This is why social distancing, hand sanitizer and wearing a mask matters, this virus is very easily spread. The aide who first become ill was just in their company not coughing and sneezing all over them or sharing drinks, straws, water bottle, food etc.
Testing no matter how frequent only detects the virus.
Until we get a vaccine, wearing a mask is our only way of protecting ourselves and our loved ones.
Bannon is still a kid
kids need their fathers (and mothers)
So i hope they both get better
Be nice if thriugh the whole experience the POTUS learns a thing or two
... If this is even real, and not just an elaborate attention grab...
There is early treatment that President Trump’s doctor is well aware of. The Trumps would hopefully be on early treatment. The country of India has recommended official treatment protocols on a federal and state by state basis (Uttar Pradesh for example). Taiwan also has an official early treatment protocol, Peru, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Brazil, Honduras, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Senegal, all of these countries and many more have official medical treatments for early stage COVID19. All people should be aware of this fact. All people should also be aware of the one over the counter early (and Pre-exposure) treatment that Fauci has mentioned and that is vitamin D taken to sufficiency, which is part of many official protocols. Please don’t think there is nothing that can be done but wait out COVID19 with fever reducers. Take early action.
I think you’re referring to Barron Trump and I agree with you, but if not this is a pretty sly burn![]()
There is so much they still don’t know about Covid. The initial symptoms can be non existent or reasonably severe in the first 10 days and then people start to recover or things go “pear shaped”. They don’t fully understand why this is so. The virus affects the lungs but also affects other organs as it seems to change the viscosity of the blood. This is why people with poorer “heart health” can be more adversely affected, their heart can’t cope with the stress of pumping the more viscous blood. That has caused blood clotting (remember the American guy who had his leg amputated) so they give blood thinners which can then in turn cause brain bleeds aka a stroke.
Many of the “treatments” for particular aspects of the virus can have significant adverse side effects. Being put on a ventilator helps you breathe but also causes damage to the lungs, this is why the latest protocol is to delay ventilating until absolutely necessary. Blood thinners make it easier for your heart to pump blood but can lead to uncontrollable bleeding and in the brain this is devastating (and how/whythe guy who had his leg amputated died).
The President may well have heart issues, this goes hand in hand with advanced age and being overweight. He may also be pre diabetic, another indicator for a poorer prognosis. We will all have to sit out the next few weeks to see how the virus affects him.
I would think that the president and all in his circle were being tested on a frequent basis so this infection was caught very early on. They'll be able to take advantage of early treatment and have the very best medical care.
But can you expand on taking early action...did you mean about vitamin D? Or are you saying that if someone suspects they might have symptoms they should get tested right away and if positive, ask for early treatment? People I know that have been tested recently have been sent home to isolate and wait for results, which have fortunately turned out negative. I'm wondering If there's a protocol for early treatment in the US?
