As an ER doc who admitted many new #COVID19 patients on my shift yesterday, the idea that @realdonaldtrump left the hospital early is disturbing & alarming. He's not only putting himself in serious harm, he could kill many others. Here's how: (1/5)
The president wants his fans to think the virus is no big deal. Well, 1 out of 10 COVID patients in his age range die of it. If people his age listen to him & don't take it seriously, that's a huge number who will get the virus. And a huge chunk of them will die of it. (2/5)
Keep in mind, the president's case was severe enough that he was treated with some very serious therapies. His oxygen levels sank to alarming levels. His fever shot up. There's a chance he's setting his own recovery back. At minimum, he's modeling very dangerous behavior. (3/5)
Speaking of the top-notch treatment the president got, you'll notice it was government-funded healthcare. A compassionate person might think this care should be extended to all Americans. But he continues to oppose it & is suing to cut healthcare for millions. (4/5)
Meanwhile, we're now learning that much of the White House staff, including 2 housekeepers, just contracted this virus. Because of one man's selfish, careless behavior, countless lives are at stake.
Take it from an ER doc: Please continue to take this virus seriously. (5/5)
