Washington DC: The First Lady of
the United States, Melania Trump has revealed that her son Barron Trump had
contacted the coronavirus. The 14-year old is the youngest son of President
Donald Trump and Melania Trump. The First Lady stated that their son had
coronavirus but showed no symptoms whatsoever. According to her, Barron fully
recovered and is now in a healthy state. An event held on September 26th
in the White House is thought to be likely a super spreader event. The event
was held by President Trump to announce his Supreme Court Justice nomination
Amy Coney Barrett. Photographs from the event showed that the event did not
follow CDC guidelines such as mandatory social distancing and wearing face masks.
After the event, President Trump and the First Lady had tested positive for the
coronavirus. President Trump had been airlifted to Walter Reed Military
Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. President Trump stayed at the hospital for a
brief period and then returned to the White House without any information
regarding his coronavirus status released to the press or the public.
The stay at the hospital and the
hasty return to the White House amidst the pandemic has turned sour for
President Trump. Opponents and the press alike ripped through President Trump,
his campaign and the tepid actions of the White House. Shortly after returning
to the White House, President Trump declared that he felt powerful and ready to
be on the campaign trail. Since his coronavirus positive test, more than 10
people in Trump’s most trusted inner circle have also been tested positive
which included Senators, public figures, and high-ranking White House
officials.
President Trump declared that he
was immune to the coronavirus and feeling healthy in a rally held in Florida. In
another rally held in the state of Iowa, Trump told his supporters that his son
recovered fully from the virus but exhibited no symptoms in the first place and
this could be the reason why the schools could reopen. He also said that the
teenagers had low risk of contacting the virus because they were usually
healthy and immune.
The First Lady said that the
coronavirus in her family had given her time to reflect on personal things such
as family, her work, and friendships. She said that her worst fears came true
when her son tested positive but they were able to take care of each other
during these testing times.
