Trump Again Downplays Virus as White House Outbreak Spreads

Dr. Conley said Monday that because of Trump’s unusual level of treatment so early after discovery of his illness he was in “uncharted territory", adding that Trump would not be fully “out of the woods” for another week.

The coronavirus can be unpredictable, and Conley has noted it can become more dangerous as the body responds.

Days seven through 10 can be "the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness”, he said over the weekend.

There were also lingering questions about potential long-term effects to the president — and even when he first came down with the virus.

Conley has repeatedly declined to share results of medical scans of Trump’s lungs, saying he was not at liberty to discuss the information because Trump did not waive doctor-patient confidentiality on the subject.
