I also mean somewhat of a god/messiah complex (informally) for having 'beaten' this or however he'll spin it to make it seem less deadly.

I mean he's already literally doing that. But if he somehow survives this beyond the critical spots he'll be strutting about it as much as he can.

yeah, he is just putting off the inevitable. doing this poo poo with a MASSIVE steroid boost with out fixing the underlying issues will possibly kill him.

It's almost like he took the exact same approach to beating covid as he's taken to winning the economy. Inject steroids into the stock market/his body while ignoring (and obviously failing to address) the fundamentals.

Yeah I thought it was just libs being libs and seeing imaginary things in Trump but he really does legitimately look like barely walking garbage.

And that’s him on steroids. If this doofus is truly that stupid, he’s probably doing to die like Stalin.

Has there been any discussion about how dexamethasone is meant to be administered later, when the immune system is going bonkers? All I've read about it suggests that taking it early might even make things worse by suppressing the immune response.

Remdesivir makes sense early on, but it's delivered intravenously and is typically a 5+ day treatment. I don't know much about the Regeneron treatment, but it sounds like it is also suitable early on.

I'm almost done watching that special TWiV episode, recorded today. Daniel Griffin is pretty confident that Trump was past day 7 of symptoms on Friday when he went to Walter Reed and he's in that second week.

Week one: viral infection, use remdesivir and antibody cocktail
Week two: cytokine storm, lungs getting hosed up, need O2, use steroids

Meaning he could "decompensate" and crash any day. Also that he was probably symptomatic with fatigue and maybe other symptoms for up to a week before Friday, including at the debate. He wasn't getting tested daily or he tested positive and they lied about it until he was too sick to cover it up.

I don't know this show but TWiV is "This Week in Virology" a series by a Virology Professor at Columbia University.

Here's a link to where they discuss the steroid use and speculation on where Trump's likely at on the infection timeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFpp3pIRjGQ&t=974s

Trump killing himself (or at least doing himself serious long term damage) out of a desire to look strong in the very short term is just so on brand. Shame that other people will have to suffer for this too.

I also listened to that TWiV special, and they confirmed that, yeah, both Remdesivir and Regeneron are best suited to the early viral phase. Trump likey got little to no benefit from it.

We don't know and in fact the Trump administration probably doesn't know. They've treated all countermeasures with contempt and even now aren't doing contact tracing.

His medical team won’t or can’t answer when he last had negative test. There’s a theory that he wasn’t being tested on a regular basis *at all*, that only those around him were being tested.

This would mean that there was a gap in testing until he started showing symptoms, which I guess was Thursday? So, it’s entirely plausible that he was contagious at the debate, though probably not out of cunning but rather gross malfeasance.
