President Donald Trump gave the impression of confusing the flu with the coronavirus on Tuesday as he recovered from his war with the fatal virus in the White House.
He suggested Americans vacute against the flu this year because of what he called his maximum mortality rate (the COVID mortality rate is much higher) and told others to report to “live with. “
He asked if the country deserves to be closed to the flu. The president was one of the first to urge the country to reopen after the pandemic closed, prompting business closures, falling markets and a collapse of the economy.
“The flu season is coming! Many other people each year, more than 100,000 more people, and despite the vaccine, die of the flu. Are we going to close our country? No, we have been informed to live, just as we are informed to live with Covid, in much less fatal maximum populations !!!”‘, he wrote on Twitter.
More than 210,000 Americans have been killed by COVID this year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there have been between 12,000 and 61,000 deaths per year of influenza since 2010.
Trump made an impressive return to the White House on Monday night after 4 days at Walter Reed Medical Center to fight COVID, leaving Marine One to climb the steps of the South Portico where he got rid of his mask.
But the president’s breath seemed painful after climbing a few dozen stairs, when he stood at the most sensible point to greet the cameras, gave the impression of grimace as he struggled to breathe, and a doctor said he was “clearly distressed by his breathing. . “
Dr. Sean Conley, Trump’s non-public physician, said Monday that the president is not yet “out of danger” that he would receive the care he needed at the White House.
But conflicting data on the president’s physical condition and his departure from the hospital have led to many questions, including: the severity of his infection, the precise remedy he follows, and how the various hundred citizens and White House staff will be protected from infection by him. .
Trump is taking a drug cocktail as a component of his remedy plan, adding steroid dexamethasone, which is sometimes not used unless someone wants a fan or an oxygen supplement.
You are also expected to get your last dose of remdesivir, a five-day antiviral remedy expected to help with recovery, Tuesday at the White House.
And he won an 8-gram dose of experimental antibodies from Regeneron on Friday at the hospital.
Neither the drug Regeneron nor the remdesivir have been approved by the FDA to treat COVID, they are legal by “compassionate” request.
The president is in the high-risk category because of his age, 74, because he’s male and overweight.
But the maximum dose of drugs has raised doubts about the seriousness of Trump’s COVID case, though the competitive remedy is possibly due to the fact that he is the president.
President Donald Trump gave the impression of confusing influenza with COVID after his dramatic return to the White House on Monday night.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden led a chorus of conviction last night after Trump told Americans not to “fear” COVID, which killed 200,000 people, and got rid of his mask for a photo shoot.
Trump said he felt “fine,” told others not to allow the virus to “dominate their lives” and said he would even be immune to COVID-19 in a video filmed at the White House after his return to Walter Reed’s theater.
The president’s dismissing message: ”Don’t be afraid of COVID, don’t let it rule your life’, infuriated critics who said it put Americans at risk.
Biden, 77, said Monday night that the president was “responsible” for his COVID-19 infection and criticized the president’s “machist” attitude of avoiding dressing in a mask.
“Anyone who gets the virus for saying the mask doesn’t matter, social distance doesn’t matter, I think he’s guilty of what he can think of,” Biden said after Trump posed without covering his face.
“What’s male, ” I’m going to put on a mask?”What’s going on here? I’m being a patriot for God’s sake!Take care of yourself, but take care of your neighbors,” the Democratic nominee said.

Biden also said he was “not surprised” when Trump tested positive for the virus, amid an outbreak in the White House that infided more than a dozen of the president’s associates, and added senior adviser Hope Hicks and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
“For the last 3 months, 3 times a week, I’ve been talking on the phone and in Zoom with some of the country’s leading immunologists, and they’re reviewing everything that’s going on,” Biden said at Miami City Hall. .
I just left Walter Reed Medical Center and it’s something very special, doctors, nurses, lifeguards, and I learned a lot about coronavirus.
And one thing’s for sure: don’t let him dominate you, don’t be afraid of him. You’re going to beat him. We have the most productive medical equipment, we have the most productive medicines, all recently evolved, and you will beat it.
I went there, I didn’t feel so good, and two days ago, I may have only been gone two days ago, two days ago I felt good, bigger than I have been in a long time. I did it 20 years ago.
“Don’t let him dominate, don’t let him take over your lives. Don’t let that happen. We have the largest country in the world. We go back, we go back to work, we’re going to be in the lead.

“As a leader, I had to. I knew there was a danger, but I had to. I stood in front, I led. No one who’s a leader would do what I did.
“I know there’s a risk, there’s a danger, but it’s okay. And now I’m bigger and immune, I don’t know.
“But don’t let him dominate your life. Go ahead, be careful, we have the most productive drugs in the world and everything happened very quickly, and they are all approved, and the vaccines arrive in a moment. “
“Thank you very much, and Walter Reed, what people. Thank you very much. “
