“It seems I am immune,” US President Donald Trump, 74, said Sunday in a telephone interview with news station Fox News, who leaned on him and translated: “It seems I am immune “. The perceived immunity was like a “protective glow” for him, Trump said, feeling fantastic and saying he was no longer taking any medications. According to his own assessment, he is healthy. He passed the toughest tests and was in great shape.
Trump said he had tested positive for the corona virus on October 1. Due to a Covid-19 illness, he was treated for three days starting October 2 at Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington DC. Experts believe that people who have survived a corona infection may be immune to the virus. For how long, but it is not yet clear.
Trump had made a public appearance in a campaign for the first time on Saturday. At noon he spoke from the balcony of the White House to supporters of the black and Hispanic communities who had gathered on the lawn below. He had previously concealed his disease status and avoided questions about current test results in interviews.
In Sunday’s interview, Trump again promoted the Covid treatment with an experimental antibody cocktail from the biotech company Regeneron that was administered to him at the hospital. The drug is not a treatment method, but a “cure” and a “miracle” that should soon be available to everyone, Trump said.
Antibody treatments developed by various manufacturers have yet to be officially approved and will only be available in relatively small quantities for the foreseeable future. Critics suspect Trump of touting the drug as a magic bullet to use to distract attention from his administration’s failure to contain the pandemic ahead of the November 3 presidential election.
According to Trump’s personal physician, the president of the United States is no longer contagious. The latest coronavirus test has shown according to “currently recognized standards” that Trump “no longer poses a transmission risk to others,” physician Sean Conley said Saturday night in a letter distributed by the White House.
