One of the physicians treating President Donald Trump, Dr. Brian Garibaldi, said Sunday the President is being given the steroid drug dexamethasone as part of his Covid-19 treatment.
It's an indication that Trump's condition is worrying, as the drug should not be given to anyone who is not ill enough to justify the downsides of taking steroids -- including that it suppresses the immune system."We decided that in this case the potential benefits, early on in the course, probably outweighed the risks at this time," White House physician Dr. Sean Conley told reporters outside Walter Reed national Military Medical Center Sunday.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, chief of infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital, said the use of dexamethasone had some"scratching our heads" because it's suggested for people with severe illness. She noted that video posted on Saturday of Trump at Walter Reed medical center didn't seem to show shortness of breath or coughing."Generally you start the dexamethasone when you're starting to worry that they're heading down the wrong path," Walenksy said.

Someone suffering from COVID, not in bed, but driving around the hospital area to wave to supporters, give me a break !
No, it’s standard and effective.
Is this a movie?
Why is POTUS lead doctor in this case not an infectious disease specialist with experience with Covid-19? Also interesting that a high risk patient given more than one experimental treatments especially when the person doesn't trust science.

FAKE NEWS
I firmly believe tRumps COVID case is a hoax! He’s not sick. This is all for sympathy ... and a campaign strategy. Disgraceful TrumpDoesnothavecovid TrumpLies TrumpVirus
This makes no sense. CNN is the leader on spinning conspiracy theories mow! Brooke Baldwin is lucky she got out alive!
I think SenateDems business they will have heart attack soon .lol
Can you please quit covering g this idiot. Focus on the real news like his taxes and voter suppression this guy is a liar
Preemptively protecting Trump sounds unacceptable to some people.
😂😂😂😂😂 more fake news!!!
DNC media is hoping trump dies. But he is heading home!!
Ya'll at CNN wishing for the man to be seriously ill or die... foh and I'm not even one of his supporters
We give dexamethasone to patients with serious lung issues. There is sooooo much they (President) wants to keep from us.
Then what the hell is he doing in the back of a car. ?He still is very sick to be getting this new med. Spread the Covid around takes a lot of brains on the Dr. part. What a Loser. How much he paid?
But its ok, Trump is elderly and shouldn't mind giving it all in support of our wonderful country... But the question is.. Why is he at the hospital, the rest of the US population that has the virus is told to stay at home in quarantine. Esp if they say he's not serious.
Are you guys just ignoring Trumps video updates? He looks and sounds great
This whole sleepy Joe crap is annoying where and what is he hiding from? It’s your precious leader who is always in the bunker. Being safe is not hiding obviously your leader should have shown you that by now 🙄
Nothing to worry about he’s fine, amazing how quickly you can recover when you were never sick to begin with;-)
Meanwhile, he’s shooting videos and talking car trips around the supporters when he’s supposed to be resting and letting his body heal 🤦🏻♀️ only Trump could f-ck up having Covid-19
Hey CNN! Try covering Biden for more than 5% of coverage time. Don’t be surprised when he wins again because you are obsessed with Trump. Give him up.
Watch out CNN! TDS is more deadly than COVID-19. You are warned!
