White House physician Dr. Sean Conley and Dr. Brian Garibaldi of Johns Hopkins University provided another update Sunday on President Trump’s health as he remains hospitalized at Walter Reed with the coronavirus.
Garibaldi said Trump “feels well” and has been moving around Sunday morning. That’s raised hopes, Garibaldi said, that “we can plan for a discharge as early as” Monday, so the president can continue his treatment at the White House, though there’s no guarantee that will happen.
Conley addressed the confusion sparked by his earlier comments about Trump’s health, which clashed with a more concerning description from White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Conley acknowledged that Trump did, as Meadows said, require supplemental oxygen on Friday, and said he previously refrained from providing specific details to “reflect” Trump’s “upbeat attitude,” which he admitted came across as if “we were trying to hide something.” He added that he “didn’t want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction.” The explanation hasn’t exactly reassured some of the administration’s critics, however.
It was already known Trump was receiving the antiviral drug remdesivir, but Conley said Sunday that he has been given the steroid dexamethasone, as well, which has led to more speculation about the severity of the president’s infection.

Dexamethasone: an anti-inflammatory steroid effective in reducing deaths among trial patients on ventilators or supplemental oxygen. “If they were less sick, it didn’t seem to make a difference,” @DrLaPook says in this CBS News piece. https://t.co/yldbzCFyRA
