Trump insists he’s free of coronavirus and ready for the campaign trail

LA Times  

President Trump removes his face mask to speak from the Blue Room balcony of the White House to a crowd of supporters Saturday. President Trump on Sunday declared he was healthy enough to return to the campaign trail, a day after the White House doctor said he was no longer at risk of transmitting the coronavirus but did not say explicitly whether Trump had tested negative for COVID-19. The memo followed Trump’s first public appearance since returning to the White House after being treated for COVID-19 at a military hospital. As Trump returned to the public stage, Dr. Albert Ko, an infectious disease specialist and department chairman at the Yale School of Public Health, said that the White House appeared to be following CDC guidelines for when it was appropriate to end isolation after mild to moderate cases of COVID-19. Ko added that the White House had issued “convoluted” statements about Trump’s health that left many questions unanswered, including whether the president ever had pneumonia.
