POTUS - COVID Positive

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Essential worker.   


Now who is gonna tell us the hard truths? "We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here..and isn't it refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama."


After knowingly mingling with covid positive people, she mingled with reporters yesterday - maskless. She is a danger to society.

Laughingly, Trump tried to bring up Obama's response to H1N1 up during the debate.

Trump is now uniquely qualified to tackle this PLAGUE now that he has infiltrated it from inside and can attack the COVID hive mind. This would be a bitchin' Doctor Who episode.

The Trump campaign is now attacking Biden for...not contracting coronavirus.
"He has experience — now — fighting the coronavirus as an individual. Those firsthand experiences, Joe Biden, he doesn't have those."

Maybe he should have gotten the whole experience that the rest of America got then.

1) After being exposed, placed in mandatory quarantine. He'd be tested, but only once symptoms start. Then, he'd have to wait 7-10 days to get the result.

2) No world class medical care in your own residence. Instead, you are left to your own, if you have symptoms take Tylenol. Based on his symptoms so far, any attempts to go to the ER would result in them sending you home to take Tylenol.

3) No access to Regeneron, or at this juncture, access to Remdesivir.

Any claims to being better prepared to handle this because he had it, is like me claiming I know what it is to be so poor I never get to eat, because I once forgot lunch money and had to borrow it from a friend.

I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

His tweets as always resurface, I hope to God this doesn't come back to bite him.  Is Chris Christie not still hospitalized?  He's telling people contracting COVID-19 made him feel 20 years younger.  It's unbelievably reckless.

I hope he recovers, but seriously? Over 210,000 Americans dead, and he is still trying to downplay it. It's all about the votes....

I'd say unbelievable but it isn't.  His actions today will make this thing more political than it already is.  This is a very serious moment for our nation and he just threw dynamite on a fire

I want to hear the defense of him now.

Once again, this narcissist's irresponsible message is almost the exact opposite of what he should have stated.

No, we shouldn't be "afraid" of COVID-19, as in shaking-in-our-boots, hiding-in-our-bunkers afraid. But we should have a healthy respect for how insidious the virus can be, even to perfectly healthy humans.

We also should respect that even if we survive -- as the vast majority of COVID-19 patients do -- there is a decent chance that we could be haunted for years by serious medical conditions stemming from COVID-19. The obese, high-cholesterol, 74-year-old Trump has no idea yet if he will be one so haunted.

And, obviously, we should respect the fact that just about nobody else in America has access to the kind of care that Trump had these last few days. The "really great drugs" he referenced -- not available to most of us.

And, of course, if he wins his fight to take Obamacare away from tens of millions of Americans -- something he is cruelly trying to do in the middle of a deadly global pandemic -- few will even have access to basic care, let alone all the treatments he had pumped into him.

He has learned nothing except how to politicize the coronavirus even more and how to use it to divide Americans even more than he already has.

Dr. Gounder also noted that dexamethasone can cause a sense of euphoria. Mr. Trump said in his tweet that he feels better than he has in 20 years.

"A lot of people will just feel really great. If you had any aches and pains, they will disappear. If you had a fever, that will disappear," she said. "People can become somewhat manic, grandiose."

Great...

Great...

Dexamethasone has many troubling side effects. Per the Mayo Clinic website:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/dexamethasone-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20075207

Notably, the "more common" side effects include the following:

aggression
agitation
anxiety
blurred vision
decrease in the amount of urine
dizziness
fast, slow, pounding, or irregular heartbeat or pulse
headache
irritability
mental depression
mood changes
nervousness
noisy, rattling breathing
numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
pounding in the ears
swelling of the fingers, hands, feet, or lower legs
trouble thinking, speaking, or walking
troubled breathing at rest
weight gain

So yeah; just send him out to run the country.

I am thrilled he is doing better, and hope he makes a full recovery. But he has no business running a country right now with the medications he has taken. If you or I had received all those meds, we would be sent home, told to rest, and advised not to make any important decisions for a while.

Just watched it.
The DNC needs to just give the Lincoln Project  any funds they raise. They are much better at messaging than anything the Dems come up with.

You talking about Our Fight, featuring the slogan he gave to the Proud Boys?

If not, please provide link for what you are talking about.

The attending physician at Walter Reed is pissed.   Obviously a deep state, tinfoil hat wearing lefty.

Might want to double check that there Tower.

I understand we're talking about the president and covid-19 here, but please try to limit the propaganda.

Unfortunately that's the story of these last 4 years and twitter in general....say something crazy with an incorrect/fake bio or with anonymous sourcing, get hundreds of thousands of retweets, online publications right stories without fact checking anything....48 hrs later it turns out to be all or largely false but damage has been done and no one cares or pays attention to the correction.

Dr. James P. Phillips hardly sounds like "anonymous sourcing." And he went beyond the tweet - he did a live interview this morning on Good Morning America.
