Folks, you don’t get on Marine One Going to Walter Reed for a slight fever and fatigue....

Dude was diagnosed yesterday, he's not in "falling over" territory.

But looking at how they are handling the situation and some reports from White House correspondents he must have some serious symptoms. 

I was responding to David's suggestion that his condition must be serious because of the fact he was being sent to Walter Reed.  The video shows that his condition did not appear serious at the time he was taken to the hospital; he was able to walk to and from Marine One with a normal stride and no apparent weakness or difficulty.  If he was experiencing extremely serious symptoms of the sort that normally warrant hospitalization they either would not allow him to ambulate by himself, or if they did his condition would be apparent in how he walked. 

I'm not saying he won't develop serious symptoms, I'm saying we haven't seen any evidence that he "must have some serious symptoms" yet.  I don't think that the mere fact that he's been hospitalized is proof positive that he has serious symptoms and they are lying about it.  I understand why people are naturally suspicious of any information that comes from the administration, but suspicion and speculation do not equal fact, particularly when there is evidence (the video of him walking without difficulty) that contradicts the speculation.

I honestly don't think the administration is "lying about it". He has the virus, and he's manifested symptoms so they decided to send him to Walter Reed. Nothing more, nothing less.

But seeing him walking without "falling over" doesn't contradict anything. That's all.

If he has a fever by now, the earliest he was infected was probably Sunday or Monday.
