At a press conference sunday, his doctors said the president wanted to return to the white house soon and they said he might get his wish.

At the same time, they described symptoms that were at times disturbing. Over the occurs of the his illness, he has had two drops in oxygen cat rasaturation.

Doctor, three interventions with medicine and efforts to stabilize the breathing. We need more information. We need to know what does the chest ct show and does he have pneumonia and what do the blood tests show . Are therein creases in the markers that that are showing he is perhaps later in the disease than we think. That he is in the inflammatory phase. The reason its important. The two medicines he was given. Those, it makes sense, you know, the idea of them is to decrease the viral load and in that first part of the disease, that makes a lot of sense is. Even though the medicines are experimental, they are not proven to be safe and effective. Still that makes sense and it was a decision his team made. The dexamethasone is a little different. Because in the big new england journal article that was in july, it was shown to be effective in decreasing mortality significantly in people who needed a breathing tube and to a lesser extent, people on supplemental oxygen. It was not thought or found to be helpful in people who did not need oxygen and thats what we are told where the president is right now. That he is off of the oxygen and his levels are okay. So, i think we need to know what was the logic behind all this, and of course, im looking from the outside in, i dont know the whole story. So, its hard to assess what is going on. The dexamethasone is a steroid, does anything else come with it in terms of side affects, doctor . There are side affects for steroids and the more series ones are longterm. But shortterm. One of the things i wonder about is it can decrease fever. If you are saying he has no fever and you are relying on something, he may have a fever that you dont know he has. Does this sound like he can come home tomorrow. This home is not a normal homicide, and im told from my sources the white house is well equipped, almost like an icu if needed. He will be getting closely monitored. If he does take a turn for the worst, they are prepared to do what needs to be done. We thank you. The coronavirus is not slowing down, its picking up.
