Former President Donald Trump was more seriously ill from the coronavirus in October than the general public was informed at the time, a brand-new report stated.
Trump, after contracting Covid-19, had “extremely depressed blood oxygen levels at one point and a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus,” The New York Times reported, pointing out 4 individuals knowledgeable about his condition.
His condition was so bad, the Times stated, that “officials believed he would be put on a ventilator” prior to he was drawn from the White House to Walter Reed National Military Center.
According to the paper, an individual near the ex-president rejected that he had actually been seriously ill, echoing remarks Trump made after he was ill.
The Times kept in mind that when Trump went to the medical facility in early October — a month prior to the governmental election — his medical group attempted to minimize the seriousness of his condition in remarks to the general public.
