The White House medical office has plenty of resources to treat a mild case of covid, since there's not much more that can be done than can be done for the flu; the CDC advises pain relievers, fluids, cough medicine and rest for a mild case, which is what he has, right? Do you have to be transported to Walter Reed by helicopter to get aspirin, water, Robitussin and a bed?
