Dall ‘ sent to New York. The White House has now become a hotbed for Covid, but the information it disseminates is contradictory and fuels confusion. Doctors said yesterday that Trump is making progress, but then an administration source revealed that before entering the hospital he had received oxygen, his condition was very worrying and the next 48 hours will be crucial for recovery. The president, in other words, is not out of the woods, and the spread of the virus among his closest collaborators puts at risk both government management and national security and the future of the electoral campaign.
Around eleven o’clock yesterday morning, Dr. Sean Conley appeared with 9 colleagues in front of the Walter Reed Hospital, to give the medical bulletin: “The president is very well. We are very happy with the progress made. He has a little cough, nasal congestion, fatigue, but the symptoms pass. His colleague Dooley added that “he’s in a really good mood. He told us: “I feel like I can get out of here today.” Then Trump tweeted: “We have made tremendous progress against the plague. I’m fine. “After Regeneron’s polyclonal antibodies, an experimental therapy carried out on Thursday along with aspirin, melatonia, famotidine, zinc and vitamin D, yesterday the head of the White House began taking Remdesivir, an antiviral created to treat Ebola. Conley said he has no fever and that other vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen level, 96%, are normal. But then the confusion began. When asked if Trump had received oxygen, the doctor answered only “yesterday and not today.” That is why he refused to make an accurate prognosis, to delve into the results of the pulmonary tests, and above all he said that the treatment had lasted 72 hours. That would mean that the president had infected before Thursday night, when he broke the news himself, and perhaps knew he was ill when he took the stage in Cleveland on Tuesday to debate with Democratic rival Biden. All the more reason he would have exposed hundreds of people to the virus at Wednesday’s rally in Minnesota and raised money Thursday in New Jersey.
Shortly after, in fact, Conley had to clarify with a statement, to explain that he was not referring to 72 hours, but to the third day of therapy, that is, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In the meantime, however, an authoritative White House source had created new confusion, thus fueling the yellow with reporters: “The president’s vital indicators in the last 24 hours have been very worrying, and the next 48 will be crucial for the recuperation. We are not yet on a clear path to full recovery. The source later revealed that Trump had received oxygen on Thursday before admission.
The lack of transparency does not help an administration that is already plagued with doubts about its credibility, particularly in light of the outbreak that has developed around the president. Besides him, in fact, I knowHis campaign manager Bill Stepien, GOP Chair Ronna McDaniel, Councilor Kellyanne Conway and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who helped prepare for the debate, were infected. Then three Republican senators fell ill, Mike Lee, Thom Tills, and Ron Johnson. One hypothesis is that the event responsible for the outbreak was the appointment last Saturday of the new Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett, who had had Covid in March. Otherwise the debate. And it would not be a coincidence, because the Republicans have transformed the failure to comply with health measures into a political position, starting with the Trump family, who in the Cleveland room took off their masks.
These cases have forced Senate Leader McConnell to postpone his next meeting in the courtroom, and even as he insists that Barrett’s confirmation will continue as planned, the virus could force him to change plans. The truth is that Trump’s presidential campaign has turned upside down, in addition to national security concerns, which have led the Pentagon to reiterate that it is willing to defend the country. Donald may hope to attract the sympathy of voters, but without rallies and perhaps debates, it will not be easy to counter Biden’s charge that the crisis is the fault of the irresponsible behavior of the head of the White House.
