....was just around the corner per trump---I wonder which corner he was talking about.
Apparently hydroxychloroquine failed, as the medical experts have cautioned all along.
May trump and the First Lady recover quickly.

May trump and the First Lady recover quickly.
Yes, I agree with whoever in the NYT said this is the greatest threat to the Presidency since Reagan was shot.
What will be the verdict on HCQ (?) if he turns out to be asymptomatic? I'm interested to see this storyline evolve.
Regardless, I hope they recover well. Same as for everyone. Thumbup
Think we all expected that as he was careless avoiding it.
Hopefully it's a mild case and they recover. The bigger questions are the what if it gets worse.
Not unprecedented — the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Boris Johnson, had a serious case.
He is being transferred to Walter Reed now.
I wish him well, he will have better care there than at the White House.
Well as a guy that spent a little over a day in a ICU/Covid ward last weekend I can say there's no way they are going to turn the fan off or allow any one in other than trained staff into the room. So I'll say that's a very lonely feeling and just as you start getting some rest there will be someone coming in to check on you or taking blood, etc.
While hoping it's a mild case one does wonder why the "extra" precautions it does make you feel there's more to the story.
The President is on his way to the hospital.. wish him well..
Walter Reed is the new name of Bethesda Naval Hospital.. The original Walter reed was several miles South East on Georgia Avenue in The District, it was closed (BRACed) and the name moved to Bethesda... the current Walter Reed is not the same Walter Reed that was involved in a patient care scandal 10 or so years ago..
My dad spent two month or so in Bethesda Naval in the late 90’s.. there has been much construction since I was roaming the halls..
The VIP quartet were formally located in the old tower.. there is now a new building on the south side of the hospital, news reports hint that the new building is the VIP suite..
Just an FYI.. all local news here..
Thanks for that information, Sandman. I had no idea the hospitals had changed.
Why are they making a big deal out of the fact that he may have needed supplemental oxygen? Effing Doc was dodging the questions... Idiot, it becomes obvious what the answer is after you dodge it ...I hate morons..
You can't believe anything anyone says about Trump's illness.
Obviously the lies haven't taken a break :shrug:
I remain impressed by how poorly organized they are---all you need do to change the narrative is ask someone else. Yesterday's "unidentified source" contradicting the doctor turned out to be Meadows.
Quote:
Just minutes after the president’s doctors painted a rosy picture of his condition on television, Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, gave reporters outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center a far more sober assessment off camera, calling Mr. Trump’s vital signs worrisome and warning that the next two days would be pivotal to the outcome of the illness.
“The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning, and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care,” Mr. Meadows told the reporters, asking not to be identified by name. “We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.
In keeping with the ground rules he had set, Mr. Meadows’s remarks were attributed, in a pool report sent to White House journalists, to a person familiar with the president’s health. But a video posted online captured Mr. Meadows approaching the pool reporters outside Walter Reed after the doctors’ televised briefing and asking to speak off the record, making it clear who the unnamed source was.”
President Trump took HCQ for a short time in May with his doctor issuing a statement, “White House doctor Sean P. Conley said that after numerous discussions about hydroxychloroquine, he had concluded "the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks." He was not taking HCQ since including now, spokesman said. Maybe that was his problem. We will never know.
But there is a happier side — he, or whomever would have paid his drug bill outside his insurance formulary, saved the $1.35/wk expense that regimen would have cost @ $0.65 for HCQ once per week and $0.10 for zinc 7 times/wk.
I have to be cautious by admitting that, like much of POTUS’ medical history, we do not know if he had any adverse reaction to his taking the drug in May, such as upset stomach or an ultra-rare increased heart arrhythmia.
I just tried to listen to the video of his cameo last night---I confess I did not make it to the end. It was vintage trump BS, with one exception, apparently the make-up people weren't aloud in and his orange paint has faded. Do you think he can comb his own hair---I can only guess how long that might take.

The pettiness of TDS is all-consuming and unrepressable it seems.
Might as well kick him when he’s down before he gets up and kicks their collective azzes...again. :shrug:
I suggest that a touch of humility and honesty would have been not only appropriate but also a positive change--but alas those traits remain beyond his ability.
I do not confuse humility with getting the job done that I want and think we need. I’ll take his boorish demeanor in exchange.
Compare him with the suave & slick zer’O who proved incompetent. The grifting never-done-anything-in-his-life-but-stand-off-Corn-Pop, Joe Biden, will be worse.
I just listened to the medical briefing, if we were not talking about the condition of the POTUS, the amateurism of the lies might be funny---essentially he said---OK---I lied yesterday but trust me today----of course we will doc:rolleyes2:
One guy’s doc does not release his patient’s medical chart and the other guy is for open borders and paying all the illegals’ medical bills with my tax money. Now which should I choose? How long do I get to decide (tick-tock, tick-tock). This is really a hard one!:uhh:
When you have no argument to mount you always seem to run off with an attempt at deflection. I do have a measure of empathy for you---you have chosen a hard road to follow.
My empathy goes for those that are so full of hatred, to the point of abject obsession that they filter the news through cheese cloth ever waking moment to find something hateful, mean and repetitive to the point of a manic rage, and come here and post it literally hundreds of times.
Trump is reportedly doing so well that it is said he may be released Monday. If that happens or shortly thereafter, the usual suspects will not find anything good about it, so let’s anticipate how it would be received —
#he was faking it/he never had the Chi-Com Flu,
#his pressure to be released early will result in added danger to himself & others,
#he is still sick as a dog that he is, and the release is purely political theater,
#he received care only he could ever get, and it’s unfair,
#he will only flaunt his new immunity, which will be a terrible example,
#he is too lucky and not humble enough with his good fortune,
#he brought it upon himself by his lax attitude, so he deserves worse,
#we don’t know how but he cheated like he always does,
#he needs to go to jail for this or be impeached, or both,
#why couldn’t he just die in misery like he deserves.
The TDS sufferers have a remarkable propensity for surprising with their hatred, so I’m guessing they will come up with more examples should Trump recover quickly and without the proper degree of the virus’ retribution.
The drive by stunt was as stupid as one could expect of the guy.
The whole thing is fascinating. The divisions between the camps are getting wider and more petty as has been pointed out.
The paranoid left has become irrational in their criticism of those of us on the other side. The NYT just oozed with snarky disdain over the gall of those of us who dare to live our lives. There were multiple examples of poor self-imprisoned inmates who are torturing themselves, who just don't understand how someone would want to go on with life.
The news is chock full of myriad examples of how Trumps every move is a case study in worst practices. And the media is pulling its hair out because they can't get any straight answers. They just don't understand that there are still people out there killing pigs and making toilet paper. And they won't until the teet gets jerked away.
Trump must be improving when the conversation turns again to bad manners.
My favorite paragraph from the Warshingdon Post this morning:
Wow, someones feelers are hurt.Quote:
The episode continued what has been a days-long torrent of falsehoods, obfuscation, evasion, misdirection and imprecision from those surrounding Trump as he faces the greatest threat to a president’s health in decades. From the chief White House doctor to the president’s chief of staff, the inability to provide clear, direct and consistent information about Trump’s condition has been widespread since the coronavirus began rapidly circulating in the West Wing.
HIPPA aside, everyone knows that when the argument becomes about the Presidents rude behavior the state media has lapsed back to its overt manipulation.
Something I am associated with is having goobermint test results withheld because of hippa. So much for managing an outbreak.:rolleyes:
I was glad to see him up and about.Thumbup
I have no interest in raising the angst of all who suffer, without rest, from TDS---I have no doubt that trying to excuse, spin, rationalize, divert and simply deny the actions of trump is supremely stressful.
I offer you, who are suffering from this malady, my heartfelt sympathy.:flower:
I guess you haven't been reading what other agents are saying about Trump putting them at risk.
Well, he could use the exercise :)
