Flu season begins: “Every year, many people die of the flu, sometimes more than 100,000, and despite vaccination. Is that why we closed our land? No, we have learned to live with it, just as we learn to live with Covid, which is less deadly in most populations, ”Trump wrote on Twitter Tuesday.
Trump’s corona infection became known on Friday. On Monday, he asked Americans not to be afraid of the virus. In the United States, more than 210,000 people have died from the infection since the pandemic began, more in absolute terms than in any other country in the world.
Trump continues to downplay the danger from Corona
Especially early in the pandemic, Trump had repeatedly compared Covid-19 illnesses to the flu. He also publicly stated that the death rate was lower than that of the flu. He repeatedly promised that one day the virus would just disappear again.
In September, recordings of conversations between Trump and investigative journalist Bob Woodward were released in which he was already aware of the serious risks of the virus at the beginning of the pandemic and yet made disparaging remarks. Trump said in a conversation in February that Covid-19 was “deadlier” than the severe flu that kills 25,000 to 30,000 Americans each year.
The president of the United States receives a cocktail of drugs
Due to his corona infection, Trump has been administered several medications, including an antibody drug that is still experimental. According to renowned immunologist Anthony Fauci, this could have contributed significantly to a rapid improvement in Trump’s health. According to his personal physician Sean Conley, Trump’s illness is not over yet despite his return to the White House. (SDA)
