      The thing to keep in mind is the experimental cocktail they've given to Trump isn't what ordinary Covid patients get -- in fact, as far as I can tell no one has ever been given this combination.

      You mean the combo of the two things or the things themselves ?

      Maybe I'm misunderstanding the reporting but it sounded like the combo of the two things and the earliness of giving the doses they did (if he's only tested positive on Thursday) were not in line with what is normally done.

          That’s because he really got infected earlier and they didn’t test him until he got symptoms/Hicks got symptoms

          Early course steroids is very unusual as they tend to suppress the immune system as a means of preventing a cytokine storm (along with all the other side effects), but maybe the monoclonal antibodies balance out that effect. Nothing like experimenting on POTUS!

          you are 100% correct, and the euphoria/mania inducing steroid (demoxtheosensensen, or whatever it is) isnt given except in severe cases, mortality rate if you have it is ~25%

          So basically the cocktail+steroids speedball?

          Replying to @HeerJeet @joshtpm @neeratanden

          The time line of his illness doesn’t make sense; it generally takes a week or more from first positive PCR to needing oxygen. I think he got sick days earlier and either lied about his test results or skipped getting tested to keep it under wraps.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @joshtpm @neeratanden

          I’m guessing Trump was symptomatic before the debate with Biden, was feeling run down, and was treated with steroids, thus creating his debate mania.
