northAfter his coronavirus infection, according to doctors, US President Donald Trump could soon be discharged from the hospital. Doctor Brian Garibaldi said in front of Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda near Washington that if Trump continues as well as he did Sunday, they hope to be able to discharge him this Monday. Treatment could then continue at the White House.
Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, had said immediately before that Trump’s health had continued to improve. However, as with any disease, there are ups and downs. Doctors at the military hospital also explain that the president was not well on Friday morning: Trump had a high fever and his blood oxygen saturation had dropped. During this time they gave him oxygen. Since Friday he hasn’t had a fever. With speculation circulating about Trump’s health, Conley said he had not tried to hide anything in recent days. Rather, it was important for him to reflect the “optimistic attitude” of Trump and the medical team.
Trump, 75, was rushed to the hospital Friday night after being infected with the coronavirus. According to information from CNN, Trump initially hesitated on Friday about being treated in hospital for his infection. Citing informed sources, the broadcaster reported Sunday night that Trump’s advisers first had to convince the 74-year-old White House politician to get on board the Marine One helicopter. He had already been waiting for him in the south garden of the official seat. Trump was then airlifted to Walter Reed Military Hospital in northern Washington, where he has been treated ever since.

Despite symptoms and therapy that has already started, Trump initially did not want to be taken to the hospital, he said. I wanted to avoid looking seriously ill. The president had been told that it would be better for him to stay at the clinic if his condition worsened. Senior administration officials said they weren’t going to hospitalize Trump until after the stock market closed to avoid a drop in share prices.
Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said over the weekend, watching Friday’s events on Fox News: “Yesterday we were really worried.” Trump had a fever and the oxygen saturation of his blood had dropped rapidly. In contrast, Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, had previously painted a positive picture of the president’s health.

On Saturday, Trump later posted a video message from the clinic. “When I came here, I didn’t feel so good. I feel so much better now, ”he said in it. “The real test” will come in the next few days, the president continued, but added: “I think I’ll be back soon.”
Trump was reportedly upset by the statement from his chief of staff Meadows. So the video was a response to show that he was in good health.
Other presidents have suffered from serious illnesses
Concern about external shock had already led some of his predecessors to withhold details about their illnesses from the public. President Woodrow Wilson, for example, fell ill in April 1919 when the Spanish flu was rampant. He was in Paris when he became so suddenly and seriously ill that his personal physician, Cary Grayson, first believed he was poisoned. After a difficult night, he wrote a letter to the White House informing them that the president was seriously ill. More than a hundred years later, it is a tweet that lets the world know that Trump and his wife Melania contracted the coronavirus.
