Crown-infected Trump “is in great shape.”

Washington: Donald Trump’s doctors confirmed on Saturday that his condition is “very good” after being hospitalized after suffering Covid-19, but a source familiar with the health of the white American president said that his vital signs were alarming and that the next 48 hours would be crucial.

In the first updated medical report on the US president’s health status since he was admitted to Walter Reed Military Hospital on Friday, Dr. Sean Conley said that Trump screamed and was able to walk and that “he had not had a fever in 24 hours.”

The doctor added that the US president suffered from a cough, mild congestion and fatigue, but the symptoms “decrease and improve.”

He stressed that Trump is breathing well without assistance and is not receiving oxygen support and is in “very good” condition.

But a source familiar with Trump’s health gave a less positive assessment of the US president’s COVID-19 case.

The source said: “The vital functions of the president during the last 24 hours were very worrying and the next 48 hours will be critical for the level of care provided. We are not yet on a clear path towards a full recovery.”

The White House did not comment on this assessment.

Despite questions from reporters, the US president’s doctor did not confirm whether Trump had received supportive oxygen and only stressed that he was not receiving it now.

This leaves the possibility that the American president received oxygen in the White House on Friday, noting that American media reports have not been verified by Agence France-Presse, indicating that this will happen.

Shortly after Trump was hospitalized, Conley said in a note that the president had started treatment with remdesivir and had received an eight-gram dose of the Regeneron lab’s antibody mixture, a treatment in the process of clinical trials.

The White House doctor did not provide a “specific date” for Trump’s discharge from the hospital, nor did he reveal the president’s temperature.

However, in parallel to the positive assessment issued by the White House, those closest to the president revealed that the tests they had carried out had had a positive result.

The latest victim of Trump’s inner circle is Chris Christie, one of the advisers who helped Trump prepare for the presidential debate.

The list of wounded who had contact with the president of the United States includes three senators, Trump’s campaign manager and several of his top advisers, and at least seven injuries have been confirmed in connection with an event that took place last week. on the White House lawn.

Trump’s hospitalization adds to the uncertainty of the situation regarding the upcoming November 3 US election, as the Republican candidate, who left Democratic opponent Joe Biden in opinion polls, was forced to freeze the majority of your campaign activities.

The Trump campaign said all planned events related to the president had been postponed or would take place online, beginning with the cancellation of one meeting in Florida on Friday and another in Wisconsin on Saturday and others in western states like Arizona. next week.

Even the second debate between Trump and Biden, scheduled for October 15, is now in doubt.

In an 18-second video clip shot inside the White House and posted on Twitter Friday, Trump announced that he would be hospitalized, but “I think I’m in great shape.”

“We will make sure things go well,” he added, adding that the first lady was also “in very good shape.”

Trump was seen leaving the White House on Friday night, without any assistance, as he made his way to the presidential helicopter that took him to the hospital in the suburbs of Washington for treatment.

And on Saturday, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson announced that he had contracted Covid-19, compounding the severity of the crisis at the heart of America’s decision-making centers.

And on Friday, Killian Conway, a former White House aide, announced that she was infected with the virus and was suffering from “mild” symptoms.

Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stephen, 42, said he had tested positive.

Public health experts have raised concerns about the rise in infections related to an event on the White House lawn on Sept. 26 to announce Trump’s selection of Justice Amy Connie Barrett as a member of the Supreme Court.

At least seven people who attended the ceremony had contracted the epidemic, including First Lady Melania Trump, Conway, Senators Tom Tillis and Mike Lee, and Notre Dame President John Jenkins.

These developments complicate the course of Trump’s election campaign, especially as Trump is forced to freeze most of his campaign activities.

In a move that underscores his sudden lead in the presidential race, the 77-year-old Biden traveled to Grand Rapids in Michigan, where he is scheduled to hold a rally.

Biden said he prays for Trump and his family, and his campaign has announced that it will remove all negative ads.

Biden also reminded voters that he has consistently advocated taking seriously the emerging corona virus that has killed more than 208,000 Americans, unlike his opponent, who repeatedly mocked him for his adherence to wearing masks.

“This is very important,” Biden told supporters in Michigan, commenting on the subject of wearing masks. “Be a patriot. It is not a question of intransigence. It is about participating in the collective effort. It is not a question of politics. It is a strong reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously. It will not go away automatically.”
