1 hr 30 min ago President Trump is receiving several different treatments for Covid-19

"It is not over 'til it's over"

One doctor, fwiw, said he thought Trump looked as though he had a moderate dose of it. It wasn't a doctor treating him.

Whatever, Trump probably has a better chance of getting through catching the virus than any other victim in the world.

President Donald Trump's physicians are giving him several different treatments — including investigational drugs — in the hope of relieving his Covid-19 symptoms and possibly shortening his course of illness.

While many questions remain about the President's condition and when he was first diagnosed with the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, here is what has been revealed so far about what he was been treated with — and when.

Regeneron's monoclonal antibody therapy: On Friday afternoon, the White House said in a letter that Trump was treated with an 8-gram dose of the experimental antibody therapy cocktail made by the biotechnology company Regeneron. The investigational cocktail, known by its investigational name REGN-COV2 .. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-covid-19-updates-saturday/h_572663cbb8d11ac73cf2fe1aba6f72d9 , has been in clinical trials since June.

Remdesivir: President Trump is being given a five-day course of the antiviral drug remdesivir, one of the doctors treating him said during a briefing on Saturday. The treatment is intended to shorten recovery time for Covid-19 patients. In a Phase 3 clinical trial .. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/01/health/remdesivir-coronavirus-phase-iii-trial-gilead-study/index.html , remdesivir was found to speed recovery in moderately ill patients with pneumonia from Covid-19, according to results published in the medical journal JAMA .. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2769871 .. in August.

Dexamethasone: Trump was given the corticosteroid drug dexamethasone on Saturday after his oxygen level transiently dipped, White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said during a briefing on Sunday. The drug is typically given to patients on supplemental oxygen or needing ventilation.

Supplemental oxygen: After previously telling reporters on Saturday that Trump "is not on oxygen right now," White House physician Conley said during a briefing on Sunday that the President had been given supplemental oxygen and had two episodes of transient drops in his oxygen level .. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-covid-19-updates-sunday/h_31badb97a6c2c9092ac9403306381e19 . Oxygen therapy .. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/oxygen-therapy?c , or supplemental oxygen, is a treatment that delivers oxygen gas for patients to breathe who may have difficulty breathing.

Guaranteed Trump will use the word miracle many times. As if he especially is worthy of a miracle, i mean.

He will tell us what he has learned without understanding we knew most of it before he got hit.

And he will continue to repeatedly tell us about what a great man he is - again.
