– President Trump’s doctors say he’s “doing very well” after being diagnosed with the deadly virus known as coronavirus, but a source familiar with his health tells Reuters that some of his vital signs have been “very concerning” over the last 24 hours. White House doctor Sean Conley declined to give a timetable for Trump’s possible release from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was admitted Friday after being diagnosed with the virus. “The team and I are extremely happy with the progress the president has made,” Conley said Saturday, per the New York Times. Conley said Trump, 74, has been treated with an experimental drug and a five-day course of an intravenous antiviral called Remdesivir, though it’s not clear when he will be released from the hospital. Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, also tested positive for the virus Friday and will work from home, according to a senior campaign official. Vice President Mike Pence, who would take over presidential duties if Trump became severely ill, tested negative, a spokesman said. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was himself hospitalized with COVID-19 in April, told reporters on Saturday he had no doubt Trump would make a strong recovery. “He’s a naturally obviously very resilient character and I’m sure he’ll come through it very well,” Johnson said. Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a message to Trump and his wife on Saturday, wishing them a speedy recovery, Chinese state TV said.
