President Donald J. Trump was sicker with Covid-19 in October than publicly acknowledged at the time, with extremely depressed blood oxygen levels at one point and a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus, according to four people familiar with his condition.
His prognosis became so worrisome before he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center that officials believed he would need to be put on a ventilator, two of the people familiar with his condition said.
The people familiar with Mr. Trump’s health said he was found to have lung infiltrates, which occur when the lungs are inflamed and contain substances such as fluid or bacteria. Their presence, especially when a patient is exhibiting other symptoms, can be a sign of an acute case of the disease. They can be easily spotted on an X-ray or scan, when parts of the lungs appear opaque, or white.
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.
It has been previously reported that Mr. Trump had trouble breathing and a fever on Oct. 2, the day he was taken to the hospital, and the types of treatment he received indicated that his condition was serious. But the new details about his condition and about the effort inside the White House to get him special access to an unapproved drug to fight the virus help to flesh out one of the most dire episodes of Mr. Trump’s presidency.

at least his mind was there for him – not what you have now in the white house a senile President who can’t think straight without something in his ear coaching him???????????
what did Hillary say “at this point what difference does it make”
The point of this article?
From the New York Times and you know what that means… FAKE NEWS!
Notice how the article is built upon “people familiar with his condition”, without mentioning names of these people, thereby making impossible any confirmation of these allegations. Obviously, a retaliation is not a concern, as Trump is no longer in the White House; besides, even during his presidency, the bureaucrats were able to leak info and to back-stab Trump with complete impunity. The only rational conclusion is that these “people familiar with his condition” exist only in this New York Slimes author’s sick imagination. This article is not a chocolate, though it’s brown.
Did nayone thing different?
Everything Trump says is a lie.
If he says He will build a wall – he won’t
If he says Mexico will pay for it – they won’t
If he says there was – election fraud – there wasn’t
If he says he is a “very stable genius” – well if youre unsure about that then I I have a degree from Trump university to sell you
I think he should be impeached for underestimating his illness!
New York Tines? absolutely fake news.
Trump built the wall.
The 2020 election was a total fraud. There is proof.
Trump kept other promises and delivered on even more.
Trump wiped out ISIS.
Trump had best employment numbers in decades.
Trump showed that China is our mortal enemy.
Trump moved Israel’s capital to Jerusalem.
Trump bought the troops home and didn’t start new wars.
Anyone who does not recognize these facts is an ingrate.
“Traitor Joe” Biden is a criminal and should be impeached. The CCP is evil yet Biden is their pawn. The truth will be revealed and justice will be served. Hashem is in charge and Hashem loves emes!
This is terrible. Trump should resign. Oh, wait a minute.
