If Trump and Christie can lick this...why should I be worried?

These two fatties have made it through to the other side of Covid. Now I am wondering, have things changed regarding the serious outcomes? Where are the Washington Post stories of the outlier marathon runners who are near death? Is it truly less lethal? Or has the media just just moved on to other things?

If you don’t understant statistics, probably not worth explaining to you. And they got treatements you won’t have access to.

They both had access to treatment that the general public does not.

Doctors have learned a lot about how to treat covid since March, and those in power get gold star celebrity treatment. Keep an eye on the death rates in the upper age groups. Right now the general death rates are skewed by all the college kids with covid

We do not know what treatments Christie received.

How did the doctors arrive at this treatment, if it hadn’t been tried on other sick Covid patients? They just tried something brand new, hoping it would stick?

Who is actually seriously ill? Is it still in nursing homes? How is that possible?. I thought they are still in semi-lockdown. College kids have like 2 hospitalizations of like thousands, so it's not them. Where are the news stories of the unlikely and unlucky patients?

The most effective and least expensive treatment is the one that has brought the death rate down exponentially... Remdesivir..that is why fatalities are down among all patients. It is just not that deadly anymore.

There’s 200,000 of them. They don’t all get news stories.

Christie was in the ICU for a week. The ICU.

It's being tested still. Trump got it pursuant to a compassionate use exception given by the pharma company at his physician's request. Your doctor's request if you get sick will not be granted.

Except a large new study that just came out found that remdesivir had no impact. We've learned a lot since March and undoubtedly your chances are better now than then, but there is still a ton we don't know.

They get health care at Walter Reed with VIP doctors that the rest of us at Walter Reed cannot get. Many of us cannot even get anything beyond basic primary care, forget specialists. Walter Reed has doctors working on the virus and a vaccine and they have doctors who go between Walter Reed and NIH.
