Doctors should have ordered that this freak be mildly sedated to prevent him taking action such as leaving the hospital to return to WH before it is safe (for him and others) to do so.
I agree that the doctors are giving as little information as possible. I do find it interesting that they are giving information about the meds he is getting. Assuming that they are responding to actual clinical observations, the meds are informative to clinicians. I have to assume that he doesn’t have access to a lot of the Tweets that I have been seeing, because they are assuming that the meds indicate a more severe case than the doctors are indicating. There is the possibility that they are giving him anything he asks for, but I can’t imagine that he is familiar with some of these things. It would be different if they were giving him whatever he has been seeing in his fever swamp blogs, but they seem to be giving him actual meds that are used for seriously ill people.
what is this, some f’kn make a wish for deathly ill presidents? i hope he takes a real turn and eats shit long enough to make this election a washout and then have cy vance hand cuff him at 12:01 1/20/2021
Life experience. They had to sedate my mom a few times when she was hospitalized for COPD execerbations. One time they gave her Ativan. 90 lb old lady, it took the orderlies 10 minutes chasing her down to get her back in bed. Like she was on PCP. She didn’t remember it.
Joe Biden’s campaign is ditching negative ads while TrumpThing is sick. Good for them. It will be accounted as righteousness.
The Lincoln Project is observing no such cease-fire. Good for them, too.
Not with guns. Not with tanks. With votes.

Not to worry. SOROS GROUP International is on it. @castor_troy and I are cruising through the Caspian Sea in a stealth submersible to take command of the situation. We’ll be directly offshore by midnight EST with a planned landing shortly thereafter. When our government fails to function, SGI will join allies and see to the safety of the free world.
It’s a power trip to tRump. He gets off on the underlings scrambling around for him. There are few things that bring him pleasure anymore and this is one of them.
Ivanka and Jared playing office in the WH doesn’t count?
Brian Garibaldi of Johns Hopkins is the head of the treatment team for Trump. He has an international reputation and is the leader of a team of pulmonologists and cardiologists at JH. Conley is the WH physician and medical spokesperson for the WH - very junior in experience and skills to the treatment team.
Sadly, he needs to do this about every other day for 7- 10 more days. Trump was infectious at the debate.
They can’t do that. And if they did it would require a formal temporary transfer of power to pencid. And he might not relinquish it.
Yes, except that the meds are pretty safe. It’s not like doing chemo for the sake of the news cycle. The scariest of the meds is dexamethasone, which can have lots of side effects, though most of them appear with long term use. I wonder why they used that and not prednisone? Did they at any point mention the dosage of dexamethasone? Because if they’re humoring demands for the usual known somewhat effective covid-19 drugs, they could be administering a trivial dose of dex.
I’ll note they haven’t mentioned hydroxychloroquine or oleandrin.

I haven’t heard any dosages, which would tell the story. And odd that hydroxychloroquin and oleandrin haven’t made the cut.
Conley just said it “wasn’t necessarily true” he was trying to conceal the president’s condition on Friday.
Not necessarily lying? So, there’s a small chance he wasn’t actually lying, even though he was caught at it? Only a gop would think that was a convincing statement.
Breaking news: everyone associated with drumpf is a liar.
“Steer the illness in another direction”…the coronavirus doesn’t speak English, so he must be talking about severe narcissistic behavior by his patient.
SAD. Not even Dr. Seuss could help this guy.
Speak for yourself. I utilized the emergency submersible lifeboat to evac to Azerbaijan, where those lovely stewardesses came from on the inbound flight.
Did leave chocolates and a nice bottle of wine in your cupboard to make up for it.
