What we know and what we do not know about the Trump Coronavirus

There are many unanswered questions regarding Donald Trump’s diagnosis and treatment of Covid-19. Associated Press has it Big breakdown What we know about Trump’s coronavirus case and we still don’t know it.

What symptoms does he have?

The White House has officially provided few details, except that it was plagued by fever and exhaustion.

How is it treated?

Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Connelly, said doctors were feeding Trump an experimental cocktail of antibodies. Vitamin D famotidine, which is commonly used to treat heartburn and acid reflux; Melatonin to sleep. And aspirin.

While initially stating that Trump intended to remain in the White House, the White House announced late on Friday afternoon that Trump would instead operate from “presidential offices” at Walter Reed.

When did Trump know it was revealed?

This question is important to answer whether the president has continued his campaign events and other activities despite knowing that he may infect others, and to know whether the White House is sufficiently transparent about Trump’s illness.

White House officials said they learned of Counselor Hope Hicks’ positive tests for the Coronavirus on Thursday, after Trump boarded a Marine One helicopter to attend a private fundraising party in New Jersey. But Trump went ahead with the trip and collect donations. He told Fox News that evening that he was undergoing testing.

Just before 1 a.m. on Friday morning, he wrote on Twitter that he had tested positive, along with First Lady Melania Trump.

Who hit Trump?

We don’t know, although there’s no shortage of potential suspects. Trump, who has traditionally avoided masks, has been about hundreds if not thousands of people this week, traveling to a campaign rally, golf club, presidential debate, fundraising, and meeting with the people involved in his nomination for Amy Cooney Barrett for the Supreme Court.

Officials said that Hicks, one of Trump’s closest advisers, contracted the Coronavirus on Wednesday while accompanying Trump at a fundraising event in Minnesota. It is not clear if her case is linked to that of the president. Senator Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah who was in the White House last weekend, announced on Friday that he had tested positive for the virus.

The White House medical unit will track the president’s communications.
