We will get out of this together!” His personal physician has also confirmed that Trump will continue to run the office. Sean Conley said in a statement: “Please be assured that I expect the President to continue to serve uninterruptedly during his recovery.”
Trump belongs to the risk group
Little is known about Trump’s condition. So far, he has apparently shown no symptoms, just like the first lady. She wrote on Twitter: “We are fine.” However, the course of the disease could get worse. Trump is 74 years old and belongs to the risk group. According to the Robert Koch Institute, almost Nine out of ten patients who died with Covid-19 (86 percent) are 70 years of age or older. The president of the United States belongs to this age group.

Additionally, an unannounced hospital stay from Trump fueled rumors in September. His personal physician, Conley, wrote at the time that Donald Trump did not suffer a stroke or a disorder of the cardiovascular system.
Trump boasts of his health

At the same time, however, she has been battling obesity for years, which is also a risk factor for Covid 19 disease. Her former personal physician Ronny Jackson. said in an interview with the “New York Times”that he did everything he could to get Trump to lose 15 pounds, but it didn’t work.
A White House spokesman, Judd Deere, said: “The President takes the health and safety of himself and all who work for him and the American people very seriously.” Yet Trump had repeatedly downplayed the virus, usually does not wear mouth and nose protection in public.
In May, it emerged that Trump said he was taking an anti-malaria drug to prevent Covid-19 disease. Since the president is now infected, “hydroxychloroquine” doesn’t seem to have brought much in.
