It’s the opener to Zombieland

You telling me with a straight face that the dead rising from the grave is a hard no for you in the year 2020?

There's only a 97% chance he'll survive!

You can tell when somebody is progressive and "for the people" when they wish for the death of other human beings they disagree with. Ghoulishly vulturing over and relishing the misfortune of others is such a great quality!

Sure, but are you surprised that a POTUS would get that kind of treatment and so early on in the infection? They are trying to get as ahead of it as possible. And why wouldn't they move him by helicopter? That's not an uncommon thing. I guess I'm just surprised that people are surprised that they are treating it aggressively. Thinking the President doesn't have access to things average Americans don't have access to like that is naive, no? But, yes, I totally understand your HCQ comment and as someone that never thought it was an effective treatment after the initial studies I'm not surprised.

There's a good chance that if he's indeed positive they already started treating him with convalescent plasma and remdesivir.

That was from 0926 this morning. I'm not surprised at all. I predicted it. I figured he was going to start treatment immediately. He took it to another level and is using therapy still in trials. Because I know how serious this infection can be. It's all fun and games until you actually get the Rona, especially as an elderly person with comorbidities.

President man I don't like is sick and that is GOOD! Stupid man, let me stand on him and reveal my own complete and utter goodness.

Most of you are psychotic. There is time to get help, there is always time.

With the added context of your earlier post I understand the post I replied to better, and I see you are not included in those surprised by the efforts. I have a 31 year old long-hauler and a 75 year highly asthmatic individual in my life that was intubated for a month and received the first successful convalescent plasma treatment in my state so I'm well aware of what this all can look like.

I don't think the argument was ever "this isn't serious". It was "this isn't serious for the vast majority of the population, and even for older populations". I'm sorry you have been affected so directly by it. Your experience is insanely uncommon from a raw statistical standpoint.
