The American corona expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci (79) “is not absolutely surprised” that the President of the United States, Donald Trump (74), has contracted Covid-19. In an interview with CBS, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert said: “I was concerned he might get sick when I saw him in a completely risky situation in the crowd, with no distance between people and hardly anyone wearing a mask. »
Fauci appeared to be referring to the event in the White House’s Rose Garden on Sept. 26 when Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett, 48, as a candidate for the Supreme Court. At least twelve people tested positive after the event. Also Donald Trump and his wife Melania (50).
Fauci continues: “When I saw that on TV, I was like, ‘Oh my God. That will not work well, we will have a problem. “” So it turned out to be a superpreader event, although it took place outdoors.
Fauci recommends masks
Despite Corona’s warnings, the more than one hundred guests shook hands and even hugged when they were greeted. There were hardly any masks to be seen. Perhaps people felt safe because they had been screened before the event.
Following his positive test result, Trump was taken to Walter Reed Military Hospital, where he was administered oxygen. After three days in the hospital, he posed on the balcony on his return to the White House, without a mask, but with visibly heavy breathing. Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it rule your life, ”he said into the microphone.
Fauci highly recommends the use of masks because they “really work.” In the interview he said: “It doesn’t make sense to me why Trump equates wearing a mask with weakness.” (gf)
