JOHANNESBURG – US President Donald Trump said he “learned a lot about COVID” by “actually going to school” as he has battled the virus in hospital.
“I learned a lot about COVID, I really learned it by going to school,” Trump said in a video posted on Twitter.
“This is the real school. This is not the ‘let’s read the books’ school, and I get it, and I get it, and it’s very interesting.”
While still receiving treatment for the coronavirus, Trump left his neighborhood with his security team on Sunday so he could ride in a van alongside supporters cheering him on outside the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
A treating physician at the hospital has criticized the passing by vehicles as a risk to the lives of the Secret Service agents who accompanied him.
