Once news broke out that President Donald Trump contracted Coronavirus after he posted a tweet saying he is starting his quarantine with the First Lady, there was of course a lot of speculation. Many even jumped straight to wondering if he would survive the illness given his age. People wondered what would happen with the election if he died. Then of course came the conspiracies. Is this a publicity stunt for people to have sympathy for him? Was it pulled to tell people the virus is real so that he didn’t have to say so himself?
There was a lot of situations that brought on these kinds of thoughts. The main thing being that the night before, the President had made a sort of back handed comment about Joe Biden always wearing a mask during their debate. Another thing being that at the beginning of this pandemic, the President even went as far as saying that the virus was a hoax. It seemed almost inevitable that he would be infected with the virus at some point because he often has ignored or pushed away the warnings of many qualified scientists. The responses in the media were all over the place. I even saw many on social media making a joke of the matter and even wishing death upon the President of the United States. I would never wish death upon anyone, but I did find it ironic that President Trump contracted the virus after he had ignored the facts of it for so long.
