Trump called Covid a blessing. This doctor does not agree.
Infection of the president was not a gift.
Less than a week after President Donald Trump announced he had tested positive for Covid-19, he said he was infected with the highly infectious virus that has killed 210,000 Americans in just 8 months is a "God's blessing". However, according to the doctor and expert in infectious diseases and pandemic response,Darren Mareiniss, MD, Facece, Emergency medicine physician at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, a deadly virus should never be considered a gift of God. Read it, and to cross this pandemic with your healthiest, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.
"Getting the coronavirus is not a blessing"
"I think it was a blessing from God that I caught it. It was a blessing in disguise," cried Trump in the video posted on her social media account Wednesday. He then called the drug that was administered an experimental antibody cocktail Regeneron not yet approved by the FDA, a "cure", promising to return it at no cost to the American people. "I want everyone gets the same treatment as your president," said Trump, adding, "It was like amazing."
"Get coronavirus is not a blessing," Dr. Mareiniss, dealing covidants patients since the beginning of the pandemic and fought the virus itself, saidEat this, not that! Health.Covid-19 can cause lasting damage to the lungs, heart and other organs, some patients still suffering from malfaisons seven months later.
It also explains that there are several shortcomings in the statement of Trump.
The first is that it is not yet out of the woods. "As for the clinical course, it can still become ill on 5 to 10 years of symptoms," he says. "Today is the day 7 or 8 if it became symptom on 1 October."
Then he points out that Regeneron has not been proven as a "cure" for Covid, and he has not even had the approval of the FDA as safe and effective treatment. The company has asked the FDA for emergency approval after the declaration of Trump.
"Regn-COV2 is always in the middle of the FDA tests. The data showed that it can reduce the viral load and decrease the duration of symptoms in outpatients (outpatient) with Covid-19," said Dr. Mareiniss said. "This has had the greatest effect on patients who were seronegative - initially did not mount an antibody response There is no current evidence that it is a cure, whatever.."

"No evidence she did a cure"
Finally, "it is not clear that the cocktail of Regeneron antibody guérisé anything" - for various reasons. "A subjective experience of a person is no clinical evidence," he says. "There is also the question Regeneron is not the only treatment he received during his stay at Walter Reed Memorial Hospital." He also received RemDesivir and dexamethasone. If he recovers, this could be due to one of these procedures or any of these interventions. 92% of people his age will recover without distinction. Again, with regard to his recovery, the jury is still out. "
