US President Donald Trump did not reveal a positive result of the first rapid COVID-19 test. According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the first positive test result was confirmed on October 1, 2020. However, the US President preferred to hide this fact. WSJ reports that Donald Trump decided not to disclose this information as he was waiting for the second, more thorough coronavirus screening. Mr. Trump’s testing was done under the White House protocol, stating that after a rapid test, a second, more reliable test should be taken. That is why the President did not comment on the first testing, the newspaper mentioned. Last Friday, October 2, Donald Trump officially announced his COVID-19 diagnosis on Twitter. He was rushed to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center the next day on October 3. The President’s treatment consisted of a combination of methods, including an antibody cocktail, the course of Remdesivir, and the dexamethasone steroid. On October 5, Donald Trump’s physician noted that the President was getting better.
