Meadows: Trump’s Blood Oxygen Levels ‘Dropped Rapidly’ Before Friday Hospitalization | Talking Points Memo

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Saturday night revealed that President Trump’s blood oxygen level “dropped rapidly” prior to his hospitalization at Walter Reed the day before.

If meadows is telling the truth – a big if – that could be important news. That would be after the initial infusions of antibodies, and not necessarily a good sign for trump’s lungs. The current “happy” with trump’s levels might mean they’re actually good, or it might just mean they haven’t cratered.

(And it’s part of the natural history of Covid-19 infection that people appear better with low sats than they would with many other diseases.)

This is a sign of lung involvement. As every parent knows, fever can be controlled. If Covid is affecting your breathing, you have to worry about viral load.

Mark Meadows should resign. He failed to keep the President safe.

All this from a fake virus that disappeared magically when the weather got warm at Easter?

They probably forced him to take a Covid test on Friday, then suddenly his oxygen levels drop. This guy was a walking viral case way before it was confirmed that he had the virus.
Continuing to add to the death toll by his negligence for months and now he’s contributing on a personal level.
He’s going down in shame no matter how this ends.

This would affect a normal person’s brain but Trump is in no danger of his brain being damaged anymore then it is or has been.

I’m sure he’s telling the truth here because he’s too stupid and uninformed to know the implications you are referring to.

However, I’m certain with the level of care he’s receiving, he’ll pull through just fine. I hope it infuriates every American that the person who has caused tens of thousands of needless deaths gets the best care - that we pay for. I just can’t get past that …

the President [sic] has made “unbelievable improvement” and “was up and walking around,”

He’ll be back to walking the course and carrying his own clubs at Bedminster when he returns to work next weekend.

Q-Tip is positively quivering in anticipation.

Mother Pence is forcing him to take cold showers and repent.

Don’t believe a word this asshole says. He has a long history of building false narratives.

It’s likely that Trump’s O2 levels were down, but let’s hear that on the record from the doctors treating him. Everything you hear from Meadows is aimed at framing how Trump is “beating the virus” with his God-like genes.

In case you were wondering whether the president’s hospitalization would result in the Quonspiracists re-examining their beliefs, sorry to disappoint you.

They say Christ died for our sins.

What’s undeniable is that many of us have died for Trump’s.
