    I’d say it’s 50/50 right now if he’ll survive or not. But even if he does survive he’s going to have some nasty lung scarring.

      Like I said, they injected literal antibodies into him. This is something that even normal rich people don't usually get. He's not going to die, and probably won't even have any lasting effects that other 80 year old presidents didn't have.

          He’ll probably live, but with no effects?

          As for the effects it depends on how much damage has been done already. The very likely scenario is that he will suffer no damage from here on out.

          All antibodies mean is his immune system can recognize and react to the virus, that doesn’t mean his mickey D’s fueled immune cells are up to the task

          Yes, I can almost guarantee you they are.

          Immunosenescence is almost ENTIRELY about the loss of a flexible adaptive immune system, losing the ability to make fine tuned antibodies that fit viral antigens perfectly, these are mostly B cells and CD4 T cells, thymal age atrophy is a big part of the latter (CD8 cytoxic T cells are almost always fine)

          Literally everybody (excepting a few genetic conditions) have normal levels of these "blast them away" type immune cells that you're imagining. Neutrophils and macrophages.
