Doesn't seem great. What a shocker, they're not giving him hydroxychloroquine. Or bleach.

Dana, I totally want to medical-nerd out about this -- where did you read that he's getting an experimental treatment? (I'm going to end up down a rabbit hole that ends with leeches.)

The treatment the president received is an antibody cocktail developed by the biotech company Regeneron, according to a memo from his doctor, Dr. Sean P. Conley. Mr. Trump is also taking vitamin D, zinc, melatonin, a daily aspirin and famotidine (an antacid better known as Pepcid), the memo said.
No leeches. Yet.
