After the brutal outbreak of covid-19 in the White House, which infected Donald Trump, fears persist about his real state of health, despite the fact that the president assured that he is well. As the November 3 elections approach, there are fears that he will return to his big rallies still infected. “Fox News has been informed that Donald Trump is unlikely to have events this weekend, but plans to return to the campaign this Monday,” tweeted one of his correspondents on Friday. The day before, the president had launched into a strange take on Twitter, saying he was a perfect and very young specimen, moments after releasing a video in which he said it was a “blessing from God” to catch COVID-19.
“The president is, let’s say, in an altered state, so I don’t know how to respond about his behavior,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Bloomberg on Thursday. “He bragged about the medication he was taking and there are articles from medical professionals who say this could affect his judgment.”
A day later, Pelosi announced a commission to find out whether or not Trump could not serve, invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. This allows Congress to assess the health of the president, and can remove him and automatically appoint his vice president as head of state. However, this required the support of the majority of the members of the Executive, something that at the moment seems highly unlikely, perhaps impossible.
Trump responded by attacking Nancy Pelosi’s sanity. Crazy Nancy should be under observation. They don’t call her crazy Nancy for no reason! »He wrote on Twitter.
‘Extraordinary’
“Saturday will be the 10th day since Thursday’s diagnosis and, considering the trajectory of progressive diagnoses the team has been making, I fully anticipate the president’s safe return to public life at that time,” announced Sean Conley, the Donald Trump’s doctor. It’s a very, very bold estimate. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, people with COVID-19 can remain contagious for 10 to 20 days, depending on the severity of the case.
Chaos and infestations
For many doctors, given how exposed the president is to other people during the campaign, it would be better to err on the side of attention than lack of attention. “He’s talking about getting in front of thousands of people to give a speech without a mask,” Bob Lahita, a professor of medicine at Rutgers University, told CNBC. “It is an extraordinary and very unusual behavior.”
Amid this chaos, the number of confirmed cases in the White House has increased. There are at least 34 employees, advisers and political leaders infected, more than a dozen that the Administration admits, according to documents from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), seen this Wednesday by ABC. The agency operates in disaster areas and has already been called upon to intervene.
With Trump’s return to the White House, after just three nights at Walter Reed Military Hospital, the heart of the US administration had to adjust. Now a mask, visor and gloves are mandatory, which accumulate in piles on the tables, the building is constantly disinfected with industrial machinery and a good part of the employees began to work in shifts or remained in teleworking. It looks like a “ghost town”, as the politician wrote.
The covid-19 outbreak was not enough, now the White House is also suffering from a raccoon infestation, according to NBC. In fact, moments before a right wing, the CNN correspondent at the White House even had to scare away a raccoon by throwing a folder at it.
