Melania then writes that she had time to think. In a message that she tries to fill the criticisms that have rained down on her. "Recovering from an illness gives you a lot of time to reflect. When my husband was taken to the Walter Reed as a precaution, I spent much of my time reflecting on my family. I also thought about the hundreds of thousands of people around the world. our country who have been affected by this disease, which infects people without distinction ".
"I encourage everyone to continue living the healthiest life possible. A balanced diet, fresh air and vitamins are really essential to keeping our bodies healthy. For me personally, the most important part of my recovery was the opportunity to reflect on many things: family, friendships, my job and staying true to who I am ".
Finally, she confirms the last negative test. "I am happy to report that I tested negative and I hope to resume my functions as soon as possible. Along with this good news, I want people to know that I understand how lucky my family is to have had the kind of care they received. I will think of you every day. I pray for our country and I pray for all those who are fighting against Covid or any other disease ".
