Joe Biden slams Donald Trump for downplaying COVID-19 soon after returning to White House from hospital

Firstpost  

The US president told Americans ’to get out there’ and not fear COVID-19 as he returned from the Walter Reed National Medical Centre for COVID-19 treatment Miami: Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden on Monday castigated Donald Trump for saying Americans should not be afraid of COVID-19 or let it “dominate your life,” even after the president tested positive for coronavirus. “I saw a tweet he did, they showed me, he said ‘don’t let COVID control your life,’” Biden told Florida news station Local 10 as he campaigned in the key battleground state. It matters, it saves lives, it prevents the spread of the disease.” Biden’s remarks came just minutes after Trump concluded a four-day period of COVID-19 treatment at Walter Reed military medical center in Maryland, returned to the White House, and defiantly removed his facemask as he stood on the mansion’s balcony. “I hope no one walks away with the message thinking that it’s not a problem.” Biden faced Trump on stage in their rollercoaster debate last Wednesday, just days before the president announced his positive Covid diagnosis.
