....problems breathing!
CNN has a close up of him, he's been heaving and puffing! He does not look well.

(9,895 posts)I will watch him die on replay until the end of time and smile and laugh while doing it...I hope his head bounces off the ground a couple times for good effect after he blacks out and goes down...slo-mo replay of his melon splitting in two would be FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC viewing.

(43,134 posts)protein-based viral envelopes (E) protein and membranes (M) protein .
Coronavirus envelope protein
https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12985-019-1182-0
Unlike the other major structural proteins, N is the only protein that functions primarily to bind to the CoV RNA genome, making up the nucleocapsid [48]. Although N is largely involved in processes relating to the viral genome, it is also involved in other aspects of the CoV replication cycle and the host cellular response to viral infection [49]. Interestingly, localisation of N to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi region has proposed a function for it in assembly and budding [50, 51]. However, transient expression of N was shown to substantially increase the production of virus-like particles (VLPs) in some CoVs, suggesting that it might not be required for envelope formation, but for complete virion formation instead [41, 42, 52, 53].
The M protein is the most abundant structural protein and defines the shape of the viral envelope [54]. It is also regarded as the central organiser of CoV assembly, interacting with all other major coronaviral structural proteins [29]. Homotypic interactions between the M proteins are the major driving force behind virion envelope formation but, alone, is not sufficient for virion formation [54,55,56]. Interaction of S with M is necessary for retention of S in the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC)/Golgi complex and its incorporation into new virions, but dispensable for the assembly process [37, 45, 57]. Binding of M to N stabilises the nucleocapsid (N protein-RNA complex), as well as the internal core of virions, and, ultimately, promotes completion of viral assembly [45, 58, 59]. Together, M and E make up the viral envelope and their interaction is sufficient for the production and release of VLPs [37, 60,61,62,63,64].
The E protein is the smallest of the major structural proteins, but also the most enigmatic. During the replication cycle, E is abundantly expressed inside the infected cell, but only a small portion is incorporated into the virion envelope [65]. The majority of the protein is localised at the site of intracellular trafficking, viz. the ER, Golgi, and ERGIC, where it participates in CoV assembly and budding [66]. Recombinant CoVs have lacking E exhibit significantly reduced viral titres, crippled viral maturation, or yield propagation incompetent progeny, demonstrating the importance of E in virus production and maturation [35, 39, 40, 67, 68].

Prednisone has been and still is used for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and to reduce inflammation in other parts of the body including the lungs. But it can have some real nasty effects on some people.

(92,061 posts)per day, in a few few days it can really mess him up
BumRushDaShow
(128,525 posts)that they probably gave him a standard dose of methylprednisolone (maybe as an IV) and probably an albuterol nebulizer treatment, along with the O2, to allow him to do that walk to the helicopter.
So I think he has been on steroids a bit longer, now with this new, more powerful one.

(63,801 posts)to mix all those drugs with Adderall, he may OD.

(128,525 posts)IIRC, adderall is actually a stimulant, which seems counter-intuitive for someone with ADHD, but it apparently works.

(4,158 posts)I noticed that he straightened his back and shoulders. That helps expand his lungs.
We don't know if anyone has ever recommended that but he seems to believe it, now.
Also he looks like he is inhaling through his nose and exhaling through his mouth. That is another good technic for someone with breathing problems. I was told to breath like you are Smelling the Roses and Blowing out the Candles.
