President Donald Trump’s doctor on Saturday said he is doing well.
“This morning, the president is doing very well,” Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s physician, said at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland on Saturday.
“The team and I are extremely happy with the progress the president has made.”
Trump had a mild cough, nasal congestion, and fatigue, but all the symptoms are “resolving and improving,” Conley told reporters at a press conference.
Dr. Sean Dooley, a Walter Reed pulmonologist, said Trump is receiving multidisciplinary care.
“We are monitoring him very closely for any evidence of complications from either the coronavirus illness or the therapies that we are prescribing to make him better,” Dooley said.
Walter Reed, the nation’s largest joint military medical center, is about 15 miles northwest of the White House.
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
Trump has been given a dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail, at least one dose of Remdesivir, and zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin, and aspirin.
Polyclonal antibodies are a collection of antibodies produced by different B cells. Antibodies help protect the human body against foreign substances.
New York-based Regeneron said this week that initial data from a clinical trial showed the cocktail reduced viral load and the time to alleviate symptoms in non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Trump was also given zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin, and aspirin.
Zinc has shown success in COVID-19 treatment, particularly when combined with the anti-malarial hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, an antibiotic. People deficient in vitamin D should take it to protect against the new virus
He’s doing well. Very well.
