It is. I got it at each Taxol infusion. I hated the feeling so much that I was able to get my dosage halved. Its purpose was to prevent severe allergic reaction.

And the labored breathing that Trump exhibited just now was the same I had after finishing chemo.

I had chemo/shortness of breath. It was ugly. I would have to go somewhere and just getting out of my car and walking30 or so steps and I would go in and collapse in a chair struggling to not gasp too loud and upset everyone including myself. I'm sure we were all uncomfortable about it and I didn't know why because no one told me then and I only found out later.
ETA: I saw the same gasp-y breathing that Trump displayed. I don't know how many people will see that and recognize it, but I noticed it immediately. Had a meme ready to go but found it already here.

A Facebook post by a gal who I coached many years ago. She has been very, very sick with Covid.
"I appreciate all who have been so supportive these last few days. And I do not mean to display anger when I am so grateful to be alive. But, I am so angry at what I have just heard from our president.
I am so angry. So angry. This is so disrespectful. So grotesque. So unbelievably crass and tone deaf.
Children have lost their parents. People will struggle with this illness long beyond their initial symptoms. I sit here on an oxygen tank grateful for my next breath. 210k Americans are dead.Our president says "don't be afraid and don't let this dominant your life."
Go to hell. Go. straight. to hell.
Sincerely, someone who really, really thinks this sucks.

Ruth - I hope she recovers fully and quickly. He still doesn't get it even now. While he should go to hell, I'd like him to make a pit stop in jail.

"You can't defeat hate. Hate only hides. It hides under the rocks, and when you give it oxygen, when you breathe into it, you bring out the worst of people, and you legitimize them. That's what's happened. We've legitimized these people who've engaged in hate based on race and color and religion, and it's wrong, and the way we have to deal with it is we have to make sure we equip every agency—federal, state, and local agency—with the tools that are going to be bringing people together."

Ruth, I so hope your student recovers to full health. This was a powerful statement by her. And the Biden statement also packs a wallop. Thanks so much for posting these!

Ruth, I'm voting in person and as early as I can. Maryland is a staunchly Democratic state so I don't anticipate any problems --never have heard of any before where I vote. But thanks for this!

Ruth--Great memes per usual!

The commentators I was listening to stated that the tv reality star orchestrated the trip back to the WH to be on prime news time and take a 30 minute time slot. Also that pose, maskless, on the balcony was the one he wants on the news in the morning.
Did you see what he did with his mask-- put it in his jacket pocket just further contaminating things!
I've got to stop thinking I can't get any more disgusted!!!

While I agree that reporters should press on getting answers regarding tRump's medications, symptoms, and assessment of whether he's still contagious (CDC says to isolate 10 days after a positive test, so he's still considered contagious until Friday or Saturday), a negative test won't give any useful information. The virus RNA, which the test looks for, can remain in your body for up to 3 months from the initial infection, long after the virus itself has been defeated.
This is why the CDC is not recommending getting tested before returning to work - a meaningless positive result can cause unnecessarily delays for employees.

It's definitely Benito Trumpolini's dexamethasone talking. (As it probably was for Herman Cain toward the end--you feel more & more upbeat & invincible, and then you die, usually of a massive stroke). I noticed the gasping breaths too--my mom breathed that way during end-stage COPD & CHF. But to show you just how crazy he is, he had to put his makeup on before leaving the hospital!
His doctors needed to swap that suit jacket for a Posey jacket.
My theory is that when he got sick, he went to Walter Reed just long enough for the WH medical facility to be retrofitted as an ICU with telemetry bed, ventilator and possibly even an ECMO machine. That had to take about 72 hrs....hmmm.....
Oh, and per Rachel's dissing of osteopaths (DO): I think she was getting them confused with chiropractors (DC) or orthopedists (who are MDs). Osteopathic med schools are a bit easier to get into than MD-granting med schools; but both MDs & ODs get the same basic training. ODs do spend some time concentrating on the body's infrastructure (musculoskeletal & neurological) and are taught a holistic approach. But the truth is that by the time a DO goes through a hospital-based residency, all the "holistic" and "structure" stuff falls by the wayside and (s)he practices (and likely thinks) exactly like an MD. And DOs can be specialists too: I had a DO obstetrician; Bob's ex-partner (who moved to Long Beach to start an interventional cardiology practice) was a DO and one of the best angioplasty docs in the SW 'burbs; and the general surgeon with whom Bob shares office space is a DO.
The WH physician is a jerk and a dick not because he's a DO but because he works for Trump and--like Ronny L. Jackson--got caught up in both proximity to power and subservience to his boss.

Had an over-the-fence chat with my neighbor yesterday and he had to make an off-the-cuff remark that the coronavirus “will be over in November." I let the comment slide. The man had Covid, so did five others in his church, plus Trump, and hundreds of thousands in the U.S. are dead from it. Does neighbor think it's played up in the media?That he caught a hoax? That the Dems are using it as a means to win back the White House? Is he worried Biden will win and the media will start reporting how the virus is being eradicated? This is how a Trumper thinks. Even tho Trump is on tape as saying how deadly the virus is. Even tho Trump lied to the American people. Even tho the one of the 10 commandments s “Thous shalt not lie.”
Dh is incredulous at the neighbor's point of view.
