White House Physician Expects Trump’s ‘Safe Return To Public Engagements’ Saturday : NPR

White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said in a memo on Thursday that “I fully anticipate the president’s safe return to public engagements” on Saturday, based on the date he tested positive for the coronavirus and his response to treatment.

Conley did not provide any information about whether Trump has or will be tested for the virus. He said Trump’s physical example “has remained stable and devoid of any indications to suggest progression of illness.”

He said Trump has responded “extremely well to treatment” and said there is no sign of “adverse therapeutic effects.”

“Today the President has completed his course of therapy for COVID-19 as prescribed by his team of physicans,” Conley said in a memo.

“Saturday will be day 10 since Thursday’s diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the President’s safe return to public engagements at that time,” Conley said.

The memo comes as Trump and his campaign fight with the Commission on Presidential Debates which decided to make the next debate – slated for Thursday Oct 15 in Miami – virtual for safety reasons. Trump said he was not interested in that idea.
