Donald trump “He is very good, we are very happy with the progress he has made,” said the White House doctor. Sean Conley, although the American president is still admitted as a precaution in a military hospital a few hours after the news of his positivity before the coronavirus: was transported “as a precaution”, since the White House, to Walter Reed Medical Center, known as the hospital of presidents. Trump “will continue working from there,” the spokeswoman stressed. Kaleygh McEnany. Information that is linked to another clarification that the White House wanted to make: there will be no transfer of powers to the vice president Mike pence. The president is in experimental therapy from synthetic antibodies considered encouraging, “he said Conley. After a few hours, Trump himself gives an update on his health conditions: “It is going well, I think. Thank you all, with love !!! ”She wrote on Twitter. Even the first lady Melania tested positive: he has a “mild cough and headache.” The first effect on the presidential election campaign, scheduled in exactly one month, is that your Democratic challenger, Joe biden, is temporarily removing the negative points about the president.

After the various rumors about the president’s health conditions circulated, a team of doctors from the hospital that treats him, at a press conference, specified that Donald Trump does not need oxygen, he breathes and walks regularly, his organs are fine and he is in a very good mood. Furthermore, even the temperature seems to have disappeared and only lasted 24 hours.

It was Trump himself late Thursday who always reported remotely Twitter the world of his infection, a couple of hours after announcing that he underwent the test together with Melania and be in quarantine pending the results of the swab. A determined control after the contagion probably contracted by hope Hicks, the most faithful advisor who follows the president like a shadow, in the last days everywhere, even on board theAir Force One. In addition to her, he also tested positive in the last hours. Bill stepien, the new presidential campaign manager. They write it Political and the Bbc, according to which Stepien suffers from “mild flu-like symptoms” and will now work from home.

This is news that shakes the United States and immediately shakes the markets, opening an unknown factor in the final part of the electoral campaign, now at serious risk. The 74-year-old president “can continue to serve without interruption,” his personal physician immediately said. “He is at work and will continue to work,” said the White House chief of staff. Mark Meadows. Your symptoms are light – the message leaked from the beginning by the president’s entourage – and they give hope of a speedy recovery. But in the meantime, Vice President Pence, in turn, immediately tested positive and negative, it was put on early warning, just in case the situation suddenly worsens. For now, his first and only television duel with the vice president candidate has been confirmed Kamala harris, next Wednesday in Utah.

Inevitably, all election appointments for the next few hours were skipped for the time being, when the president was expected to attend an event in Trump Hotel of Washington and then in the key state of Florida. In fact, a suspension of the campaign for reelection of which at this point it is not known when and if it will ever be able to resume normally, from the participation in the next presidential debates from October 15 to Miami and from 22 to Nashville. With the leader of the Republican Senators, Mitch McConnell, who advanced the hypothesis of remote comparisons.

Meanwhile the White House that between Thursday and Friday was one night of anguish and fear, for fear of discovering a real one outbreak inside. As the hours passed, the concern diminished, with negative tests for almost everyone who in recent days has been close to Hope hicks and the presidential couple: not just the vice president Pennies and his wife, but also Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared kushner, and the ministers of justice William Barr and the treasure Steve Mnuchin. Also negative is Barron, Donald and Melania’s 14-year-old son who lives with them in east wing of the presidential residence. Positive only one reporter and one staff member belonging to the lower part of the middle area.

Different is the case of those who participated in the ceremony in the rose garden, during which the president formalized the election of the judge Amy coney barrett to the Supreme Court. In total there are six present who later tested positive for coronavirus: in addition to Trump and his wife, this is the Republican senator from Utah Mike lee, from his colleague from North Carolina Thom tillis and the president of the University of Notre Dame, the Reverend John Jenkins. In recent hours, the former White House adviser has also joined Kellyanne conway. “My symptoms are mild (a cold),” he writes on Twitter, “I started there quarantine“. Positive too three journalists accredited to the White House and present at the event.

A third senator is positive Ron Johnson of the Wisconsin. His spokesman said he has no symptoms for now, but the news alarms the party as the confirmation of Justice Barrett’s on the Supreme Court in the Senate chamber, where Republicans have a small minority, begins to appear at risk.

But it was also proven Joe biden, who on Tuesday night shared the stage with the president in the first television duel in Ohio: the Democratic candidate, 77, is the result negativeas well as his wife Jill and your running mate Kamala Harris. Biden, who after Tuesday night’s insults sent his wishes for a speedy recovery to Trump, can safely continue his election campaign, which sees him involved in key states and on the scales as Michigan. “You don’t have to be hard on the virus, but wear the mask and follow all the other recommendations of the health authorities ”, said opening a meeting a Grand rapids. Trump’s positivity, he added, is an “invigorating warning to all of us that we must take the virus seriously.”

Now we are trying to reconstruct how things were. According to some media reports, citing sources close to Trump’s election campaign, the White House was aware of the positivity of Hicks as early as Wednesday night, so much so that that day, upon her return from a meeting in Minnesota, the councilwoman would have traveled in a separate cabin from theAir Force One, then exit the back of the plane once you reach the base of Andrews. Despite this, Trump did not immediately go into quarantine, instead flying to New Jersey the next day to attend a fundraising event. It was there that he would have experienced the first symptoms, with a cold and some coughs. The decision to undergo the test, therefore, only after returning to the White House late at night. Of course, this was not all October surprise in which the American president hoped to change his campaign during the final race to the November 3. The next few days will tell if The Donald will be able to emerge once more from a nightmare situation.
