Ever since United States President Trump’s coronavirus infection became known, the world has been eagerly watching Washington. From there, Trump is now said to have mild cold symptoms, but is able to work. Challenger Biden tested negative.
His contagion with the coronavirus caused “mild symptoms” in the president of the United States, Donald Trump, as announced by the White House. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said: “I am optimistic that he will recover very quickly and quickly.” Trump is not only “in a good mood,” but also very energetic.
Trump tweeted in the morning that he and his wife Melania had tested positive for Sars-CoV-2. Both had immediately entered quarantine.
Melania also reported mild symptoms on Twitter, but overall she is fine. She is preparing for a speedy recovery.
The president can work
Trump was still Wednesday night at a campaign event in the state of Minnesota. At 45 minutes, the concert was significantly shorter than his other such dates, some of which lasted as long as an hour and a half. On the return flight, Trump temporarily fell asleep on the presidential plane, the “New York Times” wrote.
Both Trump’s chief of staff and personal physician assured him that he was fit to work. He served from his residence, it was said, as did Vice President Mike Pence. The staff of the two would be separated.
Pence was also tested for the corona virus. The result was negative, as announced by its spokesperson. Tests carried out by the Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, and the Minister of Health, Alex Azar, were also negative.
Biden tested negative: wishes for recovery and criticism
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife Jill tested negative. A staff member said that Biden will continue the ongoing campaign with a visit to Michigan.
Biden wished Trump and his wife a “speedy recovery.” “We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the President and his family,” he wrote on Twitter. The last time he met with Trump, who is fighting for his re-election, it was in person on Tuesday: in the first television duel before the presidential elections in November, they were both on the same stage for about 90 minutes, without a mask, but with a Wide margin.
The sharpest words came from Biden’s party colleague Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Looking ahead to Trump, she said the encounter with unmasked crowds was a “blatant invitation” to the virus. You have been tested yourself, but have not received any results yet. However, Biden’s vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, is certain. Your corona test was negative.
The news of the contagion of the American president caused sensation and sympathy around the world. Chancellor Angela Merkel also sent good wishes.
Formerly an infected close advisor
Trump and the First Lady underwent the corona test after Trump’s close adviser Hope Hicks tested positive for the virus. There had already been a number of infections in Trump’s environment before that. However, Hicks is the closest person to the president who is known to be infected. According to matching media reports, she flew to Cleveland on Tuesday with Trump on the Air Force One presidential plane for the televised debate.
In the television duel with Biden, Trump had mocked the fact that he was often seen wearing a mask. “I don’t wear a mask like him, every time you see him, he has a mask. He could talk 200 feet from me and he shows up with the largest mask I’ve ever seen,” Trump said of Biden. It is now unclear whether the next television match will take place on October 15 as scheduled.
More than 200,000 deaths from corona in the US
Trump is 74 years old and therefore has a higher risk of complications. Most of the time, however, he does not wear a mask in public. Trump’s spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany described the wearing of masks in June as a “personal choice” and noted that she was tested regularly.
In the corona pandemic, Trump is repeatedly accused of not taking seriously the danger posed by the virus. More recently, he had made numerous major campaign appearances again. They took place in the open air. Thousands of supporters who are not required to wear masks and who are mostly close together were able to participate.
The corona pandemic is not yet under control in the US More than 7.2 million infections have been detected since the pandemic began. More than 207,000 people died.
