I'm no doctor, but I expect that- at best- Trump is going to have a long, difficult recovery

[coti]

Especially if the chest imaging is showing damage to his lungs, which it sounds like has occurred, at least to some extent, based on the evasiveness of his doctor answering questions about it.

Trump may be fortunate enough to survive this, and his team will continue to try to prop him up with as strong an image as they can muster for him, but I think he'll be pretty much out of commission at least until the election, and likely be dealing with serious damage to his body for the rest of his life.

1. Until today I wasn't sure. Now I am. It is what it is...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I agree, and I also think this does not bode well for his campaign.

[Quixote1818]

3. It could be doing damage all through his body the doctors won't know about for weeks. nt

4. The fatigue can last for months.

And even without symptoms you can have heart and ling damage.

Even mild cases can be pretty serious.

[DUgosh]

5. I agree

He has existed on a diet of fast food, he is morbidly obese, and will not adhere to medical advice or treatment.

6. It's the damage to the heart that is most distressing.

I know two people, long-termers, who picked up the virus in March. Neither one can walk 100 yards without feeling like an elephant is sitting on their chests. That’s heart damage.

And for them, at least, it’s not getting better.

7. With the 3 different drugs that they are giving Trump, it definitely point toward a more severe case

than the Trump team is leading us to believe. So I think you are right. He is, at the very least, going to have a long battle ahead of him with COVID. And severe COVID cases tend to leave a long term health impact.

9. Indeed. Even if he didn't "need" those rx, they have side effects in themselves

[Claustrum]

11. If he didn't "need" those rx, then the doctor should be sued

I think 2 of them are specifically only used for severe COVID cases and has no benefit or actually is harmful if they have a mild case according to WHO, CDC and other studies. The drugs he took are not for preventative or mild case usage.

[uppityperson]

12. Yup. Exactly.

[Blue Owl]

8. Serves Decimated Donny right

Although I still hope he just croaks and removes any possibility of a second term

[BusyBeingBest]

10. He's a sick bird. Maybe not critical-care (ventilator) level, but

certainly ill enough that even regular people would have been hospitalized with his same symptoms.

[Thekaspervote]

13. A true monitor will be how many magot rallies his dumb kids schedule and how far out.

[Talitha]

15. I'm guessing for as long as there's still money to be made.

[lindysalsagal]

14. Yuppers. The old blowhard is silenced.

His heart, (if he really has one) will continue to beat, but the rest of the sideshow is history.
