    The Co-Chair of Commission on Presidential Debates just said they are relying on their medical advisers, the , regarding Covid testing protocols for debates — which only require negative test within the last 72 hrs. How is that adequate? Hope can explain.

    Lots of questions about dexamethasone (steroid). Yes, some steroids used for lots of things, even minor skin rashes. For Covid-19, however, dexamethasone only recommended for hospitalized patients on ventilators or requiring supplemental oxygen. Not for mild symptoms.

    Some of the best doctors I know are D.O.’s. Incredibly well trained in all aspects of medicine. Please drop this debate.

    Sanjay Gupta with some real talk about some of the meds Trump is on (including the steroid) - it makes you have false energy and engage in behavior that is not what the doctor would like to see.

    Thank you and for seeing us, showing empathy and recognizing the families of those who lost a loved one to COVID-19. It’s been a tough few days. But we will continue to fight to keep the memory of our dad, Paul J. Foley, Jr. alive.

    I speak to a lot of drug makers and I don’t know anyone in the pharmaceutical industry who raised any objections over this guidance. These standards have been broadly communicated for months and they were well understood across the industry.

    Once the patient knows, understands and believes the medical facts, they are far more likely to abide by the treatment plan and take the disease seriously. (20/20)

    More importantly, I hope it doesn’t suggest that they aren't being completely honest and forthright to their patient, the president. As a neurosurgeon, I know delivering tough news to a patient is one of our most challenging tasks. But, that makes it no less important. (19/20)

    Are they throwing the “kitchen sink” at him because he is the president or is this an indication of more serious disease? Both can also be true, but we need to hear that. (18/20)

    I don't question the excellent medical care being provided by these doctors -- but I do hope they keep him in the hospital long enough to recover. The doctors are painting a rosy picture, but the aggressive treatments tell a different story. (17/20)

    Studies show day 7-10 are often the worst in the course of the illness. That’s why the fuzzy timeline is so important. He will also need to continue his isolation at the WH and anyone who interacts with him will need to be wearing Personal Protective Equipment. (16/20)

    If the president is discharged today, it should mean that he has no longer needed supplemental oxygen, that he has been fever free (off fever reducing meds) for at least a day and has no other evidence of worsening organ function or inflammation. (15/20)

    It's a dodge -- if there are signs of pneumonia, that changes the prognosis. Abnormal lung findings, episodes of low O2 and a course of dexamethasone collectively all imply something more significant than his doctors are letting on. (14/20)
