Donald Trump briefly leaves hospital for motorcade drive-by
From link.
In 1915, before the Spanish Flu, there was "Typhoid Mary". Today, we have "COVID Donald"!

No real risk to the public. I think exposing the Secret Service like that for a discretionary trip is kind of shitty.

Imagine if you were Trump's official food taster.
Yes, American presidents have their own food taster (in case of potential assassination by food poisoning).

‘This is insanity’: Walter Reed physician among critics of Donald Trump drive-by visit
Oct 5, 2020
Donald Trump drew immediate rebuke from doctors on Sunday afternoon for an “insane” surprise drive-by visit to supporters outside the Walter Reed military medical center, where the president is being treated for an infection of Covid-19.
At least two other people, probably Secret Service agents, wearing respirators and eye protection, were seen on video in the vehicle accompanying Trump, who was also masked, during the short drive.
James Phillips, doctor of emergency medicine at George Washington University, who is an attending physician at Walter Reed, called the stunt “insanity”.
“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die,” he wrote in a tweet.
“For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity.”
In a second tweet, Phillips added: “That Presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but hermetically sealed against chemical attack. The risk of COVID19 transmission inside is as high as it gets outside of medical procedures. The irresponsibility is astounding. My thoughts are with the Secret Service forced to play.”
Jonathan Reiner, professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University school of medicine and health services, said in a tweet: “By taking a joy ride outside Walter Reed the president is placing his Secret Service detail at grave risk.”
“In the hospital when we go into close contact with a Covid patient we dress in full PPE: Gown, gloves, N95, eye protection, hat. This is the height of irresponsibility.”

I wonder if the press corps will need to quarantine?
She briefed them maskless on Thursday and Friday.

This tweet speaks for itself...........
There’s a slap in the face to 200,000+ dead people and their families. And to those who can’t afford or have access to a dedicated medical team.

Trump: 200,000+ deaths is just a statistic. Nothing to worry about. Once I recover, I can tell everyone that COVID-19 is just a fear tactic by the likes of CNN and MSNBC.
Biden: These 200,000+ deaths is proof we need free universal health care just like our neighbours to the north. Right now, we're among the least socially advanced among the Global North.
