Trump's coronavirus diagnosis shows our lack of treatment options for mild cases. Most of the available treatments for COVID-19 infections, like remdesivir and convalescent plasma, target severely ill patients who have been hospitalized.

After testing positive for the coronavirus, President Donald Trump was given a dose of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s experimental neutralizing antibody cocktail, considered one of the most promising candidates to fill a major hole in COVID-19 treatment plans.

Trump on Friday tweeted that he and his wife, Melania, had tested positive for the coronavirus. Both are experiencing mild symptoms. Dr. Sean Conley, Trump’s physician, wrote in a letter shared by White House officials that he expects the president to continue his duties “while recovering.” Like convalescent plasma treatments, these drugs also use antibodies, and both have shown so far that they help reduce viral load, based on interim data shared in the past month.

The steroid dexamethasone is another option for hospitalized patients who are in need of oxygen support. The steroid, which is approved by the FDA for other indications, demonstrated in clinical trials in the U.K. that it can reduce mortality in some severely ill COVID-19 patients.

You won’t stop the spread of Covid as long as you embrace riots they need to stop first and then Covid infections will decrease in conjunction with mask wearing. Do you really think we are that stupid?

**BUCILLAMINE** Not sure how it’s not being talked about.. This is exactly what it’s being used for to treat mild and moderate covid cases 👌🏼 Spread the word Revive_RVV ! $RVV $RVVTF

I recommend Hydrochloriquine Donny said its miracle cure Right

Revive_RVV $RVVTF Has a treatment for mild to moderate symptoms even those who are incubated on a ventilator. They are in phase 3 and are in compassion approved right now. CNBC

We also don’t have treatment for any other respiratory virus for mild illness (Tamiflu is not a cure and MAY or may not lessen sumptoms).

Great glad hope he never get out if hospital his an evil

Good news is, Trump never needs to wear a mask again after he recovers ✅
