Could you really trust them all to keep it secret in the face of the press offering big bucks to tell all?

Whatever about some of the drugs he's getting, the Regeneron cocktail is being trialed in different settings including as a preventive treatment. So, it doesn't look far fetched that he would be getting these drugs on the same basis, ie to prevent a mild infection from worsening. The medics as good as admitted though that he could be back in hospital any time over the next seven days if his condition worsens suddenly.

Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were more likely male, younger, and, in both the US and Spain, had fewer comorbidities and lower medication use than hospitalized influenza patients according to a recent study published by the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) community
(Boston) – Being previously infected with a coronaviruses that cause the “common cold” may decrease the severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infections, according to results of a new study. Led by researchers at Boston Medical Center and Boston University School of Medicine, the study also demonstrates that the immunity built up from previous non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infections does not prevent individuals from getting COVID-19. Published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the findings provide important insight into the immune response against SARS-CoV-2, which could have significant implications on COVID-19 vaccine development.
