The medical team reported on Sunday that if the condition of the US president continues to improve, he will have to stay in the hospital one more night.
The president, infected with the coronavirus, is in Walter Reed Hospital, just outside Washington, where he was admitted on Friday. According to personal physician Sean Conley, there are ‘ups and downs’ in the course of illness at Trump, who is in the middle of his re-election campaign.
This is American time on Monday morning. On Twitter he published about twenty messages, 15 of which were one-line tweets in capitals. “PRO-LIFE. VOTE! ” and “MAINTAIN PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. VOTE! ”
Twice the oxygen levels in Trump’s blood plummeted. That happened on Friday and Saturday. The president also had a high fever on Friday. The doctor team then recommended giving Trump extra oxygen. He received a second dose of the antiviral drug remdesivir on Saturday evening and has no side effects. He is also treated with synthetic antibodies.
Since Saturday, the president has continued to be treated with the steroid dexamethasone, which must ensure that the oxygen level in the blood remains at the right level.
On Sunday, Trump showed himself in public for a short while. He drove a car for a short lap past fans gathered in the street and waved at them from behind the window. A doctor from the military hospital where he is staying was angry about this.
Biden negative
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has again tested negative for the corona virus. The test was conducted on Sunday, Biden’s campaign team announced. On Friday, the former vice president also tested negative.
Biden faced President Trump on Tuesday in a televised election debate. Trump announced on Friday that he was infected with the corona virus, but it is not known when he contracted that virus. Several prominent Republicans or employees in his area have also become infected. Subsequently, Biden’s team announced that it will announce all results of the corona tests that Trump’s 77-year-old challenger is undergoing.
Biden has repeatedly accused Trump in the campaign that the president is partly responsible for the many infections and deaths in the country because of his failing policy. Trump initially dismissed the virus as a flu that will go away on its own. The US is the country with the most diagnosed cases of the virus.
