I wish they'd just put him on a ventilator and sedate him

[captain queeg]

It would quiet things down a little though all his inner circle would continue to lie, whine, and spread the disease. It’s too bad someone is not tracking infections as a function of political party.

1. I said the same thing hours ago....just in reverse...

That they sedate him and put him on a ventilator and shut him the fuck up and protect people from him...

[Sogo]

5. Hear, hear!!

[MaryMagdaline]

2. Induced coma would be nice

3. Skip the sedation.

He ought to appreciate every moment.

[Laffy Kat]

4. Or at least sedate us.

He is truly insane. It's like there's no escaping him.

[jimlup]

6. you may get your wish...

he isn't in the clear by a long shot

[wendyb-NC]

7. Either way sounds like

like a splendid idea. Knock his, hectic, annoying, obscene, privileged, cruel, narcissistic ass out for several days.

[Skittles]

8. GIVE AMERICA A LONG NEEDED BREAK

SO, SO SICK OF THAT FASCIST BASTARD

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. That would have been a grand idea on January 20, 2017.

10. Actually, he keeps digging himself in the hole deeper

every time he opens his mouth or pulls a publicity stunt like driving around while ill People hate him even more for putting his staff at risk, etc. People are seeing his BS more clearly now and the emperor has no clothes. Keep talking and making sham videos Don, your poll numbers will continue to drop a few points.

11. I'm not a medical specialist, but couldn't sedating someone lower their immune response

[Beringia]

14. A quick google search shows sedation can lower immune response

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4052449/


Analgesia and sedation agents have been shown to be immunosuppressive in a variety of models. In vitro models use a variety of immune cells to demonstrate the immunosuppressive properties of opioids, benzodiazepines and, to a lesser extent, propofol. In each case, animal studies provide more robust data supporting the concept that opioids, benzodiazepines, and propofol exhibit immunosuppressive activities ranging from innate to adaptive immune alterations. Human studies, though more limited, provide further support that these agents inhibit the immune response. In contrast, data has shown that dexmedetomidine may attenuate the immune system. Clinical trial data evaluating the immunosuppressive properties of these agents is limited.

12. God, can you imagine

him on a ventilator for weeks and then expiring? Pence President- ugh

Election can't get here soon enough

13. Damage to vocal cords is a common problem from being on a ventilator.

A friend had permanent damage that surgery could not repair, losing his voice nearly completely; he could barely manage a hoarse rasp.

If Trump goes on a ventilator and survives that ordeal, he could face some debilitating consequences. Problems with mental cognition are also common in patients on ventilators for more than a couple of days.

15. That's a promising scenario. Not as helpful as just dying but at least it might shut him up
