A wave of infections in the White House among Trump’s top lieutenants and press aides has left the West Wing struggling to find its footing. At least 19 people close to Trump have tested positive.
Trump has described himself as a man who beat the disease and emerged stronger, telling Americans not to be afraid of Covid-19. Harris blamed him for not being honest with the American people about the risks posed by the virus.
The latest Reuters / Ipsos poll, conducted Friday through Tuesday, found that 56% of American adults disapprove of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, and only 38% approve. Two-thirds said they believed he could have avoided getting sick if he had taken the disease seriously, rather than avoiding face covering and social distancing guidelines.
In a withering editorial, the New England Journal of Medicine accused the federal government of a staggering degree of failure in the Covid-19 crisis that “turned it into a tragedy.”
In his video address, Trump repeatedly emphasized how good he felt so far in his recovery from Covid-19. His doctors have only provided limited details about his condition.
The video’s release followed assurances from the White House that the 74-year-old president was back in the Oval Office Wednesday to receive information on the economic stimulus talks and Hurricane Delta.
