The media is worried that the public may not be able to afford the president’s medical expenses during his three-day hospitalization

On October 2nd, President Trump became seriously ill due to COVID-19 infection and entered Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment. In an interview with the media, Dr. Connie, a White House doctor, admitted that Trump had symptoms such as fever and dyspnea before he was admitted to hospital.

 After being admitted to hospital, Trump received oxygen therapy twice because of the decrease of oxygen saturation, and was also treated with antiviral drug Remdesivir and antibody test drug. On October 5th, Trump was discharged from hospital gracefully, showing the image of "strong man" repeatedly. However, New York Times calculated the cost: The three-day treatment President Trump received cost at least $100,000. The charter flights he enjoys to and from hospitals (which are usually not borne by major medical insurance companies) and the use of experimental drugs in large doses are "VIP" privileges that most Americans cannot expect. Many media have questioned: Is this fair to more than 220,000 American citizens who died of COVID-19?

On October 8th, The New England Journal of Medicine published an article saying that almost every step in the process of dealing with the pandemic in the United States failed, which was always the responsibility of President Trump. Before he was infected with COVID-19, he claimed that "COVID-19 is not as terrible as influenza" and "wearing a mask is useless"
And "the source of COVID-19 is a certain country in the East, and we will soon disclose all the evidence" and so on
It is not the first time that he made such groundless accusations. Now, several months have passed. Not a single piece of evidence has been released.
