I only wish we had a doctor in the WH when this pandemic hit.IvanKaramazov said:

They may just be taking every precaution. Is it common for someone to be hospitalized within a day of symptoms? I thought the bad stuff started happening after about a week?

Maybe - but there might be a more practical reason.
The White House is apparently infested with COVID - it might simply be to get him to a sterile location, where he can rest/recover.

There are tweets saying the WH is saying he'll work from presidential offices that are at Walter Reed.

You do not give a patient -- much less the President of the United States -- a drug that is not yet approved by the FDA (to say nothing of one with "mild symptoms"). Unsurprisingly, the Trump WH is not being forthright to the American people about the health of their President.
Its a valid point, but Trump has gone the unconventional route before. Still an odd choice, imo, to go with an experimental treatment for mild symptoms.

Very ominous to see Marine One parked on the lawn of the White House, waiting for Trump to board. I wonder if he will walk to the helicopter or if he'll be wheeled in a wheelchair....or something else.

Add in the complete radio silence on Twitter - and maybe this does add up to something more.
(And nobody is buying the WH story that Trump was working all day, and will be working at Walter Reed. No tweets = No work)

Not good. Rooting for Donald Trump to beat this. No one just goes to the hospital for the heck of it. Get better quick DJT.
Either they’re lying about the mild symptoms or the doctors have no control and giving into his demands without resistance. Imagine being the doctor that prescribes an experimental treatment that leads to harm of the President.

Im actually surprised they didnt have a plan and already had a hospital setup in the WH. That said, and no offense, this administration doesnt strike me a planners.
Agreed.
And talk will (and likely should) start pretty soon about placing power in the hands of the VP until confidence in his health is restored.
No matter views on Trump, this is a tough time for the country when there's a question about the physical health of the president. At times like these, other adversaries could take advantage of the situation as well, and hopefully this doesn't happen either.

You had it right that Herman Cain is the one who died. As others mentioned, Ben Carson is the MD in Trump's cabinet, but he's still alive.

Boarding marine one on a wheelchair or other help would be an image that we won’t forget.

I just can't imagine having the courage and fortitude to get up every day and knowingly head into a pandemic treatment zone to help others like they do. Not only the immediate risk of exposure to themselves, but the mental/emotional hardship of dealing with the symptoms and morbid outcomes experienced by patients with this disease. No amount of praise is enough.

That was my wifes life for about 6 weeks. Total of ~30 deaths in the facility and a co-worker and their family
At least three journalists who work at the White House have tested positive for coronavirus, according to the White House Correspondents Association

This is surprising. I doubt they would take him to the hospital and administer an experimental drug if symptons weren't already serious. He is clearly not in good shape as he appears to be overweight.
I hope he recovers is it is not good to have a sick President (even if I disagree with him).

I assume there are locations other than a hospital that they’d go if this was mostly about needing to be somewhere without the virus.
It has to be secure - Walter Reed will be the most secure place he can easily get to - to have both medical facilities and privacy.
Trump does not want his condition leaked to the press ever few hours.

Figuring out how to get him to the helicopter without him looking like he is in bad shape?

To go as a precaution would break all protocols ever established. The only reason to go is to do something they can't do at the white house i don't know what the deal is but is more than precautionary

Guess I'd better go ahead and 
here since we can't have a thread in the FFA. Best wishes and healing thoughts to all who have contracted this disease, Presidential and otherwise. Have we heard anything about Melania's condition and whether she has any concerning symptoms? Being younger, female, and thin hopefully should help, but it's not a given.

I played a round last week with a cart and walked 8,700 steps. Had to spend a little time looking for a lost ball twice.

*Mods, sorry if disrespectful but some of us laugh instead of cry in tough times. I would never dream of posting otherwise towards anyone else. This is making fun of myself.

odd - have cnn on in the background - exact same reporting (lack of communication from WH< or any of their sources)
