      I mean he was doing pretty shit until they gave him the brand new never been tested yet antibody cocktail and steroids, then he recovered unfortunately. My country is one of the main manufacturers of the steroid (dexamethasone) and it's one of the reasons why my country has a really low death rate for confirmed cases, that stuff really works in inhibiting the ill effects of the virus. Dexamethasone reduces your chances of dying by 33% if you're on a ventilator, and 20% if you are on supplemental oxygen. So as soon as they pumped trump full of steroids his chance of dying went down by 20%. Combine that with the experimental antibody cocktail and the current result of Trump doing rallies happens.
