He should recover. They used modern medicine, not a speck of Hydroxychloroquine as he didn't have malaria and his chosen medication might kill him.
medical science progresses...Aren’t you glad we didn’t employ the liberal tactic and just pronounce that the science was settled?
Just glad the medical professionals did not listen to his stupid rhetoric.
It would have been like an Aesop fable wouldn't it? The huckster shows up sick from a disease he dismissed and took no precautions against except for taking Hydroxychloriquine....and the doctors will then only prescribe Hydroxy and watch him get worse and worse.
NPR reported he was taking experimental drugs. That's not too encouraging.
Isn't it that remsi-something that Fauci has been so optimistic about? Everything has to go through a testing phase, but if the docs already know it stops the virus in its tracks, I'm not sure it's a sign of anything bad.
I'll take your word for Fauci. I don't know what he endorses.
The Revisimir (sp) is a known quantity;
The experimental REGN-COV2, injection has not been approved by the FDA. If you're taking things that haven't been approved for use, it's sort of a Hail Mary approach to therapy. There are certainly degrees to the "Hail Mary" description but its certainly not a good sign if you're in the shoes of the patient.
The video was encouraging however.
Thanks for the clarification.
Not sure I can agree with the "Hail Mary" description. There is always the latest and thought to be the greatest, not yet available to the mass market for a variety of reasons. At his level, his medical team would have access. They are not trying something of unknown record or underlying, deniable theory. It is not at all necessarily a last resort against undeniable outright defeat or negative outcome. Most of his team would probably be among the most conservative, up to date medical professionals around, using the absolute best information available at that level, which exceeds the normal level of treatment and talent available to you and me as that is what POTUS deserves, no matter if he is the leading jerk-wad of the free world or not. Sorry. Couldn't help throwing that in. My fingers repeatedly slipped and I just couldn't control them.
