White House admits president's condition had been worse than
revealed.
US President
Donald Trump, who was admitted to a military hospital for treatment of Covid-19,
said he has started to “feel much better” and thanked the American people and
global leaders for their support.
“I came here.
Wasn't feeling so well. I feel much better now. We're working hard to get me
all the way back. I have to be back because we still have to Make America Great
Again,” Donald
Trump said in a video message from the military hospital in a suburb of
Washington on Saturday.
However, White
House physician Sean Conley has said the president is "not yet out of the
woods”. “While not yet out of the woods, the team remains cautiously
optimistic,” Dr Conley said, adding that the plan for Sunday is to continue observation
in between doses of Remdesivir, closely monitoring his clinical status while
fully supporting his conduct of presidential duties. Conley, in a memorandum
issued late Saturday night, said the president had received Regeron's antibody
cocktail on October 2.
“President Trump
continues to do well, having made substantial progress since diagnosis,"
Conley said, adding that the president completed his second dose of Remdesivir
without complications.
Conley said the
president remains fever free and off supplemental oxygen with a saturation
level between 96 and 98 per cent all day
