President Donald Trump’s medical team delivered an update on October 4, of his condition, as the president’s personal physician acknowledged delivering an overly rosy description of his illness a day earlier. The details of the briefing signalled to some health experts that the president’s condition might be more serious than a mild case of coronavirus. Later in the day, presumably to allay concerns, Trump posted an upbeat if rambling video praising his doctors at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Wearing a dark jacket and no necktie, Trump stood in the video and spoke energetically and with no apparent trouble breathing as he praised the “enthusiasm” of his supporters outside the hospital, then promised to pay them a surprise visit. A short time later, Trump’s black SUV, escorted by Secret Service vehicles, appeared on the street outside the hospital. On October 2, the doctors said that Trump had a “high fever” and that there had been two incidents when his oxygen levels dropped — one on October 2 and one on October 3. They said that Trump received oxygen at the White House on October 2. Trump’s oxygen levels dropped to 93% at one point, his doctors said; that is below the 95% level that is considered the lower limit of the normal range, reported The New York Times. Many medical experts consider patients to have severe COVID-19 if their oxygen levels drop below 94%. On October 4, Trump thanked the medical professionals for the great job they are doing and that he would be back soon. Trump also said, “We will beat the coronavirus soundly.” Trump also informed that the first lady, Melania Trump is also doing ‘well’. Many people from the White House have tested positive for the deadly coronavirus.
