Donald Trump has plunged back into playing down the disease that left him in hospital him for three days and has killed more than 210,000 Americans, again comparing Covid-19 to seasonal flu and signalling he plans to return soon to the campaign trail.
Back at the White House after a dramatic helicopter return from the military hospital where received an unprecedented level of care for Covid-19, the president’s attitude alarmed infectious disease experts, and suggested his own illness had not caused him to rethink his often-cavalier attitude towards the disease, which has also infected the first lady and more than a dozen White House aides and associates.
