69. They can't force someone to stay for observation.

I think they ask you to sign something that acknowledges you're leaving "against medical advice" (so you can't sue them blind if your condition worsens or something), but they can't make you stay.

Remembering how Trump acted when he had covid (making a big show of being a lot less sick than he really was), I could easily see him declining to stay for observation if he was asked to, Gotta show the voters what a big, tough, macho man he is!
