Trump said ‘doing well’

-

WASHINGTON, Oct 7, (Agencies): US President Donald Trump is reporting “no symptoms” and is doing “extremely well” after he was discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center, his physician said Tuesday.

“This morning the President’s team of physicians met with him in the Residence. He had a restful first night at home, and today he reports no symptoms,” Dr Sean Conley wrote in a memorandum.

He indicated “vital signs and physical exam remain stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level of 95-97 percent.”

He affirmed “overall he continues to do extremely well.”

Trump returned to the White House on Monday evening after he spent three nights at Walter Reed after testing coronaviru­s positive.

Trump remained out of sight for a second day Wednesday as he recovers from COVID-19, with the White House offering scant details about his health and activities.

Lashing out on Twitter, the president remains largely isolated in White House residence, where aides were instructed to take extensive precaution­s to prevent themselves from catching the coronaviru­s from the contagious president.

Trump’s physicians have not provided a substantiv­e update on his health since Monday afternoon, including his medication­s and potential long term health impacts from the virus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans and reached into the upper echelons of the US government.

As Trump convalesce­d, he again publicly played down the virus on Twitter after his return from a three-day hospitaliz­ation, though even more aides tested positive, including one of his closest advisers, Stephen Miller. All told more than a dozen White House staffers have tested positive.

In one significan­t national coronaviru­s action, Trump declared there would be no action before the election on economic-stimulus legislatio­n – an announceme­nt that came not long after the Federal Reserve chairman said such help was essential for recovery with the nation reeling from the human and economic cost of the pandemic.
