Compared to 18 years younger than him, British Prime Minister Johnson, who was also diagnosed with a new coronary pneumonia earlier this year, the 74-year-old Trump was not only unable to transfer presidential power after the diagnosis, Instead, he was discharged from the hospital in just three days, planning to work while he worked. receive treatment.
The Associated Press reported Oct. 5 that Sean Conley, Trump’s personal physician in the White House, said the same day that Trump “may not be completely out of the woods,” but has met the criteria for discharge. Trump has now received the third dose of the five-dose remdesivir treatment plan. When Sean Conley provided other details, he did not explain the results of Trump’s lung scan, nor did he reveal the details of Trump’s quarantine restrictions and whether Trump was still contagious.
As for the changes in Trump’s condition, there are still many doubts, and all parties have made contradictory statements in recent days. At present, Trump’s true condition and when he will heal after being released from the hospital are issues of particular concern.
Confusing information about Trump’s condition
Trump’s diagnosis of the new corona virus has drawn great attention from the outside world. However, during this period, 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.
In the early morning hours of October 2 local time, Trump announced on Twitter that he and his wife Melania had tested positive for the new corona virus and said he would immediately enter the “isolation and rehabilitation process.” According to a CNN report on Day 2, Trump developed a fever and other “mild symptoms” and felt “extremely tired” on the morning of Day 2, and then received initial treatment at the White House. At 6 p.m. on the same day, Trump was transferred to Walter Reed (Walter Reed) National Military Medical Center for further treatment.
Sean Conley said in a statement that day that the president had injected a single 8-gram dose of an experimental antibody drug developed by Regeneron on day 2 for treatment, that is, an “antibody cocktail.” therapy. “This therapy has not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but some British experts believe the therapy is” very promising. “In addition, Trump also received treatment with the antiviral drug Remdesivir , which is considered one of the most effective drugs for treating the new coronavirus, and the FDA has issued an emergency use authorization for Remdesivir.
On the 3rd, Sean Conley said that Trump’s symptoms have eased. But a few minutes later, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters that Trump’s condition in the past 24 hours was “very concerning” and that the next 48 hours is a critical period for treatment.
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 was in “very good condition” and that “the doctors treated him well.” The vital signs are very satisfied. “
Reuters quoted a Trump adviser who requested anonymity as saying Trump was not satisfied with the initial comments from Meadows.
On October 4, Trump’s medical team declared that Trump’s condition “continually improves.” According to Sean Conley, the president was transferred to Walter Reid Medical Center for treatment on the 2nd because his symptoms “developed rapidly” from the afternoon of the 1st to the morning of the 2nd, with a high fever and hypoxia, and the oxygen in his blood dropped to 94%. Then, on day 3, Trump’s blood oxygen saturation dropped a second time. In response to the two drops in blood oxygen saturation, the doctor gave Trump the anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone.
Earlier, Sean Conley told reporters that Trump had not experienced breathing difficulties, had not been given oxygen after arriving at the hospital, and had been fever-free for 24 hours.
The pharmacology of dexamethasone is reported to be to suppress the body’s immune system and quell the fatal overreaction that can occur when the body’s immune system resists invading viruses. It is only suitable for critically ill patients who are hospitalized and need oxygen or a ventilator, and it is not effective for patients with mild symptoms.
“This situation is very strange. The doctors said this, the White House source said that, and both parties reviewed their statements after the fact,” Kyle Kondik, a political analyst at the University of Virginia, told the BBC.
The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) noted that the White House’s lack of transparency about the president’s diagnosis has made people increasingly uncomfortable and confused. Last week, Trump’s aide Hope Hicks was exposed to the new crown after news outlets broke the news.
When staying in the hospital, do not forget to “bring your presence
Trump did not forget to interact frequently with the American people and their supporters during the hospitalization process.
The second day after he was diagnosed with the new corona virus, Trump posted a video on Twitter that read “Thank you for your great support,” “I think I’m fine now and we’ll make sure everything goes well.”
On October 3, Trump re-posted a new 4 minute 2 second video, saying that it is in good condition, but the next few days will be a “real test.” In the video, Trump is wearing a suit jacket and white shirt, without a tie. He expressed his gratitude to the doctors and nurses at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He also said he thinks he can come back soon and get back on the race track.
Later, on October 3, Trump’s daughter Ivanka posted a photo of her father wearing a white shirt working in the presidential suite of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, with the text “Nothing can stop you from working for the American people. . “.
On October 4, Trump took a special car to briefly leave the medical center, drove around and greeted supporters outside the hospital. Trump said it was to give supporters “a little surprise,” but questioned whether this move endangered his staff.
On October 5, Trump tweeted 25 tweets at once, encouraging voters to vote for him.
“Super spread event”
Since Trump was diagnosed with the new corona virus, many people who have been in contact with him have also tested positive for the new corona virus. According to CCTV News, as of October 4, more than 20 people in the White House, Trump’s campaign team, and related personnel had been diagnosed, and many of them had participated in the summit held at the White House on October 26. September. The appointment ceremony of the court judge.
America’s political news website Politico reported that based on live photos of the day, the guests were sitting very close together and most of them were not wearing masks. With the increase in the number of confirmed cases, this event is increasingly viewed as a “super spread incident”.
According to the US media, among those who tested positive for the new corona virus and attended the Supreme Court nomination ceremony last week were the Trumps, Trump’s adviser Hicks, former adviser Conway and the president of the University of Notre Dame, John. Jenkins, Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, and Sen. Tom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina.
Those who did not participate in the nomination ceremony but who had been in close contact with Trump in recent days and were diagnosed with the infection include Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stephen, Republican National Committee chair Ronald McDaniel and the Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, White House Aide Nick Luna and Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson. Additionally, at least three reporters stationed at the White House have tested positive for the new crown.
According to Bloomberg News, among those who participated in the first debate of the presidential election, at least 11 staff members were also diagnosed with the new corona virus.
On October 5, it was also confirmed that White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany (Kayleigh McEnany) and her two assistants were infected with the new corona virus. The US media said McNerney was at least the 11th person who had been in close contact with Trump and was diagnosed, and the number may rise further.
The White House medical department said it is currently tracking close contacts to determine who else is infected with the new corona virus.
But the BBC noted that the White House appears to be very slow in tracking the transmission chain. Many people who attended the same public occasion as Trump said they have not yet been contacted by U.S. health authorities. Some White House staff said they had not received instructions and did not know if they should isolate themselves.
