The COVID Diaries – 179 3rd October
There are contradictory comments today about the health of President Donald Trump. The president’s doctor, Dr Sean Conley said Mr Trump was “doing very well.
However, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters that Mr Trump went through a “very concerning” period on Friday, and said the next 48 hours will “be critical” to his care.
There is also uncertainty about when Donald Trump tested positive. At a press conference Dr Conley suggested Mr Trump learned of his diagnosis 72 hours ago. According to White House officials, and a later statement by Dr Conley, he meant to say that Mr Trump was three days into his illness, and that he tested positive on Thursday night
