WHAT WE DON’T KNOW: TRUMP’S MEDICAL CONDITION
Trump's medical team continued to dodge many questions Sunday, such as the specific timing of the president’s dip in oxygen and the impact of the disease on his lungs. Asked repeatedly about what lung scan tests found and whether there have been any signs of pneumonia or other damage, Conley responded: “We’re tracking all of that. There are some expected findings but nothing of any major clinical concern.” Conley also hasn't specified where Trump is in the “disease course” of COVID-19. Days seven to 10 typically are a time of higher concern, he said. As far as the drive-by greeting to supporters, CDC guidelines say that, in general, moving a patient with COVID-19 outside his room should be limited to "medically essential purposes.” The outing suggests to the common observer Trump's condition is not perilous, but medical authorities note that talk of Trump leaving the hospital for home after only a few days doesn't square with information about his treatments.
