Covid affected US President Donald Trump has been given steroid dexamethasone as his blood oxygen level dipped twice since Friday .
Although Dr Eric Feigl Ding, an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the
Federation of American Scientists, told Al Jazeera that Trump being
given dexamethasone is “a extremely worrying sign”.
World Health Organization says it is only used for critical and severe patients. It actually recommends against people who are not serious,” he said. “NIH [National Institutes of Health] also says it only for serious patients who are either on ventilators or supplemental oxygen, which Trump barely qualifies for.”
Trump posted a video Saturday in which he said he was feeling better,
but he also acknowledged that the next few days will be the “real test”
as he undergoes treatment. White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said he
is “cautiously optimistic” about Trump’s condition but the president is
“not yet out of the woods.“
