Geez, msbelle, I thought you were talking about yourself!
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
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.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Teppy, most media is now reporting it. WaPo has a statement from his doc. It's the Regeneron polyclonal antibody cocktail.

Dana, never mind -- I forgot that I could google, so I see it's the Regeneron antibody therapy. Interesting.

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.

He should consider leeches.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently every room in my house is too small, and the door sills are all too high.
Oh yeah, I am lucky that I only have a high sill into the bathroom, so it can get around OK, more or less.
