You seem to be out of the loop as far as all the advancements that have been made by scientists and doctors who have been successfully treating people for several months.

It was an experimental medication that reduced inflammation at the possible cost of increasing infection.  In other words, mask the symptoms while taking a risk with the disease.  Don't know all, but I'm a bit wary of the approach.

I doubt he could have hid it effectively, at least while not turning the White House into an infection machine.  It apparently took a bit to get him to the hospital.  We'll see.  One factor is that much of the staff is not on the executive medical plan.  At Walter Reed you are pretty much isolated.  In the White House you have the staff to worry about, the kitchen help, the cleaners, the Gardners, etc...  Of course it only makes a difference if you care about ordinary people.

I understand they have made minor updates in fighting the disease, but no breakthroughs.  People are still dying.  The percentages and delays of cases vs hospitalizations vs deaths is still similar.
