Boris is a lot younger and has a healthier lifestyle. It's shocking that he has been admitted so fast. Just shows how indiscriminate this disease is.

Breaking news - President Trump has been taken to hospital...

Mr Trump's physician Sean Conley said in a statement earlier on Friday that the president had "as a precautionary measure received an 8g dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail*" at the White House. The medication is administered to help reduce virus levels and speed recovery.

He was also taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and aspirin, Dr Conley said.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced earlier this week that its coronavirus antibody cocktail reduced viral load for patients enrolled in early and late-stage trials — which are ongoing.

The company gave Trump the cocktail — which is not yet approved by the FDA —through a compassionate use request, since the drug is still being evaluated for its safety and efficacy in tests with hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients, Regeneron said in a Friday press release.

Regeneron defines its compassionate use program as "intended for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions who do not have any viable or available treatment options, and are unable to participate in ongoing clinical trials."

Unnamed sources told CNN and Reuters news agency that Trump has a fever. He also has a cough and nasal congestion, two sources told the Washington Post. None of these symptoms have been officially confirmed.

That's what I meant when I said we won't be told the truth Annie, because it was only at tea time they said he only had mild symptoms. If that were true, why would he whipped off to hospital so suddenly
I wonder how his wife is too? I haven't heard much about her hardly at all.

White House physician Sean Conley said the first lady has "a mild cough and headache."

It seems he also has a fever, a cough and nasal congestion...

President Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis comes after a busy week running his administration and campaigning ahead of the 3 November election, during which time he has interacted with many high-level officials.

The president announced positive test results for himself and his wife, Melania, in a tweet on Friday, at around 01:00 local time (5:00 GMT).

This followed a positive diagnosis for his close aide, Hope Hicks, who reportedly started feeling symptoms on Wednesday and tested positive the next day (Thursday).

It takes five days on average from the moment a person is infected for symptoms to start showing, but it can be much longer, so the World Health Organization advises a 14-day isolation period.

The peak infectious period for the virus is the day before symptoms appear (Tuesday)and the two days after (Friday), although a large proportion of people never show any symptoms at all.

Mags they said on the news that he would not be given experimental treatment unless the docs were very concerned. So I take the press releases from the White house etc with a pinch of salt.
