(8,103 posts)Prednisone is great stuff. It reduces inflammation and restores function. But, you can't stay on it because it is destructive and you kinda start dissolving from it. You can use it initially, but after that you have to have a care plan for the underlying disease. It's a crisis med only.
The problem is that we don't really have any tried and true treatment plan for this disease. I blame Trump for fooling around hoping to turn this plague into some kind of political weapon he can use to keep power.
I am not one who is blaming Trump for each and every death that has occurred. Trump did not make this plague. But, he knew about it way in advance of the rest of us, he promoted unsafe practices, and he spent his leadership time advocating silly, senseless treatments that would basically have killed us. Now he's telling us not to be afraid of it because, you know he got a million dollar free treatment and he hasn't died (yet.)
We still don't know if he really had it. I think the timing is highly suspicious. But, he ain't no hero! He is foolish, short sighted, and behaving like an idiot. He is in the eye of the hurricane, doesn't realize it, and we will all just settle back to watch what happens next.
But, we still are not going to vote for him.
