Doctors say the US president is not ‘out of the woods’ yet after spent three nights in hospital

US president Donald Trump has urged the American people not to be afraid of coronavirus as he delivered a video message following his return to the White House from Walter Reed Medical center.
Dont let it dominate, dont let it take over your lives. Dont let that happen. Were the greatest country in the world. Were going back, were going back to work, were going to be out front. As your leader, I had to do that. I know theres danger to it, he said, adding: maybe Im immune, I dont know.
I learned so much about coronavirus, and one thing thats for certain, dont let it dominate you, dont be afraid of it, youre going to beat it, he continued. We have the best medical equipment, we have the best medicines, all developed recently.
Describing his own experience of coronavirus, he said: I went, I didnt feel so good, and two days ago I could have left two days ago two days ago I felt great, like better than I have in a long time, I said just recently, better than 20 years ago.
He said that, as a leader, he had stood out front, I led. Nobody who is leader would not do what I did. I know theres a risk, theres a danger, but thats ok … Now Im better. And maybe Im immune, I dont know, but dont let it dominate your lives.
Mr Trump, who spent three nights in Walter Reed Medical Center for coronavirus, is continuing to be treated with a variety of drugs, after he tested positive for coronavirus last week, leading to his hospitalisation.
Close to 210,000 Americans have died from Covid-19, while more than 7 million have been infected.
Mr Trump arrived back to the White House shortly before 7pm on Monday night on Marine One. After landing, he walked up to the Truman gallery, removed his mask and saluted the helicopter. Shortly after, Mr Trump posted a dramatic 30-second video of his arrival, set to music, on his twitter feed.
