RECEIVED A SPECIAL ANTIBODY
THERAPY.
WORKING WITH THE COMPANY TO
MONITOR HIM IN TERMS OF THE
OUTCOME, YESTERDAY EVENING HE
RECEIVED HIS FIRST DOSE, OUR
PLAN IS TO CONTINUE A FIVE DAY

THE BIG PLAN FOR TODAY, IN

ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S HEALTH,
IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS.

HAD OVER WALKING AROUND, 96
PERCENT.

THAT IS RIGHT.
>> NEVER RECEIVED ANY AT ALL?

RIGHT.
>> ESTIMATED DATE OF WHEN HE
MIGHT BE DISCHARGED?

DATE ON THAT.
HE IS DOING SO WELL BUT WITH
THE COURSE OF THE ILLNESS, 7-10
WE GET CONCERNED ABOUT THE
PHASE 2. GIVEN THAT WE PROVIDED
THERAPY EARLY IN THE COURSE,
HARD TO TELL WHERE HE IS ON
THAT COURSE.
SO EVERY DAY WE ARE EVALUATING.
DOES HE NEED TO BE HERE, WHAT
DOES HE NEED AND WHERE IS HE
GOING.

OXYGEN GOING FORWARD?

HAD NONE.
