Donald Trump walked out of the golden doors and out of the hospital.
As early as Sunday, the president began persuading doctors to return to the White House, writes the New York Times.
But employees wanted him to stay, and experts see the risk of catastrophic development.
Fans were able to test the show on Sunday already. Rocky III’s “Eye of the Tiger” was played and the crowd cheered and waved their flags as the President took a short walk around Walter Reed Hospital and saluted.
– It’s total ecstasy here, Aftonbladet emissary Emelie Svensson testified.
Last night it was time for “Trump: The Return” for real. Perfectly directed when the big American television companies have their news broadcasts, he walked out the golden doors of the hospital, raised his thumb and got into the car to continue his helicopter ride to the White House, where he will continue his quarantine.
Trump did not answer any questions from reporters outside the hospital as he walked to the car. A journalist yelled a question about how many of his employees are sick, but only received a “thank you very much.” The follow-up question “do you think you can be a super spreader?” was ignored by the president.
At 0.55pm Swedish time yesterday, Marine One landed in front of the White House.
– This could be a patient zero landing. It is the virus that is returning to the White House, said Jim Acosta, CNN correspondent in the White House, when the images were shown on the live broadcast of the television channel and referred to the wide spread of the infection that was taking place. in your enviroment.
– Forget that the emperor has no clothes. The emperor has no staff tonight.
Before Trump entered the White House, he was allowed to be photographed without his mouth guard on, which quickly met with more anger in the American media.
Even inside the building, the atmosphere was not immediately cheerful before returning.
– People drop like flies here. Shit is insane, says an anonymous source on the NBC News staff.
Positive doctors
The hours before, he sounded much happier when his doctor gave a press conference before discharge.
– During the last 24 hours, the president has continued to feel better. He has met or exceeded all the criteria to be discharged, his personal physician Sean Conley said during a press conference, shortly after Donald Trump himself announced the news on his favorite Twitter channel.
“Don’t be afraid of the covid. Do not let it dominate your lives, “Trump also wrote in the tweet, adding that he feels better than he has in 20 years.
No critical issues
Conley said at length during Monday night’s press conference that all is well with the president and that “he’s back.” But critical questions such as how the quarantine should go in the White House, if it is good to return to a building where so many have already become ill, how long is it contagious, what did your lung scan show, when was the last time you tested negative, if it was Right. that she went on a trip on Thursday and if it is good that the president tells people not to be afraid of the virus, she did not want to answer.
The only thing a little less optimistic Conley said was that Donald Trump “is not completely out of the woods yet.” The medical team said Trump was fever-free for 72 hours, did not feel any shortness of breath and is generally in good condition.
Stark steroid
The president has received three doses of the antiviral drug remdesivir and should have received a fourth before it was prescribed. He has also received continuous treatment with the strong steroid dexamethasone, which is usually given to very sick COVID-19 patients, including those who are cared for on a ventilator.
Not all experts are equally convinced of the wisdom of prescribing the president just yet.
Medical experts the New York Times spoke to believe the president’s risk factors – he’s male, 74 years old, and overweight – mean he needs to be closely monitored for several more days. And that, therefore, it is doubtful to be discharged from the hospital.
– It would be catastrophic to end up in a situation where you get really sick in the White House and have to be transferred urgently. For me, it doesn’t feel safe, Céline Gounder, assistant professor of infectious diseases at New York University School of Medicine, tells the newspaper.
It can become manic
He also believes that treatment with the steroid dexamethasone may give the president the wrong signals about how he really feels. The drug is known to give the patient a feeling of euphoria, and Trump has also tweeted that he feels better than in 20 years.
– Many people feel very good. If you have aches and pains, they will go away. If you have a fever, it goes away. “People can get manic, great,” Céline Gounder told the New York Times.
Sanjay Gupta, a CNN medical expert, sees two major problems with his return to the White House. The drugs he has been treated with attack the symptoms more than the underlying disease and there is a risk that the virus will strike in a second attack, he tells his own television channel. Gupta also believes that the trip itself poses danger to employees in his neighborhood both in the helicopter and at the White House.
– It should be isolated in quarantine, says Sanjay Gupta.
When Trump was discharged, it had been three days since he was dramatically airlifted from the White House by Marine One helicopter to Walter Reed Military Hospital. He then experienced a night of high fever and decreased blood oxygenation and was treated with oxygen.
Over the weekend, confusion and contradictions about Donald Trump’s condition on the part of doctors and staff have led to much speculation about how he really feels. At the same time, one of his closest associates has tested positive for the virus. Just hours before the president announced his return to the White House, his secretary of state, Kayleigh McEnany, was the last in line to be quarantined.
I was upset
Donald Trump is said to have been genuinely upset by speculation in the media that he might be sicker than he and other officials have said. When Chief of Staff Mark Meadows anonymously told reporters on Saturday that Friday was worrying and that 48 critical hours were waiting under the president’s care, the measure was at stake.
He started tweeting, called Rudy Giuliani and sent a four-minute video message. All with the meaning that you feel good and are ready to work as usual.
The next day, Sunday, according to the New York Times, Trump tried to persuade doctors to return to the White House to turn the media around and show that he is healthy and strong. According to information in the newspaper, he has also felt bored and confined.
After negotiations, it was agreed that Trump would be allowed to go around the block. A storm of criticism followed where doctors and politicians called the public relations stunt “irresponsible” and “insanity” and said he endangered his bodyguards by sitting in a hermetically sealed car with them.
Then on Monday the decision was made to print it. But according to information from CNN, close associates tried to persuade him to stay in the hospital for another time. He has been told that it would be devastating for the American people if he, with less than a month until the elections, were forced to be hospitalized again.
