There seems to be a significant chance that Trump gets more treatment, which doesn't always mean better treatment. I think it was Garfield that was killed as much by his doctors as an assassins bullet. Who knows.

True, but I think the real dividing line between Trump and anyone off the street is that he has a full time medical staff that is ready to give him oxygen the minute his O2 saturation goes down even a little. That could make a really big difference to his outcome. The drugs and all that I think have been shown to have marginal effect at best. Certainly nothing that should make any high risk person feel overly confident.

If they were doing things like blood transfusions or special ultra rare blood oxigenator machines I’d say he was getting better treatment but if they are using standard protocols probably couldn’t do much better because you just don’t know how
