Donald Trump tosses masks at people during Florida rally

Tuesday, 13th October 2020

Donald Trump has returned to public spaces less than two weeks after testing positive for coronavirus. People gathered in large numbers at an outdoor assembly in Sanford, Florida, where Donald Trump addressed the first of four projected campaign stops over the next four days.

As Trump entered the venue of the rally in Florida, he showed his face mask to the crowd and tossed it.

During his address, Donald Trump states that it is excellent to be back in his home state, Florida, to make an official return to the campaign tracks,"

Trump made this declaration in presence of a gathering of thousands of followers, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, mostly without masks, notwithstanding the continuing pandemic.

“I am so excited and energised by your devotions and humbled by your support," he added.

Earlier on Monday, bringing to Twitter, Trump had declared that he not only overcame the “crazy horrible China virus” but was also “immune” to it now.

However, his tweet was later taken down by Twitter, declaring that it is “misleading and potentially harmful” message about COVID-19. This occurred after his interview with Fox News, wherein Trump first started the immunity claim stating that he was “feeling great” and was enthusiastic to get out of the “basement.”

Trump's decision to so immediately return to the campaign trail drew an objection from Joe Biden and other Democrats.

Furthermore, the President's physician published an update on his well-being that said Trump had tested negative for the virus — and had done so on back-to-back days. His doctor, Navy Cmdr. Scott Conley noted that the tests, practising in combination with other data, including viral load, have led him to decide that Trump was not infectious.
