White House physician Sean Conley admitted to using supplemental oxygen and a steroid anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone on Trump. He declined to say Saturday if the president needs supplemental oxygen and also declined to say when he might be released from the hospital.
The pharmacology of dexamethasone is to suppress the body’s immune system and quell the fatal overreaction that can occur when the body’s immune system resists invading viruses.

“In the next few days, I think that’s the real test, so we will watch what happens in the next two days,” Trump said facing the camera.

“I didn’t feel very good when I came here, now I’m much better,” he said.

Trump announced early Friday morning US time that his new test for corona pneumonia was positive. This interrupted his campaign and also created uncertainty about his nomination for the post of Supreme Court justice.
The chaotic message before Trump released the video
Trump’s diagnosis of the novel corona virus has raised great public concern. Before Trump’s video on Saturday, different White House officials made different statements about his health, making it impossible for the outside world to know precisely the severity of Trump’s illness.
Several doctors on the White House medical team said Saturday morning that Trump’s condition is improving and he is already talking about returning to the White House. One doctor said Trump told them, “I think I can get out of here today.”
But a few minutes later, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters that Trump’s vital signs in the past 24 hours were “very worrying” and that the next 48 hours will be crucial. Trump is not yet fully recovered.
According to Reuters, Meadows requested that his identity not be exposed when he made the above statement to reporters. However, after the news broke, Meadows changed his statement, saying that Trump is in “very good condition” and that “the doctors treated him.” The vital signs are very satisfied. “
Reuters quoted a Trump adviser who requested anonymity as saying Trump was not satisfied with Meadows’ initial comments.
Another source told reporters that Trump had administered oxygen prior to admission. Before the decision was made to hospitalize Trump, he developed symptoms of dyspnea and decreased blood oxygen levels.
Dr. Conley told reporters outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Saturday morning that Trump had not experienced breathing difficulties, had not received oxygen after arriving at Walter Reed Hospital and had been fever-free for 24 consecutive hours.
Conley declined to respond to Trump’s possible discharge date at the press conference. It issued a statement Saturday night saying that Trump is currently “not out of the picture” but is “cautiously optimistic” about Trump’s situation.
Trump’s medical team stated Saturday night that Trump had already taken a second dose of Remdesivir, and spent most of his time Saturday afternoon “at official functions, and there were no problems moving around the room.” . .
Trump is 74 years old and, because he is a man and classified as obese, he belongs to a high risk group for new coronary pneumonia. He is currently on experimental cocktail therapy and takes the drug remdesivir at the same time.
“Today’s situation is strange. The doctors said this, the White House source said that, and both sides reviewed their statements after the fact. This phenomenon can only deepen the credibility of this administration,” said Condick, a political analyst at the University of Virginia. Kyle Kondik) said.
Trump and Biden campaign status
“I think I’ll be back soon and hope to complete the campaign journey the way this campaign started,” Trump said on Twitter.
Trump’s campaign team said Saturday that the team will go “full throttle” before Trump can return to the race track.
The team called for the hope that current senior “agents” such as Trump’s sons Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, can “consolidate. The campaign is moving forward.”
A spokesman for Trump’s team told Fox News that they will be holding their first online rally on Monday (October 5).
On October 7 US time (Wednesday), Pence will hold the first debate with Democratic Party vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
At the same time, the campaign of Trump’s opponent and Democrat Biden resumed, and this Saturday he held an online event.
At Saturday’s event, Biden expressed his wishes to Trump for his recovery, but at the same time strongly criticized Trump’s response to the epidemic. He called Trump’s response “unreasonable” and criticized Trump’s statement that “it is what it is” (it is what it is) when he mentioned the coronavirus death rate this summer.
“This is one of the most despicable things I’ve encountered in my entire career,” Biden said.
Biden tested negative on Friday and said he will undergo the next test on Sunday.
“I am running as a Democrat, but I will become President of the United States,” Biden said on Twitter on Saturday. “Whether you vote for me or not, I will represent you.”
The latest test results from bipartisan officials and the US White House.
