President Donald Trump's condition is continuing to improve as he fights a coronavirus infection, doctors say, and he may be able to leave Walter Reed Medical Center as early as Monday -- even as details emerge that the president allegedly initially tested positive for COVID-19 earlier than he acknowledged. Doctors also reported that Trump, over the course of exhibiting coronavirus symptoms, had earlier experienced two episodes of"transient drops" in his oxygen saturation. Yet the president was feeling well enough Sunday evening to briefly leave Walter Reed for a surprise drive-by, waving to supporters outside the hospital. Administration member Judd Deere subsequently put out a statement saying that,"President Trump took a short, last-minute motorcade ride to wave to his supporters outside and has now returned to the Presidential Suite inside Walter Reed." There have been no updates on Trump's condition from his physicians since earlier in the day, when they told reporters he could be released as early as Monday. Meanwhile, numerous questions remain about how many people at the highest levels of government had been exposed to the virus after a week of events involving the president where social distancing and mask-wearing were lax in the White House and elsewhere.
