What we know and don't about Drumpf's COVID illness
What we know and what we don't about Trump's COVID illness
Conley in daily news briefings at Walter Reed has detailed vital signs like temperature and blood pressure when they are normal, but repeatedly refused to give information that would indicate how serious the president’s respiratory troubles may have been, in particular.
Conley also has failed to explain why Trump is receiving treatment typically reserved for difficult COVID-19 cases.
Trump’s doctors said Monday the president had refused to waive patient-doctor confidentiality to allow them to discuss the results of his lung scans. COVID-19 can cause significant damage to lungs. Scans reveal signs of pneumonia and other problems.
