Footage taken Monday night after the Marine One helicopter landed at the White House shows Trump stepping out of the helicopter and climbing several steps toward the White House, then turning toward the lenses and removing the veil. It was in those few seconds that his expression and suppressed grimaces show that he was not feeling well and seemed to be gasping for breath.

No wonder. Seventy-four-year-old Trump is in a high-risk group due to his age and medical history. Although he is given the experimental drug remdesivir, among other things, doctors agree that he cannot have won over coronavirus after three days of hospitalization. This was admitted by one of his attending physicians. In addition, they warn that it may still be infectious.

However, the US president told citizens in a later release that he had returned so quickly because he needed to keep working and not be too worried about coronavirus. “We are going back to work. We will be in the lead. As your leader, I had to do it. I knew I was taking a risk, but I had to do it, “he said.

I got remdesivir and a corticosteroid
The effort to return to the normal program as quickly as possible is understandable given the ongoing campaign before the November presidential election, but the fog is more strange about how serious Trump’s health really is and, above all, was.
–
The media reported problems with key organs and at least two cases of decreased oxygen saturation (respiratory failure). Nevertheless, Trump hurried to return, which he decided to do himself, even though the medical team had dedicated him to him.

Melanie Trump announced the proven coronavirus infection on himself and his wife on Twitter on Thursday. At the weekend, doctors ordered hospitalization due to the deterioration of his health and due to his advanced age.
–
At the hospital, doctors used the experimental drug remdesivir on the White House chief. During the weekend, they stated that Trump’s condition had improved and seemed stable.
–
According to CNN sources, Trump demanded that he be released from the hospital on Sunday, as this could give the impression that he was weak. On Sunday, doctors found that his blood oxygen saturation had dropped twice on Mondays and he received, in addition to remdesivir, the corticosteroid dexamethasone, which is only given to the seriously ill.

Facebook deleted a false post to Trump
In his remarks, Trump repeatedly urges Americans not to be paralyzed and intimidated by the threat of infection. But critics say his comments and remarks are often over the edge because they downplay the epidemic.
–
Facebook even deleted one of Trump’s posts on Tuesday, saying it contained false information. Trump’s statement presented coronavirus disease as a lesser threat than the common flu.
–
“We learned to live with her, just as we learn to live with a covid,” said the American president, who himself contracted the disease. He added that covid-19 is “much less deadly in most populations” than the flu, although evidence to date suggests otherwise. In the United States alone, the epidemic is already linked to around 210,000 deaths, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that influenza has caused between 12,000 and 61,000 deaths a year in the country since 2010.

Trump posted the same post on Twitter. The social network did not remove it, but added a warning that it violated the platform’s rules on the dissemination of “misleading and potentially dangerous covid-19-related information.” “However, Twitter has concluded that it may be in the public interest to keep tweets available,” the company explains.
