Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I would think a sitting POTUS wouldn't be able to undergo experimental treatments (unless his life was imminently in danger), just because they aren't proven.

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.
