| Revealed: Trump Was So Sick With COVID In October, Aides Thought He Might Be Put On A Ventilator |
| 2021-02-12 |
| h/t HotAir ...The detail that sticks out most in my mind about his hospitalization was how many medications he received, including and especially dexamethasone. That’s the steroid that doctors resort to in "severe" cases. The use of "dex" and the experimental antibody treatment he received from Regeneron were proof enough that the daily sunny updates from his physicians weren’t the whole story. "The official WH word was essentially (a) the president is completely fine and (b) here are the 19 designer drugs we’ve put him on, fingers crossed," as Derek Thompson put it. Obviously he had a bad case. We just didn’t know until now how bad. We know that severe Covid can cause mental deterioration - could explain his around Elections behavior. I wonder - how'd the election go if he, using Covid as a reason, stepped aside for Mike Pence? |

| #19 Trump was at death's door ... for 3 days. His miraculous Jesus-like resurrection should scare the bejeezus out of the left. |

| #17 At the time, Trump's oxygen levels went down to something like 70%. What was amazing was his speedy recovery with treatment. |

| #14 Dexamethasone is NOT the medications doctors resort to in "severe" cases. In addition the Regeron 2 pack of monoclonal antibodies Trump received is now available nationwide (prepaid by the federal government) for outpatient infusion to high risk recently diagnosed COVID-19 patients at many infusion centers near you. This treatment is specifically NOT for severely ill COVID-19 patients. Entire source article is worthless. |

| #12 You mean they haven't blamed it on one of his "super spreader" rallies? But it was odd that some of his staff got COVID after the debate [sic] in Cleveland. |

| #11 If it has ANYTHING to do with Trump Allahpundit is a totally worthless source. |

| #10 Bullshit. Wasn't he on the 'Trump is faking because he lost the debate and wants sympathy points' wagon? I'd bet his breath stinks so bad vultures fly around him. |

| #7 If he was that bad then his recovery was amazing. He wasn't out for very long and he was giving stump speeches not long after that. So clearly this is a lie, or Trump is super-human, or whatever his doctors gave him should be available in every Hospital in the world as fast as possible. |

| #6 In short, they gave him the standard of care that might have saved my sister's life and my mom's lung capacity. Instead, the usual guys look at this and, well, jump into the gleichschaltung. The weaponized virus is half the problem, the other half is the weaponized gleichschaltung. I'm so glad I found that word, I kept trying to make omerta fit. |

| #4 Deathly ill for about three days. 100% great before and after. Right. |

| #3 So-called “Allahpundit” is a closet progressive, a severe Antitrumper TDS mental midget. He is why I give Redstate ZERO credibility. As long as they have him vomiting up the products of his progressive ass kissing onto their site, the editorial judgement of the entire site should be called into question. |

| #2 Here we are a few months later and the Biden White House is leaking health information about President Trump to The New York Times. |

| #1 Is this battlespace preparation for imminent leaks re Biden's cognitive decline that will pave the way for a Harris administration? |
