“The behavior of the first circle of relatives jeopardized not only their own health, but also that of the staff. “Megan Ranney, emergency physician

October 6, 2020 (Washington, D. C. ) – President Donald Trump returned to the White House last night, contagious with COVID-19 after leaving Walter Reed Medical Center.
Upon entering the White House, he defiantly shed his mask, polluting the air with the coronavirus, potentially exposing White House personnel. He then posed for a crusade video, exposing a film crew to the virus. Contrary to the recommendation of public fitness officials, Trump pleaded with Americans not to fear the virus, saying, “We’re back to work. ” He suggested that Americans have no fear of COVID-19, likely deaf to the suffering of the families of more than 200,000 Americans who have died and many more weakened by the disease.
Then, on a tweet this morning, he falsely compared it to the flu, a message so irresponsible that some social media sites erased it to put lives at risk. Trump had admitted in the past in a February interview with journalist Bob Woodward that he knew the coronavirus was much more fatal than the flu, but minimized its severity to avoid causing panic.
Now, two White House staff members tested positive for COVID and were reportedly asked to “exercise discretion” in reporting their illness. “That’s what worried me,” Megan Ranney, an emergency physician, tweeted, after the keywives’ diagnoses were first reported. Forbes. ” The behavior of the first circle of relatives jeopardized not only their own health, but that of the staff. “
On Sunday, Trump took a ride on a sealed SUV to greet supporters outside the hospital, exposing his Secret Service agents in the vehicle at COVID-19. There is no social esttachment, no visual barriers between the president and the officers, who had no full protective clothing.
In COVID-19 hospital wards, everyone who comes into contact with COVID-19 patients wears 100 percent “moon suits” with 100 percent glasses, gloves, masks, and covered bodies. mask and medical gown, with his neck fully exposed, sitting directly in front of the still contagious chair.
Trump’s crusade said agents “volunteered” for duty, but medical experts have been very critical.
But Dr. James P. Phillips, a GP at Walter Reed Medical Center, wrote in a pair of scathing tweets: “This presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but is hermetically sealed against chemical attacks. The threat of indoor COVID19 transmission is as high as outdoor medical procedures. The irresponsibility is amazing. My mind is with the Secret Service, which is forced to play. Every user in the vehicle this absolutely dead presidential step will have to be quarantined for 14 days. They can just get sick. They can die. For political theater. He ordered through Trump to put their lives in danger for the theater. This is crazy.
Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency doctor and visiting professor at George Washington University, wrote: “If @realDonaldTrump were my patient, in an volatile contagious disease, and he left the hospital to make a automobile ride that puts itself in danger and so on: I would call safety to restrain him and then automobilery out a psychiatric assessment to read about his decision-making ability.
The president said it felt bigger than it had felt in years, but that was after receiving experimental medical remedies, some of which are not available to the maximum number of Americans hospitalized by COVID-19. His remedy included steroid dexamethasone, which temporarily reduces inflammation. It can also create a feeling of euphoria or even psychotic pauses. It is usually only given in severe cases of COVID-19, not in mild or moderate cases.
Trump’s team of doctors dodged questions about the effects of chest x-rays or other diagnostic tests, which brought patient privacy with them. The president suffered from respiratory disorders just before his hospitalization, when he gained oxygen twice. His doctor indicated that the president’s oxygen point had at one point fallen below 94 but had fallen in the 1980s, leaving a wide variety of possibilities.
Trump reportedly tested positive Thursday morning after discussing with Vice President Joe Biden, who has tested negative so far. The president and his inner circle knew he had been exposed to the virus after Hope Hicks’ assistant tested positive a day earlier, but Trump’s circle of relatives showed up for the unmasked debate in direct violation of the debate’s regulations, a fact that provoked a rebuke of anger to moderator Chris Wallace. Even when masks were presented to them, Trump’s circle of relatives refused to wear them.
The Presidential Debate Commission has indicated that uns masked ones will not be admitted to the upcoming mid-October debate, which Trump has said he intends to attend.
Tomorrow’s vice-presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence will come with a plexiglass barrier between them. Vice President Pence, like many others, exposed to COVID-19 in a recent rite at the Rose Garden at the White House for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, however, so far, Pence has tested negative for the virus.
The reception of the rose garden, which also had an interior component, did not contain social estating or masking. In fact, visitors were encouraged not to wear a mask so as not to spoil photo opportunities. Since then, President Trump and first girl Melania Trump tested positive, along with at least a dozen senior officials present, adding 3 Republican senators, press secretary Kayleigh. McEnany and PUBLIC Assistant Kellyanne Conway, whose daughter is now also ill. Several White House staff members are also sick. Attorney General William Barr said he was quarantined after close contact with Conway at the Rose Garden event.
Today, the Pentagon announced that the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the most sensible army chiefs in our country, are quarantined at home after Coast Guard Admiral Charles Ray tested positive for COVID-19 after a meeting with other chiefs of staff.
Just hours before pronouncing his positive COVID test, the representative said at a dinner at the White House that “the end of the pandemic is in sight. “Last week, after being aware of his exposure to Hope Hicks, Trump did not reveal the exposure and went to fundraising events and other crusades in Minnesota, New Jersey and Ohio, prompting angry reactions from some exposed donors and public fitness officials.
During last week’s debate, Trump blamed COVID on China, refusing to settle for any duty to america with the largest number of instances and deaths from any country in the world, saying, “We’ve done a wonderful job. “He ridiculed Biden, for mask crusade appearances, hours before revealing his own positive diagnosis after continuing giant unmasked demonstrations.
Biden, on the other hand, said that he would adhere to the recommendations of scientists, but that he did not recommend long-term closures. However, he suggested that others wear masks and practice social esttachment to save lives. “How many of you gave up this morning and had an empty chair on the kitchen table because someone died of COVID?”He asked. ” How many of you are on a stage where you lost your mother or father and may not even communicate with them, have a nurse holding a phone so you can just say goodbye?”Biden noted that Trump himself The CDC director said wearing a mask until the end of the year can prevent another 200,000 people from dying.
A new CNN ballot shows that the American people’s confidence in Trump has weakened as a result of their recent movements since the signing of COVID-19. According to the ballot released yesterday, two-thirds said Trump had treated the threat of viral infection to more than that, 69% said they had little confidence in what they had heard from the White House about the president’s physical condition and only 12% said they trusted him.
In a new record, less than 4 weeks before Election Day with a lot of mail votes, 60 percent said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the pandemic.
