President Trump is being admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center “out of an abundance of caution” after testing positive for the coronavirus, the White House said Friday.
“President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,” the White House said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady.”

FTA: "abundance of caution" is a democrat term, so I very much dislike it being attributed to the president. Anyone else have the thought that the president may have been intentionally infected with a heavy viral load of the virus that was probably released as a weapon in the first place? There's not a democrat alive that I wouldn't put past doing something like that, including more than a few administration insiders.

Trump graciously appreciates the outpouring of well wishes. No counter punch to those who r not giving well wishes. I will. To those who wish him ill, just think how mentally ill u r.

Monoclonal antibody treatment. The antibodies cover the "connection points" on the virus when they are free floating, preventing them from having any way to "plug in" to a cell. Since viruses can't reproduce on their own, need to enter and take over cells, this blocking of their connection spikes leaves them floating, neutered effectively, cannot grow in numbers.
Checkmate you damned Chinese virus.
Note that Trump is taking Vitamin D, aspirin, melatonin, and the surprise.....Pepcid. But it is a histamine-2 blocker, and in addition to the normal use to lower acid in the stomach, it reduces inflammatory response.
One online source notes that histamine-2s "...Inhibit antibody synthesis, T-cell proliferation and cytokine production." Those are not things you want inhibited now. Antibody synthesis and T-cell proliferation are needed.

There are people going around purposely spreading this stuff. I have had three separate encounters with coughers and sneezers not covering their mouth. The first cougher was behind me, I got sick a few days later. Second cougher and one sneezer walked down the store aisles coughing and sneezing and not covering their mouth. I don't doubt someone purposely made the president sick. But he will be okay. He did say a while back someone or something might get him. Maybe this is it.

Never hurts to be careful with this stuff. Nanie Pelousy ought to apologize to the nation for making an ass out of herself earlier today for saying the President deserved it.

It's been a long time since I wanted anything as much as I want President Trump and the First Lady to get well.

I keep thinking of the Democrat operative named Savage who took a job at Gary Baurer's campaign during the 2012 campaign primary. He had a virus and went around licking doorknobs and equipment in an attempt to infect GOP campaign staffers. He also hoped to infect the candidate. Has the Secret Service checked to see where Savage us these days? Hanging around Hope Hicks, hoping to infect someone close to POTUS?

Good to know #7. Cheap med, readily available.
I upped my Vit D and Zinc months ago and recommended our sassy senior moms do the same.
President Trump looked good in his video on Twitter. I have been praying since I heard the news.

Give him hydroxychlorequine. And the zinc stuff that goes with it.

Thank you for the additional information, #4. However, my understanding is that one of dangers is not the disease itself, but rather the autoimmune over response that it sometimes triggers. The so-called cytokine storm appears to be one of the more serious risks. I believe they are trying to manage the immune response to prevent an over reaction.
