POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA (VG) Around the same time Donald Trump was taken to the hospital, VG met with voters in Florida. They wish him well, but many hope he will now take the coronavirus more seriously.
– I first found out a couple of hours ago, and I must say that I am quite surprised considering that you have described the virus as a hoax. “I didn’t know you could get infected with something that is a hoax,” says 25-year-old Danielle wryly.
VG meets her outside a mall in Pompano Beach, on Florida’s east coast. You’ve noticed that Donald Trump has bullied Joe Biden multiple times, most recently during the presidential debate in Cleveland earlier this week, for wearing a face mask. At the same time, with few exceptions, the president himself has refrained from wearing a mask, although his own health authorities say it could potentially save up to 100,000 lives in the coming months.
Put this on? Trump’s toughest test
During the debate, his entire family also sat as spectators in the room without masks. This despite the fact that there was a use order. So now one of them, his wife Melania, is infected with the virus with him. Although Trump was rushed to the hospital Norway time last night, according to the White House, the symptoms should be mild.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, is not infected.
– You probably have the right to your own opinion, I suppose, says Danielle, who does not want her last name to appear in the newspaper, and adds:
– But to put it mildly, it’s kind of funny.

– Absolutely not
Although she has not decided who she will vote for on November 3, she is not happy with the president’s efforts in the fight against the coronavirus.
– I don’t know if it’s her best moment, she says.
Britney Carlisle (32) also doesn’t think Trump has done a good enough job dealing with the pandemic.
– Not at all. Absolutely not. But at least there is something that she now realizes needs to be taken seriously and cannot be taken lightly, she says.
Commentary: Can change everything
Her fiancé Andre Garrett (33) nods his head. Both are also clear that they expect both Donald and Melania Trump to recover quickly.
– I don’t want anyone to get hurt, says Carlisle.
– Your being critical of him, does that mean you should vote for Biden?
– I do not know. It is a very difficult choice. I’m really not that excited about any of them. But I will vote, says Garrett.

He even lost a family member
Brian, 54, who does not want to share his last name or reveal who he will vote for, although he has decided, believes that the situation now must be difficult for the president and his family.
– I hope you get over it pretty quickly. He has the best doctors around him, so he will probably do well, he says, saying that he himself has relatives who have contracted the virus.
– We have also lost a relative due to the disease. It is a terrible disease, she concludes.
Brian believes that, unlike the other VGs gathered in Florida on Friday night, where the president was supposed to hold an election meeting the same night, Trump has done a good crown job.
– I think you have taken all the necessary measures to lower the basket as quickly as possible. Among other things, closing the borders. The things he did in the beginning made a difference.
Rayner Herrera (30) disagrees.
– I have mixed feelings about how you have handled the virus. I could have acted better and faster. He has taken it too lightly. Perhaps this could be a wake-up call for him.
