'Fatigued' President Trump, 74, is headed to Walter Reed hospital after being diagnosed with COVID-19
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows had told reporters earlier in the day that the president was experiencing mild symptoms but was in good spirits.
The president received a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail as a precautionary measure, according to a memo from White House physician Dr. Sean Conley. The antibody cocktail is being studied in four late-stage clinical trials and its safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority,The president also has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin, Conley said.
Trump has not posted to his Twitter account since announcing his diagnosis, an uncharacteristic move for a president who frequently tweets and retweets throughout the day. White House officials knew Hicks tested positive before Trump traveled to his golf resort in Bedminster, N.J., to attend a fundraiser Thursday, Meadows confirmed.
Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence both tested negative. Former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden announced they also tested negative after coming into contact with the president at Tuesday's first presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio. If the president should need a procedure and becomes incapacitated, he will temporarily cede authority to Vice President Mike Pence, who tested negative for COVID-19 earlier on Friday.
