Maybe Ivermectin too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSJRyYf01H8&feature=youtu.be&t=482

Wouldn't it be more likely that he chooses one of the vaccines that have been under development since then? He could probably get one of them before FDA approval comes through. Six months ago, he might have taken the hydroxyquiline as the best available treatment at the time.

Meh, even for someone of Trump's age, this isn't a death sentence.

Chances are pretty low he's going to die, or even get significantly sick. (Especially with the finest medical care in the world, as he has.)

We'll see what happens over the next 2 weeks.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

And if he comes out cured they'll all say all this was just a political stunt. You know, something the dems would never do

Right now is the time for him to take HCQ. The way it works is that it helps prevent the virus from getting into the cell, and slowing down the infection, giving your immune system time to beat it.

Uhm....

Vaccines don't do jack *expletive deleted*it for you if you have the illness.

A vaccine isn't a cure to an active illness.

In fact, if you have the illness and get a vaccine it can make things a LOT worse.

They can help your immune system get going faster and reducing the severity of the illness, but how much can vary.

I will be interested to see if he insists on being treated with hydroxyquinoline.

I seem to remember he has been taking it all along as a precaution.

Hopefully, he and his wife will recover quickly.

That's a theraputic vaccine, which is not the same thing as a preventative vaccine. The concept for theraputic vaccines has been around for roughly 100 years... The practice, however, is a far different story, as theraputic vaccines are FAR from being developed for most diseases.

As I said, trying to use a preventative vaccine in a theraputic manner can be a VERY bad thing, and I seriously doubt there would be any doctor or pharmaceutical company out there that would sign on to trying an unproven, still-in-development preventative vaccine in a therapeutic manner, especially not on the frigging President of the United States.

I thought he was, too. In fact, I seem to remember that the White House doctor was denounced in "the media" as a quack for agreeing to let the POTUS take the stuff.

Apparently he is not.
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

What the [bleep] is a "moral identity"? Is that like a secret identity, a la Superman and Clark Kent, where you have a real identity and then you have a "moral identity" you hide behind when you don't want people to see the real you?

Trump to spend some time at Walter Reed.

I am skeptical that the President is being admitted as an inpatient solely from 'an abundance of caution'.

I thought it was so he could be installed in the Golden Throne, to rule mankind for 10,000 years.
