Source: AP News
20 mins ago. WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on the 2020 presidential campaign (all times local):
7:35 p.m.
President Donald Trumps doctor says he fully anticipates Trump can make a safe return to public engagements on Saturday.
The assessment from Dr. Sean Conley comes in a letter Thursday updating on the presidents condition as he recovers from COVID-19. Conley says Trump has completed his course of therapy as prescribed by his team of physicians.
Trump is eager to return to the campaign trail with the election less than four weeks away.
Conleys letter also says the presidents vital signs on Thursday included a heart rate of 69 beats per minute and a blood pressure reading of 127/81.
Conley says that, overall, hes responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects.

But I guess his doctor, like he, doesn't care about the rest of us.

He's in for a major crash any day now. Sean Conley should have his license revoked.

(468 posts)then he was positive for the debate, and that's why he got there too late for the test. His guests refusal to wear masks was a blatant attempt to infect the Democratic delegation. That's how I see it. It is an attempted coup on our republic.

(1,997 posts)"Most people with coronavirus who have symptoms will no longer be contagious by 10 days after symptoms resolve. People who test positive for the virus but never develop symptoms over the following 10 days after testing are probably no longer contagious, but again there are documented exceptions. So some experts are still recommending 14 days of isolation."
Since they told us yesterday that he had been symptom free for 24 hours, that would be next Friday (10/16) at a minimum. But, if he was symptom free on any meds at all, that is pushed out even further.

or, he's just lying. though i hesitate to believe that a doctor would do that to the public health. i just don't know what's up anymore.
no adverse events?! the man is insane.

(3,426 posts)He therefore must fallow orders . Trump is commander and chief of the armed forces . His public comments are tailored to suit the president. In short same as Barr ,he serves at the pleasure of the president. Thing of it is ,punishment for being the cause of the presidents discomfort in Conley's case is far worse than simply being thrown under the bus. Because of a thing call disobeying orders.

(44,973 posts)Which I am assuming they would have, if he was.
They claimed he tested positive for antibodies, which means they talk about test results if those results are good for Trump. Of course Trump was infused with those same antibodies. So there is no evidence he is actually producing his own antibodies as far as I can tell.

Seems to me doctors evaluate first and then say the patient is free to go not predict that the virus is gone ahead of time.
