspiracy theory.

Many believe this is all just a ploy to gain sympathy votes for his sinking ship. Since every other word out of his mouth is a lie, I wouldn't put it past him to concoct this whole scheme, claiming he and his wife have the virus when they really don't. So watch what happens in the next couple weeks. If this theory is true, the scenario I predict is that he won't have serious symptoms at all, will claim to be taking hydroxycloriquine again, and emerge healthy as a bug in no time. This will give him more sway to the cult regarding the seriousness of covid. It's his last ditch chance to save his reelection, which has virtually no chance at this point, even when he calls fraud after the results.
Personally, I have no opinion on whether this is true or not, but again, I wouldn't put it past him. He is the most amoral man one could ever encounter. Shame on you who still back him because you believe he will increase your stock portfolio and keep those Mexican killers from your doorstep. Gullible, the cult is.

Stay classy, dude.

Of course. Better than being culty.

Want to know what's funny about your reply? Your first post was a mix of cult views and conspiracy theories.

Sounds similar to what some of the geniuses over at WTF are saying.

There are a few decent human beings over there.

And a few absolute trash.

The veneer of civility is washed away from some more easily than others. Righteousness is not a cloak of invisibility around a pretty shitty soul, even though it's normal for humans to consider it so.

[George K]

I have to wonder how much of the reporting from the White House was pre-written in the case of such an eventuality.

[xenon]

Putting myself in the shoes of a committed leftist - I don't think it does them any good to have Trump die.

You don't defeat his ideas and philosophy by physically defeating the man - they'd need to defeat him at the ballot box for that.

Him dying immortalizes his points-of-view in a certain way.

I'm a liberal, but when I read what some human beings write about other human beings, I lean towards despair.

I wonder, were people always quietly like this, or is it another by-product of the internets?

Committed leftists don’t approach anything rationally.

As a committed centrist, my preferred outcome for Trump is humiliation at the polls. Second best is a loss. Third best is a natural death. Second to last is victory at the polls. Last is assassination.

I wanna know what's between third best and second to last....

Nothin, I just decided to start counting from the other side. Those can be thought of as numbered 1-5.

[George K]

He looks terrible.

[jon-nyc]

Image if you’re in bed with fever and chills and they tell you to get up and put a suit and tie on. Seriously fuck that.

I was thinking the same thing. However, it would have looked a lot worse if he didn't appear "presidential." Can you imagine him in "POTUS Jammies?"

Probably worse than not being seen at all, but...

Perception is reality, right?

A testament to how quickly the news arrives:

[jon-nyc]

By the way, he is getting a Regeneron polyclonal antibody cocktail. Regeneron is headquartered about 4mi from my house. The founder’s son just lost the primary to replace my Congress critter, and the chair of the house appropriations committee, Nita Lowy. I voted for him.
