Trump’s 3-night stay at Walter Reed was a relatively quicker trip compared to other coronavirus patients, research and medical experts say. One doctor said his patients tend to stay for six to eight days.
President Donald Trump was discharged from Walter Reed medical center on Monday evening, three nights after he was admitted Friday to the military hospital for coronavirus treatment.
Trump is “not out of the woods” yet, but he’ll have “world class medical care 24/7” at the White House, the president’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said Monday afternoon. COVID-19 had infected 7.4 million Americans and resulted in 209,811 deaths as of Monday, according to an ongoing tally from Johns Hopkins University.
When Trump announced early Friday that he and his wife, Melania, had tested positive, observers noted Trump, a 74-year-old man weighing 243 pounds at his last physical, was at a higher risk for a severe case. The discrepancy between the hospitalization stays for patients in China and patients elsewhere may have to do with differing admission and discharge criteria, the researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
