Coronavirus. Donald and Melania Trump's son has also tested positive
Barron, the 14-year-old son of Donald and Melania Trump, has also tested positive for Covid-19. Communication from the White House and the President's physician, Dr Sean Conley, has been particularly opaque and confused since the start of October.
Barron Trump, son of Donald and Melania Trump, has also tested positive for Covid-19, the United States First Lady said on Wednesday, adding that he has since been negative again.
"Barron is fine", simply indicated shortly after Donald Trump, asked about his youngest son (14) when he left for Iowa where he is due to participate in his third campaign meeting in three days, 20 days from the election.
In a text entitled "My experience with Covid-19", Melania Trump, who, like her husband, had tested positive two weeks ago, also announces that it is also now negative.
" A healthy life "
Communication from the White House and the President’s physician, Dr Sean Conley, has been particularly opaque and confused since the start of October, fueling questions.
"I encourage everyone to continue living as healthy a life as possible," writes the "First Lady" in her post on Twitter.
"A balanced diet, fresh air and vitamins are really essential for keeping our bodies healthy," she adds, also emphasizing the importance of "compassion" and "humility".
Next big meeting this Thursday
For Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the next big campaign date will be Thursday, but it's not what we expected. Their debate having been canceled, they will respond live on television to voters but each on a different channel.
NBC News reported that the Republican president would face voters for an hour in Florida on Thursday night (8:00 p.m., midnight GMT), as his Democratic opponent underwent the same type of exercise in his home state of Pennsylvania on a competing channel, ABC News.
These two key states were won by Mr. Trump in 2016 and are expected to play a central role in the outcome of the November 3 poll.
Hearing war
American political tradition, the "town hall" is a live television program in which a panel of voters, under the supervision of a moderator, questions a candidate.
The audiences for these two meetings will be particularly eagerly awaited before being compared as the overwhelming majority of polls give Joe Biden the winner.
For health reasons, for fear that Mr. Trump is still contagious (he has since been declared negative for Covid-19, after a rapid test), the independent commission in charge of organizing the debates had initially decided that it would be virtual.
A format categorically refused by the tempestuous leader, who had stood out by constantly interrupting, and aggressively, the former vice-president of Barack Obama during the first debate at the end of September.
" Wire rack "
The third debate is still scheduled for October 22 in Nashville, Tennessee.
On Thursday, Donald Trump and moderator Savannah Guthrie will respect social distancing and attendees who came to ask questions of the White House tenant will wear masks, NBC said.
Dr Anthony Fauci, one of the US government's leading experts on the coronavirus, said the president was "no longer transmitting infectious viruses," the channel added.
Visibly full of energy and keen to show that he has beaten the virus, the 74-year-old Republican once again insulted his opponent on Tuesday evening, calling him mentally “burned out”, before tweeting a photomontage of the 77-year-old Democrat in wheelchair, in a hospice.
Biden, who strictly follows the instructions of the health authorities, unlike his opponent, stayed at home for a long time during the pandemic, before stepping up his campaign pace and resuming travel.
According to the latest Quinnipiac University poll, the veteran politician leads the polls in Georgia with seven points ahead of Donald Trump, and the two are neck and neck in Ohio. Two states won by the Republican billionaire in 2016,
