Trump is now on steroids, per his doctor.
His doctor is now saying that Trump had a high fever and low O2 sats on Friday.
He said that Trump had two "transient" episodes of low O2 sats under 94%.
Trump's doctor says Trump was on oxygen for an hour on Friday when his O2 sats dropped under 94%.
Doctor at Walter Reed says that Trump could be released as early as tomorrow, meaning the Biden campaign should put their "contrast" ads back up now, IMO.
The spin coming out of Dr. Conley could take the earth off its axis.
Dr. Conley said he was trying to give the "upbeat attitude of the team" when he lied about Trump getting oxygen yesterday, which makes no fucking sense. Why even bother to brief us?
Not sure why Dr. Conley couldn't say whether Trump was in a negative pressure room or not.
Which means he's probably not.
Which means everyone in proximity is in danger of getting aerosolized virus.
Ridiculous.

Dexamethasone is a steroid given for moderate to extreme inflammation, which means he likely has serious lung involvement.
I can't believe they are talking about sending him back to the White House tomorrow.

Remdesivir is used to boost the immune system but can cause inflammation.
Dexamethasone is used to decrease inflammation, which in turn depresses the immune system.
Is he on steroids to reduce liver or other organ inflammation caused by Remdesivir? 4/
