President Donald Trump could be discharged “as early as tomorrow” from the hospital as he battles the coronavirus, his medical team said today
President Donald Trump could be discharged “as early as tomorrow” from the hospital as he battles the coronavirus, his medical team said on Sunday, while acknowledging Trump experienced concerning drops in his oxygen saturation levels both Friday and Saturday.
Conley also revealed on Sunday that the president had been given dexamethasone, a corticosteroid typically given to patients with severe Covid-19 cases. Given those two factors, Conley said he was “concerned for possible rapid progression of the illness.” He then decided to administer supplemental oxygen, even though the president was “fairly adamant he didn’t need it.” Trump, he said, received oxygen for “about an hour” and improved quickly, moving about the White House residence hours later.
Conley also created potential discrepancies in the timeline he laid out for Trump’s Covid-19 diagnosis. He initially indicated Trump had first tested positive over a full day before he stopped working and traveling maskless in tight quarters, before later clarifying that he had meant to say “day 3” instead of “72 hours,” confirming that Trump was diagnosed on Thursday.
