President Trump sends message to Americans after being discharged from hospital

US President Donald Trump left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and returned to the White House on the evening of October 5 (US time) to continue the fight against Covid-19 after his medical team warned the President "is not completely out of danger".

Still, the President said on the afternoon of October 5 that he was "feeling really good." The US leader wrote on Twitter: "Don't be afraid of Covid-19. Don't let it dominate your life. We've developed, under the Donald Trump administration, really good medicine and great knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago."

Mr Trump appeared to be returning to his re-election campaign shortly after leaving Walter Reed, telling his Twitter followers he would be back on the race soon and end the polls that showed him trailing Democratic rival Joe Biden.

President Trump returned to the White House after his physician, Dr. Sean Conley, held a press conference detailing the President's battle with Covid-19.

"The president is not out of danger," Conley said, but said Trump could safely return home in his current condition, where he would be monitored 24/7 by medical staff.

Mr. Conley also added that the President met "most of the conditions for discharge" on the afternoon of October 4 (US time).

Another member of the President's medical team said Mr. Trump's heart rate measured on October 5 was 68 beats per minute and his blood oxygen level was 97%, within the normal blood oxygen level range of 95 - 100%.

Mr. Conley told reporters on October 5 that the President had not needed to take fever-reducing medication in the past 72 hours.

The medical team also said the President did not experience any "respiratory symptoms" and would receive a fourth dose of remdesivir before leaving Walter Reed on October 5 evening and would receive a final dose of remdesivir at the White House on October 6.

Mr Conley stressed that Mr Trump would receive world-class medical care at the White House, saying "we will not miss anything we see here", and asserted that the President would "come back".

Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump, who also tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, said on October 5 that she "feels well".

"My family is so grateful for all the prayers and support. I am feeling well and will continue to rest at home. Thank you to the medical staff and health care workers everywhere. I will continue to pray for those who are sick or have loved ones infected with this virus," the First Lady said./.
