Americans Are Demanding To Know If President Trump Has Been Tested For COVID-19 After Being Exposed Numerous Times
COVID-19 is all anyone can talk about. There is little known about the virus and it seems that President Donald Trump has been exposed, yet there is no word on whether or not he has been tested. Brazilian government officials who recently met with President Trump and other Republican officials at Mar-a-Lago have tested positive for the virus and we deserve to know if our president is sick.
Several politicians have tested positive for COVID-19 after an event at Mar-a-Lago with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Miami’s mayor is the latest politician to have tested positive for the novel coronavirus after attending an event with Brazilian officials visiting Miami. Florida Senator Rick Scott was also at the event and has self-quarantined as a precaution. Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez has allegedly tested negative after attending the same event, according to Local10.com.
Mayor Francis Suarez tweeted a video addressing the residents of Miami explaining his self-quarantine and what residents should know.
Mayor Suarez made it clear that there should not be any panic among Miami residents. Mayor Suarez said he didn’t have any symptoms but self-quarantined after people who attended an event he was at tested positive for the virus.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro claims to have tested negative for the virus after reports alleged that he had tested positive.
Brazilian President Bolsonaro has claimed that he has tested negative for COVID-19 despite his press secretary recently testing positive for the virus. O Dia, a Brazilian new outlet, first reported the Bolsonaro tested positive and Fox News confirmed in. In response, Bolsonaro called it fake news and declared that he tested negative for the virus.
Bolsonaro’s press secretary Fabio Wajngarten, who interacted with President Trump and Vice President Pence, recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Wajngarten was at an event and had close contact with President Trump and Vice President Pence, as proved in the above photo. The press secretary is on the right standing next to President Trump. The kind of proximity to someone with COVID-19 is enough to warrant a self-quarantine and testing for the virus.
The White House press secretary is denying that President Trump had close contact with the Wajngarten despite standing next to him.
“Both the President and Vice President had almost no interactions with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement. “The White House Medical Unit and the United States Secret Service has been working closely with various agencies to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the First & Second Families, and all White House staff healthy.”
President Trump is 73 years old putting him in one of the most vulnerable demographics when it comes to the virus.
People 60 years old and up are facing some of the most fatal complications from COVID-19. One of the recommendations from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control is for people 65 years old and up no to fly. The U.S. government refused to make this announcement yet later tried to claim they did.
Due to his age and reported lifestyle, it is important that the American people find out if the president has contracted COVID-19.
President Trump, who spent the beginning of the outbreak trying to dismiss it as a Democratic hoax, has finally called for a national emergency. The national emergency over the coronavirus will allow for billions of dollars to be deployed to states for testing and treatment to get the virus’s spread under control.
President Trump’s recorded contact with people who have tested positive for the virus is sparking demands from Americans that he be tested.
There has been a lot of speculation about the president’s health and whether or not he is truly physically fit for the job. President Trump being of the age that proves more fatal for the coronavirus and his repeated exposure is reason enough for a test a public release of the results. The American people deserve to know if the president is healthy enough to lead the nation through this health crisis.
