 Donald Trump's coronavirus treatment suggests he could have a serious infection, experts say

Medical experts indirectly involved in the treatment of US President Donald Trump have suggested that the president of the United States may be suffering from a more severe case of coronavirus than claimed by his doctors.

Trump's doctors have offered a positive review of his condition, according to an article published in The New York Times Monday. However, some medical details they revealed - including his fluctuating oxygen levels and the decision to start treatment with a steroid - suggest that his case could be serious.

Although videos released by the White House show little evidence that Trump is ill, doctors at a press conference at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center announced that the president's drop in oxygen levels indicates that the lungs of the patient is compromised. .

The president's medical team also said he was prescribed dexamethasone on Saturday. The drug is a steroid used to prevent the immune system's over-resistance, which kills many patients with COVID-19.

The drug is useful in people with critical or severe COVID-19 who need extra oxygen because the drug is not useful - and can be dangerous, in people with cases of mild illness.

Dexamethasone is the most mysterious of the drugs currently being administered, Drs. Thomas McGinn, chief medical officer of Northwell Health, is New York State's largest provider of health care. The drug is generally not used unless the patient's condition seems to be getting worse, he added.

However, given the ambiguous picture of Trump’s medics, it is unclear whether they gave him dexamethasone too soon or whether the president was more ill than the public. Last week, Trump announced that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus and would end "immediately. We can get through this together!" The US president tweeted.

Trump, who has been playing the virus since it began in the United States, was taken to Walter Reed Military Hospital for treatment.

 Many political leaders around the world - as well as Joe Biden, his main opponent in the upcoming presidential election - are seeking a speedy recovery.
