Trump doing 'very well,' no longer has fever, doctor says
Trump "is doing very well" Saturday morning, Dr. Sean Conley, physician to the president, said from Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Trump is in “exceptionally good spirits” and is not having difficulty breathing or walking around, Conley said.
"He did have a fever Thursday into Friday and since Friday he's had nothing," Conley said, though he would not say how high Trump's fever was.
"The president's been fever-free for over 24 hours. We remain cautiously optimistic, but he's doing great," he added.
"We have monitored his cardiac function, his kidney function, his liver function, all of those are normal," Conley said.
Trump will be treated with a five-day course of Remdesivir.
"Thursday he had a mild cough with some nasal congestion and fatigue all of which are now resolving and improving," Conley said. "The team and I are extremely happy with the progress the president has made."
Pressed on whether the president had been treated with supplemental oxygen at any point since his diagnosis, Conley wouldn’t provide a clear, declarative answer.
“And you said he's not received any supplemental oxygen?” a reporter asked.
“He's not on oxygen right now, that's right," Conley said.
When the reporter followed up on whether he had at any point, Conley replied, “He’s not needed any this morning, today, at all.”
At one point, Conley said, "yesterday and today he was not on oxygen." In another answer later he said, "Thursday, no oxygen. None at this moment. And yesterday with the team while we were all here, he was not on oxygen." He did not address whether Trump had received oxygen while his team was not on site.
Asked whether Trump has experienced difficult breathing, Conley said, "No. No, he has not. Never did."
Reporters questioned when Trump last had a positive test, but Conley would not answer.
Conley also raised questions about the timeline by saying the president was "72 hours into the diagnosis," though Trump's diagnosis was announced to the public about 36 hours ago. Conley then in a memo sent by the White House said he "incorrectly used the term 'seventy two hours' instead of day three' and 'forty eight hours' instead of 'day two.'" Conley confirmed that Trump was diagnosed Thursday night.
Conley did not say when Trump would be discharged. "I don't want to put a hard date on that," Conley said.
This was Conley’s first on-camera briefing on the president’s condition.
