Trump Was Sicker Than Acknowledged With Covid-19
When he was hospitalized with the coronavirus in October, his blood oxygen levels had plunged and officials feared he was on the verge of being placed on a ventilator.
摘录部分重点：
川普入院时血氧一度跌到80%，如果血氧在90%上下就可以算作重症：
Mr. Trump’s blood oxygen level alone was cause for extreme concern, dipping into the 80s, according to the people familiar with his evaluation. The disease is considered severe when the blood oxygen level falls to the low 90s.
川普入院以后接受了激素地塞米松的治疗，一般只有需要吸氧的重症患者才会使用：
After Mr. Trump was hospitalized, he began a regimen for a steroid, dexamethasone, which is usually recommended only for Covid-19 patients who have severe or critical forms of the disease, often those who need mechanical ventilation or supplemental oxygen.
川普确诊的前一晚，白宫官员尝试联系FDA，要求批准紧急使用一种实验性的鸡尾酒抗体疗法。这种紧急批准通常只有在病人的病情非常严重的时候才会采用：
On the night of his diagnosis, Oct. 1, White House officials scrambled to get the Regeneron antibody cocktail — not at that point authorized by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment — to Mr. Trump.
Dr. Hahn and other F.D.A. officials, including Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, the top federal drug regulator, worked to clear the drug through a standard process known as an emergency investigational new drug application, often used for very ill patients who agree to take an experimental drug still being tested in clinical trials.
我的看法：
-
我记得川普当时住院的时候，推特上就有很多医学界人士表示他的病情比实际披露的严重得多。这篇文章通过多方调查论证，实际上证明了这一点。
-
类似的情况：英国首相Boris也曾经一度因为病情严重需要住院，两个星期无法工作，并且需要吸氧。考虑到川普年纪比Boris大，身体状况不好，川普当时的情况很可能会比Boris更为严重。因此有理由怀疑，是否川普在入院之前一两周早已染病。
-
英国首相Boris在领教到疫情的危险以后，政策180度大转弯开始主动防疫，但是因为他和保守党政府的无能，期间搞砸了很多事情。然而川普在亲身体验重症以后，非但不知悔改，反而变本加厉宣传媒体夸大疫情，最后也因为防疫不力输掉大选。这就不仅仅是无能和过分自信，更加说明他为了自己的政治利益，根本就不在乎其他人的生命安全。
-
我在当初川普染病的时候说过，希望他能吸取教训，不希望他因此真的去世。但我现在觉得，有的人如果可以早点去见上帝，对全人类都是一种贡献。
