Trump’s physician declines to provide key information on his health. His health team has continued to refuse to provide relevant medical information throughout the week. Trump required medical staff to sign non disclosure agreements, this appears to not be a normal situation for medical staff of a sitting president. A growing question has been when was the last time Trump tested negative. The White House refuses to say, adding to growing concern that Trump was not being tested at all and was depending on others around him being tested instead. He admitted in July that he was not being tested regularly. The White House informed a veterans group that they may have been exposed to covid during a September 27th meeting.
Offices being set up for Trump near medical unit at the White House earlier in the week. He insisted on returning to the oval office a day later. Remaining staff have been required to wear hospital level PPE to interact with the president. By Thursday he was declaring himself recovered, no longer infectious, in perfect health and that he had discovered a cure for covid in the Regeneron antibodies he received. Hours later Regeneron requested emergency use authorization to sell their antibody treatment even as clinical trials that would prove if the drug works or not are far from completed. Trump suggested he wanted to return to political rallies and public appearances even as he is still contagious. Trump’s advisers have continued to pursue a debunked herd immunity strategy, citing a group run by a libertarian free market think tank who is touting the idea.
