Tornado Alley (PROG)

[DrContango]

Donny is extremely ill.

Dexamethasone (Decadron) is an extremely potent steroid, orders of magnitude stronger than that Medrol Dose Pack most of us have taken. Often during the midst of a life-threatening event, this drug can induce intense short lived euphoria.

He’ll have to be weaned soon; most likely he will crash after steroid withdrawal

He looks very unwell in tonite’s vid.

There’s an excellent chance that he will crash in several days from the virus itself.

And there’s an excellent chance that he will end up on a blower.

And if on a vent, his mortality rate can approach 25-50%.

And if he survives the vent, based on all of his comorbidities, he has an excellent chance of suffering from some permanent debility.

But, hey, it is what it is...
