Mr Crow:  since you are a man of science, and I am just a simpleton/layman, could you comment on Trump and dexamethasone and his behavior the last few days.
He's been tweeting ( and retweeting) quite, uh, prodigiously lately.
I just wanted to confirm ( or, perhaps, disprove?) a legitimate connection. Thx.

Not really my area John but I would say that not everyone suffers from these effects to the same degree. They are summarised here....

Anecdotally, I have recently started some medication in the past few weeks and have definitely noticed increased tiredness, a known side effect. Certainly infectious diseases are most successfully overcome by regeime that includes complete rest.

The media simply cannot believe that Trump is back in action.  They really thought they had him this time.   The conspiracy theories, attacks on his doctors, and hysteria are very humorous.  And Kantala has to come out of hiding tonight!

Zara Rahim, a former national spokesperson for the Hillary Clinton campaign, said in a since-deleted tweet, ‘I hope he dies’.

Michael Moore:  "He’s an evil genius and I raise the possibility of him lying about having Covid-19 to prepare us and counteract his game.  He knows being sick tends to gain one sympathy. He’s not above weaponizing this."

NY Times: “If he becomes sick, it could raise questions about whether he should remain on the ballot at all."

Thank you, Mr Crow.
Dr Campbell is thorough, and certainly straightforward, scientific and unbiased.

The dexamethasone treatment seems contraindicated, especially because of the anti immune effects, with a patient who was only receiving oxygen, but was not intubated, and was in the early days - we are told - of infection.

Hey, I'm just a simple country boy, what do I know.
