Did you bring it with you? The week everything went wrong
When Trump may be discharged, the White House reports that the president has returned to the hospital after the short trip, which was decided at the last minute, has not been announced, writes CNN.
“The president made a short trip to greet his supporters outside and has now returned to the presidential suite inside Walter Reed,” spokesman Judd Deere told the channel.
Doctor in the hospital: – This is crazy
Trump’s trip has been criticized by the medical community with several pointing out that the president may have put the people who protect him in danger. In the car with Trump were two Secret Service employees.
A doctor who works at the hospital where Trump has been hospitalized in recent days, Dr. James P. Phillips, write on Twitter that there is a very high risk of infection inside the car that Trump installed in. He writes that the car is not only bulletproof, it is hermetically sealed to prevent chemical attack.
– The risk of covid-19 infection is as high as it can be, except during medical procedures. The irresponsibility is amazing. My thoughts go out to Secret Service employees who are forced to participate, Phillips writes.
The doctor is the usual chief of emergency medicine at George Washington University Emergency Medicine.
He also writes that everyone who was in the car during the “totally unnecessary” trip must be quarantined for 14 days.
– They can get sick. They may die. Commanding Trump to endanger his life in a theater. This is crazy, he writes.
A Secret Service spokesperson does not want to comment on how the president’s push may have affected the health and safety of his employees, ABC writes.
The director of the Department of Global Health at Yale University, Saad B. Omer, wrote on Twitter that wearing a mask itself is no guarantee of preventing infection.
– This is an individual with an active infection near two other people, in a vehicle with the windows closed, while performing a task that is optional. A bandage helps, but it is not an impenetrable barrier, he writes.
Omer notes that the most important purpose of infection detection is not only to gather information, but also to isolate and quarantine close contacts at an early stage to prevent further infection.
