he doesn’t have a message. he just hides while cycling down on his drug regimen and lets trump self-destruct
Biden’s message is Trump is a clown and Trump is doing his best to amplify that message.

I heard he has a real fear of hospitals. Is that true?
Yes, but like most things Trump the way he thinks about is a mess of contradictions. He is often referred to as a germophobe, but the way that presents is less about germ theory and seems far more a case of just hating “poor people” and being concerned they will give something to him. It’s why he can refuse to go to a hospital to see a dying friend because he (not unreasonably) thinks hospitals are a cesspit, but will raw dog a porn star.
The reality is, if you are someone he looks down on, which is most people, he will demand space and no touching. If he wants something from you, he will lick their sweaty ball sack in the hope that some of their status rubs off on him.

I don’t know. He has been a notorious germaphobe for years, so it would not be surprising.

Apparently he’s both an inconsistent germophobe and an inconsistent germanophobe.

Is that something he can continually take for the next month, and are we likely to see some sort of crash from him when he stops taking it?
He is second-generation German, just hates his own family

Unfortunately experts like Peter Doherty (nobel prize winning immunologist) have said that the dose of monoclonal antibody he’s preportedly received should deal with excess virus for couple of weeks and, if caught early and hasn’t got into body organs outside the lung (likely?!), then mAbs should control the infection and he’ll be OK.

Exactly, while at the same time wanting to fuck it. As I said, inconsistency.

I have little doubt that he will recover, but he is not done yet.

He will have to as it has a long weaning period and doing that too aggressively can cause psychotic breaks. I’m not sure you’d able to tell with this guy though.
There are physicians outright stating that simply being on it is grounds for enacting the 25th amendment.

That is assuming this works, but this cocktail is still experimental, and it’s unclear how much of a fit Trump’s presentation and case was to how it is being studied.
But 2 important things come out of this - the two big therapeutic wins this administration has pushed, HCQ and convalescent plasma - when it was his own health, he took neither

I’m not sure about this. I don’t think he necessarily would need to continue tsking the Regeneron mAbs cocktail. The Dexamethasone presumably would be quickly titrated down and (if he was behaving reasonably and isolating and not fearful of being ‘weak’ for having o2) could possibly be replaced or at least augmented by o2.
But I am not a respiratory specialist nor a COVID researcher so I really have NFI
Yep. Exactly and hope media make more of this.
I dont know what the dosing is for this, but that wasnt really my point. That was that this IS still experimental. The theory is well substantiated, but we have limited data on how well this cocktail works for this virus. It is therefore very premature to speak about his likely response to taking this. I think what Doherty lays out is a reasonable surmation based on the overall class of treatment, but it really is up in the air.

of course. But it is a reasonable course of action for a POTUS with a clearly very high risk profile re SARCOV-2. I think my point is that, having taken this course, he could well be largely medicine free. One of the key points here is that he has been treated very early and - based on the background science - this suggests an efficacy that may be outside study. The lucky orange turd
My suspicion is that he is dominated by the virus to the point he had to fake the illness* in order to gain a bit more popularity. And the disgusting thing is that it will work. 
*We were told he had symptoms and had to be transported to the hospital, and yet, here he is, back at the white house hardly 24 hours after that, in full form. It doesn’t sum up. This guy is the very symbol of fake news.

he isnt in full form. If you look closely at him talking, he sounds a little breathless and he looks a bit thinner or gaunt than he usually does. He appears to be holding up because of the drugs he is taking.
I think he is probably too arrogant to fake getting Covid 19. Lets not forget, it wasnt the white house that first broke the news that WH people had it. And it appears he knew he had it when going off to the fund raiser. That doesnt sound like someone faking the illness.

Agreed. He’s doing this to down play the seriousness of it. Nothing more.
And yet there were over 42,000 cases and nearly 700 deaths(on average) in the US yesterday. How people remain so ignorant of that still astounds me.
And his attitude towards it is nothing but disgusting
