(1/4) Other than the experimental antibodies, Trump has gotten what - remdesivir, dexamethasone - we give to our Covid patients with hypoxia
(2/4) From the way questions were answered, the fact that dex was started (which can have side effects including confusion) & he was on supplemental O2 suggests to me that his O2 may have been lower than they are letting on
Supplemental O2 usually isn't given unless O2 sat <90%

(3/4) With Covid19 & pneumonias in general, you typically don't get 'transient' drops in O2 as much as persistent (& potentially progressive) hypoxia lasting for at least hours
Transient drops usually happen from mucous plugs or aspiration
Unclear to me what the actual story is

(4/4) Discharging someone just started on dexamethasone so quickly would be highly unlikely but these circumstances are obviously very different & I can imagine him going home with ongoing treatment there just for the optics
