US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, October 7, declared his COVID-19 illness a"blessing from God," as he got back to work in the Oval Office despite warnings that his return could put others at risk.
But Democrat Joe Biden, who leads Trump in the latest polls ahead of the November 3 vote, attacked the president's downplaying of the risk. On Wednesday the Pentagon confirmed that one of the Marine Corps' top officers, General Gary Thomas, tested positive for the virus. Just after stepping off a helicopter upon his return to the White House, Trump climbed the stairs of his residence and pulled off his face mask – a tool against the virus that he has frequently minimized.
Florian Krammer, professor at Icahn School of Medicine in New York, told AFP those results don't mean much at this stage. As Trump seeks to revive his reelection campaign in the face of weak polling data just 4 weeks away from the November 3 election, he labeled Biden"a wacko."
