"There is some element of disconnect between how you look and feel and what's going on inside you with this disease," one expert said.
Allowing President Donald Trump to leave Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and return home to the White House while he remains in a potentially dangerous period of the illness is risky, some medical experts said Monday.
Trump is receiving several medications, including the antiviral remdesivir and the steroid dexamethasone. Both are given intravenously, which can be done at the White House. He also received a single infusion of an experimental antibody treatment Friday, the White House said.Experts say the first seven to 10 days of the illness are key.

"The real question that we do not know is what is going on with his inflammatory markers, because that's going to be key," Cassiere said.
"My sense is that it's like stepping from an ICU onto a hospital floor," said Dr. Steve Shapiro, a pulmonologist and chief medical and scientific officer at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center."The doctors will be there and nurses will be there. They can give him IV therapy. I suspect they can do quite a bit."
