Breaking NYT: Trump was sicker with COVID in October than publicly acknowledged at the time, with extremely depressed blood oxygen levels at one point and a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus.

NYT: Officials believed Trump would need to be put on a ventilator

He was found to have lung infiltrates, which occur when the lungs are inflamed and contain substances such as fluid or bacteria.

His blood oxygen level alone was cause for extreme concern, dipping into the 80s.








Surprise! Trump was sicker than we were told. Who didn't know that?
