Fwiw the head of our federal Conservative party has (or had? I haven't kept up) covid, as does the leader of the separatist Bloc Québécois, and I, for one, am totally cool with that.

I do think that yes, if you're a Dem pol or left-wing media personality you probably shouldn't say anything but if you do "thoughts and prayers" is fine because everyone on the right is licking their chops right now at the potential "THE LEFT WANTS YOU TO GET SICK AND DIE" campaign they so want to run right now and given that Biden is way way ahead right now I think any chaos is by definition bad

sure, "I wish you dead" is absolutely not off the table, it's just bizarre reading people say "he wished him well! how could he wish him well?" with zero irony when those same people probably know full well that if you get an email from someone ending in "I wish you well" then you know to never contact them again for the rest of your life

Ok.
The biotechnology company Regeneron released a report earlier this week on its experimental coronavirus antibody cocktail, which the president is now taking to treat his symptoms.
CNN reports:
Regeneron released some early results of tests using its antibody cocktail in coronavirus patients Tuesday, and said it seemed to reduce levels of the virus and improve symptoms in patients.
The greatest improvements were seen in patients who hadn’t already mounted a natural response to the infection, the company said. ...
The treatment also showed positive trends at reducing medical visits for the patients, none of whom were sick enough to be hospitalized at the start of the trial, the company said.
It’s important to note the results only involved 275 patients, and the Regeneron data has not yet been peer-reviewed.

Is this a “Christ he is really bad try anything” deal
Consider. Once the virus has multiplied to the point of symptoms emerging the course of the disease is entirely a fight between the body's immune response and the virus' ability to spread into new host cells. All current treatments are simply attempts to ease the symptoms long enough for the patient's immune response to prevail. Trump is far enough advanced to show symptoms and he's very clearly a high risk individual, meaning his immune response can't be relied on to win that battle.
The monoclonal antibody treatment is still experimental, but it is the best available treatment that can directly boost immune response. They are jumping on it now because it is a binary yes-no decision and there is no virtue in waiting. The virus is already established and the sooner you act, the better the chance for the treatment to work.
