Thursday night into Friday morning when I left the bedside, the president was doing well, with only mild symptoms, and his oxygen was in the high 90s. Late Friday morning when I returned to the bedside, the president had a high fever and his oxygen saturation was transiently dipping below 94%. Despite this, everyone agreed the best course of action was to move to Walter Reed for more thorough evaluation and monitoring.SEAN DOOLEY, PULMONARY CRITICAL CARE DOCTOR: Thank you Dr. Conley.
I'll now turn it over to Dr. Garibaldi from Johns Hopkins to talk about our therapeutics and again, our plan for the day. REPORTER: You said there were two instances where he had drops in oxygen. Can you walk us through the second one? And also I've got a question for the lung specialist afterwards.

President Trump's optimistic outlook is a testimony to his positivity. It is also a testimony to a strong leader. No matter what the doctors report on President Trump the media will spin it negatively. Thank you realDonaldTrump for your strong leadership. 👍🇺🇲👍🇺🇲
Terror-is-Trump must be terminated.
Huh?
Remdesivir is an HIV antiviral and it’s being used off label for COVID. Five days of IV Remdesivir and Dexamethasone yet there are those who can’t handle it since it causes thrombocytopenia.
Returning home Monday? Something smells fishy.
It sounds a lot like he “didn’t want to jinx it”. 🙄
He said it looking in his rear view as we are now headed in a ..wait for it...different direction. Well played
How did they find this liar?
What makes more sense, that Fuckface VonClownstick has COVID-19 or that this is just another lie to distract from the debate, stand back-stand by, taxes and pushing a new supreme court judge through?
I told you he was lying before he was finished speaking.
Problem?
That's just plain stupid.
How does information have anything to do with the course of illness?
Información doesn't steer illness. So much blatant dancing around. SeanConley: 'As with any illness, there are frequent ups and downs, particularly when a patient is being so closely watched 24 hours a day.' Sounds like the less testing argument to see less issues!
🤮
Comments can impact an illness?!?
That’s magical thinking.
Hahaha I swear realDonaldTrump has made the US into a comedy show.
“any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction.' WTH does this mean? How can information steer the course of an illness? Information just is.
that sounds EXACTLY like a trump “doctor”. he should “play it down” so that the virus doesn’t hear about it.
What purpose does Conley have, other following the will of POTUS? He's sold!
Just. Tell. The. TRUTH.
My take on Dr. Conley.......first of all, while “dr’s of osteopathy “ are educated in one philosophy of medical treatment and can hang out their shingle, most of us from the medical profession much prefer a board certified Medical Dr. when seeking treatment. (Like epidemiology)
Whatever that means
Right, because... the power of suggestion?
He has an audience of one.
Yeah, well, most viruses rarely respond to verbal cues.
Can’t let Trump get mad and throw a tantrum!!! So lie!
Where EXACTLY are they administering his 'infusions'? In the hand? Forearm? Crease of arm? We should know considering the Staged photos. Someone get on asking that specific ?
That's the dumbest excuse I have ever heard. Did anyone press him on that?
MSM Ask what compounding conditions Trump has. Syphilis may be one.
He may have been talking about Trump’s mental illness...
There're hiding everything as they hid the severity of the virus, SMH when will they come clean
I mean, if we talk about rainbows and unicorns in a majestic joyful happy land, maybe the virus will listen. Good approach
Very osteopathic thing to say
Huh? Don’t think the virus cares.....
The information doesn't change how the virus is acting in someone. WTF? This is disgusting. POTUS works for us, we have every right to know information about his health, especially if he is incapacitated by covid.
If Covid finds out about his numbers, then the virus might devise another ghastly plot! Guard your words, everyone!
This guy is a doctor? Does he think Corona is listening? Wtf
was this a diagnosis from Dr. Seuss Please give me back the minutes of my life having taken to read this ridiculous and presumptive post!!! I’m literally stupider for reading this CRAP!
...therefore throwing away years and years of medical credibility in mere minutes forever.
Of course he did, because, DOWNPLAYING the virus is Donald Trump's M.O.
So he didn’t want to jinx it?!?
Welcome to the broadcast
The illness is listening? Damn.
“When we can, when he'll move out into public, we move him about out and around other people that aren't in full PPE, I'll assure you, as long as he's still under my care, we'll talk about him wearing a mask.” This is some serious word-dancing.
Is there not one single person in trump's orbit that will NOT sacrifice their own integrity and credibility to propagate the lies and deception of trump's manufactured alternative reality? Anyone?
What is he, a witch doctor? He can change the course of an illness by giving out information?
The doctors tell us over & over how much “they are honored” to work on “the President..shades of Pence. ... “extras” getting Covid too? Would they lie for Trump? Yes. Heck, Chris Christie drove to the hospital. Must b legit. Trump’s history of 20,000+ lies led to this Doubt’
Does anyone understand what he means? Please translate. Is he saying he doesn’t want to upset the patient which in turn would worsen the patient’s illness so he’s providing selected facts to share with the media?
they told us they going to infect the preaident
Yes, because that’s how sickness works. If you project positivity it goes away. It’s called science.
He evaded nothing; his “attempts” to evade was revealing enough and forever damaged his credibility.
The comments are hilarious and sick at the same time. The dude is going to be fine. Y’all are setting him up to be Tephlon Don again. Calm down, stop wishing for someone you don’t know to die and focus on your own damn life
What bs.
Like the virus would hear them and attack Trump even worse? Where do these doctors come from? Is he a partner of the doctor who said women get gyno problems from sex demons visiting in the night?
Psst? Doctor Conley! *whispering* Is the virus listening to us right now?
WTF sort of lame excuse is that?!?
Where are the Tests of the President having Corona Virus? The American people want to see the paperwork and medical records of this claim. The President works for the American people and we demand to see what our employee is ‘ is in fact claiming..when in truth maybe it’s a lie ?
The Lying White Coats
He thought the virus might b listening ? 🤔
We don’t for need him to project optimism. We need for him to tell the truth.
The medical team-- No women. All white. Coincidence or by design?
I never knew a Dr.’s words could steer the course of an illness,Is he saying words can make the illness better or worse, sounds like a bunch of gobbledygook to me
The virus goes wherever the fuck it wants.🦠🖕🤡🦠💀
Tell them to just stop talking!
lol wut
Wait what? How can information steer the course of an illness in another direction? Illnesses are treated with medication and medical procedures not by what someone says. These are not magical incantations. Who are these doctors?
Yeah, COVID doesn’t care what any doctor says. Do they mean to say “steer the course of the stock market?”
How can factual information steer the course of an illness? This make no sense for a medical professional!
usgov
I didn’t know that the virus responds to verbal statements.
OUTRAGEOUS behaviors from Dr. Conley. Don't gaslight us. We are done.
NAChristakis, didn't you write an outstanding book about this very phenomenon? I.e., even doctors sometimes think if they offer a pessimistic/realistic prognosis, it's more likely to come true...
Clown
How does a statement affect the course of an illness. This is BS.
Well, apparently the virus is now sentient and understands english. Not mandarin? Huh...
How does his report steer the course of a virus?
Where the hell did this moron go to medical school?
Drink every time they say “transient”
🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Wouldn’t want to cause a panic, huh.
So it's like if you don't test there are no cases? If you say out loud that his oxygen is low it will make it low?
Why not tell us how bad Trump is So We CaN pRaY fOr HiM
Whatever. We’re over the lies and no one is listening to them anymore.
I did not know truth was detrimental to one's health.
What the eff does that mean?
When will this Circus END:!!!!
So the bleach injection and doses of hydroxychloroquine are off the table?
They appear to have to cover up one lie with another lie, with another lie, whilst th president is furious w too much info to th public! If you're sick, really sick...why would you care what is said?
How does telling the truth “steer the course of the illness”? Word salad to cover for Trump.
That makes no damn sense.
That statement makes zero sense. Mark him down as another otherwise legit scientists/expert/doctor that has been corrupted by Trumpism.
True definition of fake news.
In short, he lied
How does that even work?
Steer it to the truth, perhaps?
Huh?
