[00:00.04]United States President Donald Trump wrote Monday on Twitter:
[00:05.00]"I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M.
[00:11.64]Feeling really good! Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life."
[00:18.84]He added, "I feel better than I did 20 years ago!"
[00:25.16]Dr. Sean Conley is the president's personal doctor.
[00:30.20]He said "though he may not be entirely out of the woods yet,
[00:34.92]the team and I agree that all our evaluations...
[00:38.88]support the president's safe return home."
[00:44.24]Conley added that privacy "rules and regulations"
[00:48.72]bar him from sharing information to protect Trump's safety and health.
[00:55.96]Trump announced last Friday that he and his wife Melania
[01:01.12]had tested positive for COVID-19.
[01:05.72]He has since received several aggressive treatments for the coronavirus
[01:11.24]during a three-day stay at Walter Reed medical center.
[01:16.96]Dr. Conley first said on Friday
[01:19.92]that the president "was doing well with only mild symptoms."
[01:26.32]Conley later said Trump got "high fever,"
[01:30.04]or high body temperature, and was given oxygen.
[01:35.00]He said the president's blood oxygen level was below 94 percent.
[01:42.40]The National Institutes of Health's COVID-19 treatment guidelines
[01:47.96]consider those with blood oxygen level at 94 percent or lower
[01:53.04]as having moderate to severe illness.
[01:57.64]The health agency notes that a low level of blood oxygen
[02:01.68]is common among COVID-19 patients.
[02:06.48]As the president was transported Friday to Walter Reed Medical Center,
[02:11.64]Conley released a letter saying that the president received an 8-gram dose
[02:17.36]of experimental antibody treatment from the company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
[02:24.08]The president also took substances such as: "zinc,
[02:28.04]vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin."
[02:35.12]Regeneron's antibody treatment, called REGN-COV2,
[02:39.80]started its human trial in late June.
[02:44.48]It combines a "genetically-modified" antibody made by the company
[02:49.72]and a second antibody from recovered COVID-19 patients.
[02:55.48]The treatment is designed to connect the antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19
[03:02.40]and limit its ability to spread in an infected person.
[03:08.32]This idea has been used in the past to develop drugs to treat other viruses
[03:14.64]such as HIV, the cause of the disease AIDS.
[03:20.12]On September 29, the New York-based company told investors
[03:25.04]that the treatment appeared to be safe.
[03:29.16]The company said in a statement that the treatment also reduced
[03:33.28]viral levels and improved symptoms in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
[03:41.40]The treatment, however, has not been studied by independent scientists.
[03:47.40]And it has not been approved for emergency use authorization (EUA)
[03:52.36]by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
[03:56.64]During a news conference Saturday,
[03:59.20]the president's doctors confirmed that he has started
[04:02.48]a five-day treatment of the anti-viral drug remdesivir on Friday.
[04:09.04]The FDA first approved remdesivir for the treatment of hospitalized patients
[04:14.72]"with severe COVID-19" in May.
[04:19.44]The agency expanded the emergency use authorization in August
[04:24.52]to anyone with COVID-19, regardless of the severity of their disease.
[04:32.52]The drug appeared to help patients with moderate COVID-19 to recover faster
[04:38.48]after a five-day treatment when compared to others with usual care.
[04:45.28]The result was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in August.
[04:52.36]The National Institutes of Health (NIH) says the drug "works
[04:56.60]by stopping the virus from spreading in the body."
[05:01.12]The health agencies warned of possible side effects including damage to liver,
[05:06.88]low blood pressure and vomiting.
[05:11.52]On Sunday, Dr. Conley reported that Trump's blood oxygen level on Saturday
[05:17.88]"dropped down to about 93 percent."
[05:22.20]He added, "We watched it and it returned back up."
[05:27.04]The president's doctor also said Trump was given another drug, dexamethasone.
[05:34.04]Last June, researchers at the University of Oxford found that dexamethasone
[05:40.56]cut death rates by around a third among patients with the most severe cases of COVID-19.
[05:49.68]The drug has been in use since the 1960s
[05:53.68]to reduce swelling caused by diseases such as arthritis.
[06:00.28]The researchers said the findings suggest doctors should use the drug immediately
[06:07.16]as usual treatment for severely sick patients.
[06:12.16]The World Health Organization's Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
[06:17.48]said at the time, "This is the first treatment to be shown to reduce mortality
[06:23.40]in patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen or ventilator support."
[06:30.68]The NIH advises that the drug be used only for hospitalized COVID-19 patients
[06:37.80]who require oxygen or ventilator support.
[06:42.52]The guidelines suggest 6 mg a day for up to 10 days or until leaving the hospital.
[06:51.60]The agency says the drug has no benefit for patients who do not need oxygen help.
[06:57.64]And it could limit the body's ability to fight against infection.
[07:04.40]The coronavirus has now infected more than 35 million people around the world.
[07:11.72]Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Center
[07:16.32]reported that the disease has also killed more than 1 million people, i
[07:21.28]ncluding about 210,000 in the U.S.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
