Bethesda: US President Donald Trump 74 tested positive for Covid-19 in recently said that in a video release on Saturday that he was feeling much better now. “I feel much better now; we’re working hard to get me all the way back.”

That message contrasted with a more optimistic assessment from his doctors, such as White House physician Sean Conley who characterized Trump as mobile, fever-free for 24 hours and with an improving cough and less nasal congestion and fatigue.

“I think I’ll be back soon and I look forward to finishing up the campaign the way it was started,” Trump said. The president added that he’d had “no choice” other than to work from his hospital suite rather than cocooning himself in his bedroom for his recovery. Trump has all the capabilities of White House communications in a special suite at the hospital that allows him to carry out his normal duties.
