President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview on Wednesday night that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Americans sickened with coronavirus could still go to work, which might even help them get better. That advice contradicts the advice of health experts, who say that anyone who is experiencing symptoms, however mild, of COVID-19 (the lung disease that derives from the novel coronavirus), should stay isolated from other people.
As HuffPost reports, Trump spoke to the network’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, when he noted that many people who contract the coronavirus will have either mild symptoms or no symptoms.
That bit of information is backed up by medical experts. For example, as Harvard Medical School explains, people who get the virus may have mild symptoms, severe symptoms requiring hospitalization, or no symptoms at all.
Trump told Hannity that, “you never hear about those people.”
He went on to claim that people with the virus could get better by going to work.
