What's That Rash?

Why is Trump getting drugs reserved for serious coronavirus cases?


Listen Later

With each new day, we're learning a little bit more about the US President's battle with COVID-19.
Yesterday, doctors said the president's oxygen level had dropped a couple of times and that he had been put on a steroid drug used in the most severe of COVID cases.
So what could his treatment of experimental drugs and now steroids tell us about President Trump's condition?
On today's show:
* What is going on with President Trump's treatment?
* If he's not that sick what could the steroid dexamethasone do instead?
* What's happening in Victoria and New South Wales?
Also Norman discusses the UK reset on expectations about who'll get a vaccine first, and chats about a study showing that maybe obesity isn't such a risk factor when it comes to COVID.
