New York Times Reveals Trump Much Sicker Than Reported When He Went To Walter Reed With Covid
President Donald J. Trump was sicker with Covid-19 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, according to four people familiar with his condition.
His prognosis became so worrisome before he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center that officials believed he would need to be put on a ventilator, two of the people familiar with his condition said.

The people familiar with Mr. Trump’s health said he was found to have lung infiltrates, which occur when the lungs are inflamed and contain substances such as fluid or bacteria. Their presence, especially when a patient is exhibiting other symptoms, can be a sign of an acute case of the disease. They can be easily spotted on an X-ray or scan, when parts of the lungs appear opaque, or white.
Mr. Trump’s blood oxygen level alone was cause for extreme concern, dipping into the 80s, according to the people familiar with his evaluation. The disease is considered severe when the blood oxygen level falls to the low 90s.

What would have happened at that point had he died? Would Pence have automatically become the GOP candidate or would the party have been able to pick someone else?

I found it VERY interesting that they said his obesity was a factor. Remember that first physical where the doc lied and said he only weighed like 240?

There is NO WAY that fucker had just been infected.
He had been harboring the virus for days and was poz at the presidential debate.

Please stop rubbing in the fact that he is still alive. It's not what we need to hear.

R7, I think a svelte 239 lbs. was the figure they tried to shove down our throats.
Cripes, I need to lose 30-35 lbs.
At least 20.

I mean of course he was really sick. Had be to be rushed to check into a hospital. Trump would never do that unless he was fucking sick, he hates "looking weak".

Every minute of that con game of an administration needs to be exposed fully. Release any and all documents and send anybody who knew anything about all that shit before Congress to testify publicly. Now at last it can actually be done. Accept any and all requests from House committees happily and promptly. There is nothing about the Trump maladministration that does not need a full exposure.

I'm glad he didn't die... 'cause Pence is too good at -- dishonestly -- projecting a calm, caring approach. It woulda been too easy for him to call for healing; announce a new, aggressive plan to deal w. Covid; lets look forward, not back; etc.; and he might well have won the election.

It's late, and I'm tired, so maybe that was a contributing factor, but I actually giggled out loud at this.
