What does "it can get" mean?
�I can tell you at this time, I am very optimistic about her recovery,� Dr. Rhee said in a news conference. �We cannot tell what kind of recovery but I�m as optimistic as it can get in this kind of situation.�

In this case, it means "I'm as optimistic as possible." (as optimistic as optimism can be in this kind of situation) |
