Ten doctors at Walter Reed discussing Trump’s health. Dr. Conley says they are “extremely happy” with the president’s profess.
Trump is going to stay on a five-day remdesivir treatment.
Trump’s not on oxygen. They say he hasn’t been in it at all today. Reporter doesn’t follow up if he was on it last night. Dr. Conley says he doesn’t anticipate Trump needing to go on oxygen this week. Won’t disclose “specific numbers” about Trump’s fever.
Has he ever been on supplemental oxygen? Not today or yesterday, Conley says. Avoids discussing whether Trump has been on it prior.
Conley won’t disclose or discuss when Trump was infected with the coronavirus.
Reporter asks about other risk factors beyond Trump being obese. “He’s 74, he’s male, he’s slightly overweight,” but other than that, Conley says Trump is doing well.
Heart rate in 70s to 80s, and blood pressure is fine.
So: Conley said his team is “72 hours" into Trump's Covid diagnosis. So he was diagnosed Wednesday morning at some point? And he didn’t disclose his infection until about 12:50 AM on Friday.
