3. I believe that the doctors are deliberately being cryptic with their message.

They won't come out and state that Trump is more than moderately sick and is being treated for Covid Pneumonia. Instead they tell us that Trump's been treated with an "antibody cocktail," Remdesivir, and a steroid and we connect the dots. IOW, the doctors really aren't being elusive. They are leaving us clues.
