His announcement sent shockwaves around the world especially because he repeatedly downplayed the virus, disagreed with his own COVID-19 task force on safety guidelines, refused to wear masks publicly and attended massive rallies and campaign events.

Kaitlan Collins, CNN White House Correspondent, said a source close to Trump, who observed his reaction after he started to develop symptoms like a fever as “spooked” and “increasingly alarmed”.

She said in a tweet, “POTUS was spooked after he tested positive for Coronavirus and became increasingly alarmed as he developed symptoms — like a fever — overnight, persons familiar with his reaction say.”

Trump has now been flown to the Walter Reed National Medical Center, a military hospital outside of Washington DC where he will receive treatment and remain under observation.
