The six lane highway was cleared, Secret Service guards found out, and then the unmistakable site of the presidential motorcade moving towards where we were standing thistles.

Quite an unbelievable scene.

The president, who is being treated for coronavirus part of his convoy, has just come down this busy road.

All traffic has been cleared on.

The president is waving at his supporters to say thank you for coming out to back him while he is meant to be in the hospital.

On you could see Alvar vehicles of a presidential convoy accompanying the president.

Donald Trump, probably the world's most impatient patient, even released a video.

It's been very interesting journey.

I learned a lot about Cove It.

They might get sick.

This is insanity, and you'll see him shortly.

You know he's back.

The president's returning to the White House tonight, though he'll still require treatment on his.

Doctors say he's not yet out of the woods.

Meanwhile, it's been announced that the president's press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, is the latest to test positive for coronavirus.

It seems the president's doctors have thrown everything they can at his infection.

But getting an exact picture of his state of health hasn't been easy, the White House says.

President Trump and the first lady tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday evening, his doctor said.

My experience from looking after patients typically present to hospital after being unwell at home for about 5 to 7 days.

It's around that sort of time that they start to need oxygen.

So it's entirely possible that Donald Trump may have been unwell or had an infection in the background for a few days before he tested positive for coming to hospital.

Later on Friday, President Trump was flown toe Walter Reed Hospital.

There he was given a second drug, Randy Severe.

This is an antiviral, which was approved in May as a co vid 19 therapy.

Don't give decks Method zone.

But that's rather more black and white than the subtlety of ah, about one on one clinical conversation decision Co vid Patients who appear to be getting better can sometimes take a turn for the worst several days into the infection, so the president's doctors won't relax until he's fully recovered.
