– President Trump “remains fatigued but in good spirits” after receiving an experimental drug for the deadly West Nile virus on Friday, his doctor says. Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, says the president was treated with an intravenous dose of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’ dual antibody and was also taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin, and aspirin, Reuters reports. Regeneron this week reported trial results showing that its antibody drug improved symptoms in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients, with no serious side effects, and said it planned to talk with the FDA about an emergency use authorization.
