After just three nights in the hospital, US President Donald Trump, who is infected with the corona virus, claims to be able to return to the White House. “I feel really good!” He wrote in a tweet on Monday and announced that he would be leaving Walter Reed Hospital at 6.30pm (local time / Tuesday 12:30 am).
The president also wrote in the tweet: “Don’t be afraid of Covid.” You must not allow the corona virus to dominate your own life. “We developed some really great drugs and knowledge under the Trump administration. I feel better than 20 years ago!” Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, was due to hold a press conference later Monday.
Doctors: “He’s back”
Trump’s doctors have confirmed the scheduled discharge from the hospital. The 74-year-old man’s further Covid treatment could be done at the White House just as well as at Walter Reed Military Hospital, they told reporters. Trump “has not yet gotten out of trouble.” However, Trump had no fever in the past 72 hours and had normal oxygen levels.
Washington. In general, you meet all the criteria for dismissal. “He’s back,” said one of the doctors. They sidestepped several questions, including the last time Trump tested negative before his arrival on Friday. Trump himself announced on Twitter that he would be leaving the hospital.
Leave the hospital for a brief appearance.
A few hours earlier, Trump had briefly left the hospital to appear in front of his supporters. Doctors and scientists reacted in sheer horror. You spoke of “insanity” and “irresponsibility”.
From a black truck, Trump greeted his fans on Sunday (local time). Previously, the president had greeted the “patriots” on the street in a video posted on Twitter.
Surprise for “great patriots”
He wanted to surprise the “great patriots” we “have on the street,” Trump said in the video. He said he had learned “a lot” about Covid-19. What is happening is “the real school” and “a very interesting thing”.
Shortly after the video was published, a convoy of presidents left the hospital. From an armored van, Trump, wearing a respirator, greeted cheering supporters who waved flags and held up posters with an image of Trump in the air. A few minutes later, Trump was taken to the clinic.
Horrified medic
Doctors were horrified by Trump’s appearance. The risk of corona transmission in the car is high, said the head of the George Washington University department of disaster medicine, James Philipps. He spoke of “astonishing irresponsibility” and a “political theater” that put others in mortal danger. All the people in the vehicle had to be quarantined for 14 days after “this completely unnecessary driving by the president,” Philipps said, stating: “This is insane.”
The White House rejected the criticism. A spokesperson said “reasonable” precautions were taken to protect both Trump and his employees.
With the apparition, which lasted a few minutes, Trump apparently also wanted to dispel rumors that, in the meantime, his health was significantly worse than the White House portrayed. Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, said Sunday that the president’s condition “continued to improve.” The 74-year-old could possibly be released from the hospital on Monday.
“We remain optimistic that he may return to the White House later,” Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Monday. Trump’s health continued to improve overnight. “He’s ready to go back to a normal work schedule.”

At the same time, Conley admitted that Trump’s oxygen levels had fallen twice briefly since symptoms appeared. Trump also received extra oxygen on Friday. “As with any disease, there are ups and downs,” Conley said.
Confusion about health status
Previously, there had been conflicting information from the Trump environment about the president’s status. Conley had told a news conference Saturday that Trump “was doing very well.” However, shortly after, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said the president’s condition was “concerning.” Trump is not yet on a clear path to recovery.
In an interview with Fox News, Meadows returned to paddling Saturday night. The president has made “incredible progress” since Friday morning. In addition, the situation was never such that a transfer of office from Trump to his vice, Mike Pence, was considered.
Remdesivir treatment
According to Conley, Trump is receiving the anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone, which is used to treat severe cases of corona. In addition, the 74-year-old president continues to receive remdesivir, which prevents the replication of the new coronavirus. Trump also received eight grams of a yet unapproved antibody cocktail from the American pharmaceutical company Regeneron.
University of Washington physician Vin Gupta saw the drug combination as an indication of the president’s relatively serious illness. The funds would not be administered if there were no corona-related pneumonia, he tweeted. He called for the X-rays of Trump’s chest to be made public.
Meanwhile, the president’s approval fell to a new low: A poll for the “Wall Street Journal” and broadcaster NBC showed 39 percent approval for Trump, his rival in the November 3 presidential election, Joe Biden of the US Democrats, however, came in at 53 percent.
At the same time, a growing number of infected people were reported around the president, including three Republican senators, Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien and his campaign advisor Chris Christie, former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway and the leader. Republican Party, Ronna McDaniel.
