Strict quarantine – This is what the recommendations for Covid patients provide. But US President Trump ignored him and briefly left the hospital in the car. Doctors and political opponents criticize the exit.
Despite his Covid-19 illness, US President Donald Trump briefly left the hospital in an armored vehicle. He greeted and greeted his followers from a black van before returning to the hospital. Trump has been treated at Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda near Washington since Friday.
His departure is now drawing criticism. “Every person in the vehicle must be quarantined for 14 days during this completely unnecessary trip by the president,” said Dr. James Phillips, a physician at the military hospital. “You could get sick. You could die. Due to political theater.” The irresponsibility is amazing.
Two people sat in the front seats of the vehicle. The photos showed that the passenger appeared to be wearing a plastic visor over his face, a respirator and a medical protective suit. Trump only wore a cloth mask.
Democratic Senator Brian Schatz accused Trump of endangering his own security people: “You are aware of the risk associated with the job, but the risk should not come from the person you protect.”
“Qualified as safe by the medical team”
White House spokesman Judd Deere described the caravan as “a short and short trip to greet his supporters.” Trump then quickly returned to his hospital suite. Deere said that before the trip, “reasonable precautions were taken” to protect the president and his supporters. “The trip was qualified as safe by the medical team,” he said.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, transporting a patient with suspected Sars-CoV-2 or confirmed infection outside of their room should be restricted to medically necessary purposes . Patients who test positive for the virus must be quarantined for 14 days.
Trump’s medical team announced that the president of the United States could possibly be fired today. That’s what Dr. Brian Garibaldi said. Treatment could then continue at the White House. Trump had a high fever Friday morning. The president’s oxygen levels briefly fell twice in recent days. That’s why he was given the anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone for the first time in addition to another dose of the drug Remdesivir, Garibaldi said. Meanwhile, Trump is fever-free, said Sean Dooley, another of his treating physicians.
Trump: “I really went to school”
In a short message on Twitter, Trump had previously been purified: “It was an interesting trip. I learned a lot about Covid.” He “really went to school” and now he gets it.
Meanwhile, more and more infections are known in their environment after the infection of the American president. His campaign leader, Bill Stepien, also tested positive. Trump’s illness meant that a month before the presidential election, all personal appearances had to be canceled until further notice. His challenger Joe Biden announced that he would continue his election campaign after a negative crown test. It is still unclear if the next TV showdown between Biden and Trump can go as planned.
Criticism of later understanding
Biden’s foreign policy adviser Tony Blinken has criticized Trump’s latest findings on Covid-19 as “devastating.” “Before 200,000 deaths would have been the right time, not just when it affected you,” he wrote on Twitter. “We all wish you all the best, but we also wish you did your job. Please do it now,” Blinken wrote.
Trump has held massive events in recent weeks and met with numerous donors on Thursday, despite the risk of infection. Now he presents it as if he had sacrificed himself for the office. “As a leader, you have to face problems.”
