Trump remains out of sight as doctor says he has no symptoms

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DONALD Trump has been out of sight for a second day while recovering from Covid-19.

However, he has made his presence known through social media upon his return to the Oval Office when he tweeted broadside against Democrats and presented false figures on diseases.

It was Trump’s first visit to the Oval Office since he was discharged from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday.

He was briefed on Hurricane Delta, looming on the US Gulf Coast, and on the prospects for economic stimulus.

His doctor reported today that the president continued to make progress in his recovery.

Dr. Sean Conley, the White House physician, reported that Trump had stated, “I feel great!”

Dr. Conley added in a memo that Trump had been symptom-free for more than 24 hours, and that his oxygen saturation level and respiratory rate were normal.

The memo also said that antibodies to the coronavirus were detected in Trump’s blood drawn on Monday, suggesting that he could be fighting the infection.

Last Friday, he had been given an experimental treatment containing manufactured antibodies.

It is not clear what the detection of antibodies means about the course of your disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that people can break isolation 10 days after symptoms appear.

Precautions

Aides were ordered to take extensive precautions to avoid contracting the president’s coronavirus. And while attendees say he’s working, White House officials have offered scant details of what he’s doing.

It is unclear whether Trump, since returning to the White House, has been able to receive the daily summary and analysis of national security issues produced for the president and key cabinet members and advisers.

White House officials did not respond to questions about whether they were informed of Hurricane Delta approaching the US Gulf Coast.

Amid the national public health crisis, a personal one, and warnings from leading economists that the virus-scarred economy is in dire need of stimulus, Trump released more than four dozen tweets at noon praising supporters and lashing out at your opponents.

Trump again publicly downplayed the virus on Twitter, as even more of his aides tested positive, including one of his closest advisers, Stephen Miller.

In all, more than a dozen White House employees tested positive.

In a major national action against the coronavirus, Trump declared that no action would be taken before the election on economic stimulus legislation, an announcement that came shortly after the chairman of the Federal Reserve said that such aid was essential to the recovery with the nation reeling from the human and economic. cost of the pandemic.

Later, he tweeted his support for a series of stimulus proposals that appear to be a political failure ahead of Election Day.

As for Trump’s own recovery, his doctor, Navy Commander Sean Conley, said in a short letter Tuesday that the president had a “break” Monday night at the White House and is “reporting no symptoms. “.
