TRUMP GOT COVID

before asking a few secret service dudes to join him on a death-ride, trump put out another video. in that video, he closed with these important thoughts:

“I learned a lot about covid. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn’t the ‘let’s read the book’ school. And I get it, and I understand it. And it’s a very interesting thing, and I’m going to be letting you know about it.”

Lol i hope your dick falls off you fucking fraud

A version of what Miller was saying, so expect a lot of that if he recovers: "I've had the virus, so I understand it. I understand it in a way that Healthy--I mean, Sleepy Joe Biden never could."

It'll basically be a mirror of his you-have-to-be-corrupt-yourself to fix it strategy from 2016. I'm pretty sure the laughability of this will be transparent to most.

Reminds me of Boris’s Thursday night appearance to clap for the NHS four days after confirming he had it. Three days later he’s in ICU.

See if Trump was tanking the election and highly likely to be voted out in a few weeks... why are the markets so volatile to his illness? If he gets sick/dies does the market expect Pence to suddenly reverse a bunch of deals and tariffs

the stock market is responsive to very stupid and pointless things imo

“I learned a lot about covid. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn’t the ‘let’s read the book’ school. And I get it, and I understand it."

That's called experience, you dipshit

sorry for putting this on your timeline but :09 the audio very obviously jumps and :48 the morph edit is obvious. I need to go outside now lol https://t.co/NWuJAPChE3

Gotta love what's happening

listen i discourage reading any of these bunker transmissions for actual signs of trump's decline but he sounds... different

I was thinking the same thing

me too. i sense a greater strain to shit these words out, in a manner of speaking.

I think they're editing out any wheezing.

he doesn't seem to have pneumonia or anything though

He’s not tweeting and he’s taking insane drugs.

I love how CNN is having none of it

When’s his day 10? Probably late this week? Let’s see if he’s making videos then

"Let's Read The Book School" has legs. Hope it gets the meme coverage it deserves.

day 10 from symptoms i reckon would be.. a week from today-ish.

i'm just going to post this one again.

'beached thing' indeed

i'm not sure i get what those three images are doing together?

yeah Day 10 *should* be this weekend though who knows when he actually started showing symptoms, not like they'd fucking tell anybody

they said they're discharging him from the hospital tomorrow?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NuaK29J1fM

they're catapulting him out of the hospital, he'll land in St Louis

just send him straight to topeka please

I'd like topeka at that image

so shittiest possible scenario is he does have a mild case, this was all precautionary, and he spends the next month being hailed as a hero while bleating nonstop about how the disease really ain't that bad

seems likeliest

oh I forgot 2 weeks of NYT and WaPo articles like "FACT CHECK: Did "like, all the Democrats" wish Trump dead?"

nothing about the treatments he's had sound mild whatsoever. even if he comes through.

he's getting access to experimental treatments you and I don't have.

hasn't it been suggested a lot of that is precautionary though?

sorry folks we must still assume we are on the hellworld timeline

it's been suggested that much of the treatment given is intended for people who are in critical condition and that it would be non-beneficial and possibly harmful to perform on someone as a 'precaution'.

at least one of the experimental treatments is actively makes things WORSE for people who don't have already severe covid symptoms, i think. as in, he wouldn't receive it unless he was in a bad way.

xp

he's getting access to experimental treatments you and I don't have.

I'd heard that what he's getting is the same as others but I don't know how we'd really know either way

he might be requesting a bunch of weird stuff he'd heard about and they're complying even if it wouldn't usually be clinically indicated

I mean there's a probably at least a 5% chance that A) they're lying about what he's taking for some reason (just as he quite obviously lied about taking hydrocholoroquine) or B) he died 15 minutes ago and we're not gonna find out until his doctor slips up and says "we were very pleased with the results of his autopsy". idk what to say. this administration has successfully gaslit me.

xp...that too...see: the tweet I posted from a doctor saying he's never in 35 years seen a patient refuse oxygen. this Dr. Nick Riveria guy they got making statements now is clearly not telling the truth here and that's obviously at the direction of the President. it's all so fucking bizarre.

Yeah the doctors at Walter Reed are technically military and are technically directly answerable to their commander in chief, so they're potentially compromised by this sociopath in a way that civilian doctors wouldn't be.

xposts

If this commander in chief ordered me to inject him with sublethal doses from the pharmacopoeia, I would comply. But I still wouldn't let him out of the isolation ward. Hell, I'd never let him see a health care worker not in full PPE gear. Hippocratic oath should take precedence.

at least one of the experimental treatments is actively makes things WORSE for people who don't have already severe covid symptoms, i think. as in, he wouldn't receive it unless he was in a bad way.

if it weren't for the fact that he isn't tweeting, i'd think the most likely explanation for this is:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/04/health/trump-covid-treatment.html

Some experts raised an additional possibility: that the president is directing his own care, and demanding intense treatment despite risks he may not fully understand. The pattern even has a name: V.I.P. syndrome, which describes prominent figures who receive poor medical care because doctors are too zealous in treating them — or defer too readily to their instructions.

but combined with the no tweets thing and the weird proof of live videos, i dunno.

were i trump's doctor i would inject him with ligma

this isn’t known for sure, but yeah, the subgroup analysis of the RECOVERY trial did suggest increased mortality in people who weren’t on supplemental oxygen at randomization. the confidence interval crossed the null and subgroup analyses are generally interpreted cautiously, but there is a biologically plausible explanation (in mild/early disease antiviral therapy is most important, in later/severe, anti-inflammatories) so we generally believe this until there are better data
if he were MY patient I would not give him dex unless he were hypoxic, but the fact is that VIP patients often get *maximal*, not necessarily evidence-based or optimal, care. hence the vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin, cat’s paw, and all the other shit his quack doc conley had him on initially

oh caek just made that second point too

Geez, I took both Vitamin D and Melatonin tonight.

50 CCs of Sunny D, stat!

Amid speculation on treatments more appropriate for critical patients, the NYT article's sole positives were "the fact that Mr. Trump is walking on his own, and that he delivered video statements in which he was able to complete sentences without gasping for breath." Since it's quite obvious that all the released videos have mid-speech edits, things might not be so good for Asshole.
