Barron, son of Melania and Donald Trump, also tested positive for covid-19
The first lady explains on her Twitter account that her adolescent son showed no symptoms and that her subsequent tests are already negative
Melania and Donald Trump's son tested positive for coronavirus after his parents contracted the disease, although he did not develop symptoms, as reported by the first lady through her Twitter account. Melania Trump also assures that Barron's tests are already negative.
In a statement titled My personal experience with covid-19, Melania Trump relates that it was two weeks ago when she received “a diagnosis that many other Americans in our country and other people in the world had already received -positive for coronavirus- ”. The first lady goes on to say that her bad news was also compounded by that received by her husband, "our commander-in-chief of the nation."
In a long letter, Trump's wife, 50 years old, explains how after learning her diagnosis, her mind immediately went to her son, Barron, 14 years old. "It was such a relief when his test result came back negative, but like many other parents have thought over the past few months, I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen tomorrow or the day after." Melania Trump assures that her fears came true when in a new test the result was positive. "Fortunately he is a strong teenager and did not show any symptoms," she says. “In a way I was grateful that the three of us were going through the same thing at the same time so that we could take care of each other and spend time together,” she says Melania. "Since then he has given a negative result."
The 74-year-old president of the United States communicated in the early morning of October 2 that both he and the first lady had tested positive for coronavirus and were proceeding to quarantine themselves. "We will get out of this TOGETHER," the president wrote on the social network.
The news of the disease was the penultimate can of gasoline in an electoral campaign loaded with dynamite just over a month before the elections that will decide who will occupy the White House. The next day, Trump was admitted to Walter Reed Military Hospital after having two major drops in oxygen. But the president did not stay hospitalized for long and on Monday, October 5, he left the medical center and from the White House assured that the disease had been "a blessing from God."
“I encourage everyone to continue living the healthiest life you can. A balanced diet, fresh air, and vitamins are really vital to keeping our bodies healthy. For your total well-being, compassion and humility are very important to keep your mind strong, ”continues Melania Trump. "For me, the most impactful part of my recovery was the opportunity to reflect on many things - family, friends, my work - and stay true to myself," she concludes.
