Twitter Inc on Sunday flagged a tweet from the President of the United States, Donald Trump, in which he claimed that he was immune to the coronavirus, for violating company rules on the dissemination of misleading and potentially harmful information related to Covid-19.
“A full and complete shutdown of the White House doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune), and I can’t give it. Good to know !!!” Trump said in a tweet, that he has now been flagged by Twitter with a disclaimer.
A full and complete farewell to the White House doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune) and I can’t manage it. Very good to know !!!

Trump rallied hundreds of supporters for a comeback event at the White House, returning to the election race nine days after Covid-19 stopped him in his tracks.
“I’m fine!” Trump testified as he stepped out onto a White House balcony on Saturday, removing his mask to address the crowd, most of them masked under their red “Make America Great Again” hats, but with little social distancing.
“Get out there and vote, and I love you,” Trump told supporters, who chanted “America” and “Four more years” during the speech that lasted just under 20 minutes.
The White House doctor announced Saturday night that the president “is no longer considered a transmission risk.”
The tests showed that “there was no longer evidence that the virus was actively replicating” and that Trump’s viral load was “declining,” Sean Conley said, although he did not say the president was virus-free.
Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that, for mild or moderate cases of Covid-19, isolation and precautions can be discontinued 10 days after the onset of symptoms and once patients have been no fever for 24 hours. However, the severity of Trump’s illness has not been confirmed.
