Donald Trump declared, "I get it," in a message to the nation before briefly leaving the hospital. "It's been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about Covid," Trump said, standing in his hospital room in a video posted on social media. "I learned it by really going to school."
It is to be noted that President Trump decided to leave the hsopital hours after his medical team confirmed that his blood oxygen level dropped suddenly twice in recent days. But it is learnt that President Trump could be discharged on Monday and continue his treatment from White House.
Menahwile, several people have slammed President Trump's decision to get out of the hospital despite testing coronavirus positive.
“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity,” Dr James P. Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed, tweeted.
"That Presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but hermetically sealed against chemical attack. The risk of Covid-19 transmission inside is as high as it gets outside of medical procedures. The irresponsibility is astounding. My thoughts are with the Secret Service forced to play," he added.
