Next 48 hours critical for Trump, doctors refuse   

(REUTERS): The medics of US President Donald Trump has informed that he was doing very well in his hospital treatment for COVID-19, but a source familiar with his health claimed that Trump’s vital signs were very concerning, with the next 48 hours critical.

According to his physician Sean Conley, Trump is up and walking, has been fever-free for 24 hours, and his cough, nasal congestion and fatigue are improving,

He further said that Trump was not receiving extra oxygen and was doing very well. “We have monitored his cardiac function, his kidney function, liver function. All of those are normal,” another member of the medical team said.

However, a source familiar with the president’s health claimed that the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of Trump’s care. “The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning,” the source said, adding, “We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”

The White House has not commented on the assessment. Trump left the White House and was moved to Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre near Washington on Friday just hours after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.

Soon after Trump arrived at the hospital, Conley said in a memo that the president was starting a course of therapeutic drug remdesivir and had received an eight-gram dose of an experimental polyclonal antibody cocktail.

Conley would not put a hard date on Trump’s discharge from the hospital or disclose the president’s temperature. Meanwhile, more people close to the president disclosed they have tested positive for the coronavirus.
