    DO and MDs are equivalent profession wise with DO having less stringent admissions criteria but ultimately able to sit for all the same tests MDs are.

    On top of that, DOs,while in old fashioned times, had a stigma, are taught to address illness from a whole body approach, which some people prefer.

    Just like drunk driving accidents. Its usually the drunk who walks away alive after killing others with their reckless negligent behavior.

    I'd like to hear the Trump supporters' views on this incompetent behavior, and why they defend it.

    Really? Do you also shave your legs with a cheese grater? (Apologies for image, but the activities seem very similar.)

    So basically, they gave him Dexamethasone to recover his O2 sats, and now they think he's good to go home? Seems a risky political play...

    Trump already has no respiratory symptoms! What a boss!

    Covid is no match for him.

    Yeah, amazing how being tested every day, having instant access to round the clock medical care, and helicopters flying you straight to the hospital can help. Others don't get that. Nope, Trump, and his no mask group of morons are Covid spreading fools. I feel so sorry for the other 30,108 people in hospitals right now. What about the 5,997 in an ICU right now? What about the 1,504 hooked up to ventilators right now fighting for their lives?

    Those are the victims. Those are the ones who don't deserve this. Trump, the maskless morons, and the GOP are the super spreaders.

    meanwhile you have to be practically dying to get a test.. and your " hospital" is dying at home..on deaths door in ambulance THEN they might admit you.

    if you are lucky that is. my brother in law tested positive early in the virus sick as a dog it took him passing out and ambulance to get admitted. he is rich too.
    this isnt even about money its becoming like 3rd world where you gotta know the right people ,bribe, who can get you in.

    "oh you have hospital hookups?"

    Exactly!!! Let's also not forget about all those people in this country with affordable health care. Trump promised a health care plan better than Obama, yet did nothing. No plan, just more promises again right before election. Lies upon lies, promises upon promises. Ugh

    Ugh.. I keep going back and forth on this. What if the antibodies are a dud and the remdesivir turns out to be dud as well? It reduces symptoms, not necessarily eliminates. Despite the White House PCP trying to hide it, Trump has pneumonia and that takes 3-5 days to coalesce into ARDS in COVID. Looking at the nomogram, Trump has a 33% chance of dying from COVID, right now.

    Pray this man does not get intubated in the next two days.

    I'm saying that too to other people I know. People don't get it. It's the truth though.

    They won't let people know the truth but you can read between the lines.

    The fake photos are telling enough.

    the antichrist is supposed to survive its brush with death:

    One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast

    I think it's wishful thinking he goes down for the count. Fake photos of him working on stuff is no sign of anything nefarious in my opinion. I believe that if it were anyone else in power, the tactics of what image to portray would not be much different. If they're going to release him, it's probably because there's not anything else they can really do for him that they can't do at the white house. He's only a helicopter ride away if danger arises again. I really believe any administration would want to portray an image of having things under control even if it could go sideways at any moment. You cross that bridge when you get to it.
