The fact he's symptomatic in any way is worrying about his condition. Like I said previously, they maintained that PM Johnson was fine, when he in fact, was not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to this article https://nypost.com/2020/10/02/trump-infused-with-polyclonal-antibodies-to-fight-covid-19/ "Following PCR-confirmation of the President’s diagnosis, as a precautionary measure he received a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail" So the physician to the President is claiming it's a precautionary measure. But yes, it seems possible the physician might be downplaying his condition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hestia11 572 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 The pool report says Trump is heading to Walter Reed. Again, could be nothing. But this is all adding up to that they're trying to downplay panic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, if the physician believes there's any possibility of a significant degradation in his condition, they will probably want all available medical resources nearby. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like (and this is me just guessing) if it was actually routine on the virus it wouldve happened earlier today. I think its getting serious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Trumps staff will continue to downplay it, Just like Boris Johnsons staff did, but I think we could agree with Boris Johnson being 20 years younger and even in slightly better health- and still almost dying, shows how serious this may be.

Yes, Johnson was put on oxygen. According to the WH, "“Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days.”" https://www.silive.com/news/2020/10/trump-is-being-sent-to-military-hospital.html Take it with a pinch of salt.

PoliticalPundit 285 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 "ABC: Trump has fever, chills, congestion and cough." Even if passes this, Trump gotta drop out and let Pence try to win this. This way worse than the Access Hollywood tapes imo. The irony of all his health comments about Biden, now he's the one people will have question marks about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The biggest red flag is how much Boris struggled with it. Yes, that's why I mentioned she's female. We have a vast number of cases to draw on. 10s of millions of people in the U.S. have had COVID-19. We know the CFR for his age bracket, sex, and health condition. Yes, it might be as bad or worse than Boris, but we don't need to go by that in trying to figure out the likely course of things for Trump - we have much better evidence.
