    idk anything about rich people's tiered healthcare, but I have to assume the steroids they are giving him is kind a big deal? idk enough about any of this to assume much more than knowing press releases/statements will always underplay the severity of situations like this.

      Nah. Dexamethasone is pretty much standard of care for hospitalized patients. Honestly,. If he hasn't crumped yet, he is probably going to make it out of this fine. Unfortunately.

        That's not how the virus works. It's a slow process and he is still only days into testing positive and yet he has needed oxygen and they have him on medications that they only give dying patients. Not only this, he's refusing the oxygen and trying to bully his way into being released by acting like a tough guy.

        We're not to the real bad part yet. It will take around a week or two for him to truly be suffering. There is a reason his staffers staged a video and photo ops to make it look like he's doing OK, cause come Thursday-Friday, he's most likely going to be in bad shape.

        I thought that it was actually not given unless the case was severe and the immune system overreacted.
