Washington: US President Donald Trump is back at the White House, even though he is still positive for Covid-19. Trump, who tested positive on October 2, was undergoing treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Returning to the White House on Monday evening, Trump shared a message through a tweet, asking everyone to not be afraid of the virus. In a country where more than 210,000 people lost their lives to the virus, Trump's message has scared the experts. The First Lady along with several White House aides have tested positive for coronavirus. Trump is back at the White House with a team of doctors on call with 24-hour monitoring.
Trump also posted a video of his arrival, where he was seen without the mask. His unconcerned attitude towards Covid-19 has led to many medical science professionals comment on the same.
Dr. David Nace, an expert on infections in older adults from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said that there is a need for the people to be realistic with COVID. It is a threat to the entire American population. Not all the people in the States are lucky to undergo in-house treatment like the President, Nace further added.
According to Dr. Sadiya Khan of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Trump's message is an unconscionable one.
Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, also was also tested for COVID 19 and he had shared the news of being negative on October 2 on twitter. He said that one needs to be concerned about virus as no one should think that it is not a problem.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that the ones with mild to moderate COVID 19 symptoms can be contagious for many, and they should isolate for 10 days at least.
