Trump returns to White House; COVID-19 invades his inner circle

백악관이 코로나19 온상…트럼프 이어 관리•기자까지 전염
President Trump arrived back at the White House Monday night after spending three days at Walter Reed - every moment clearly orchestrated to send a message.
He is again drawing criticism after walking up a balcony and removing his mask.
Then, shot a campaign style video that he posted on Twitter in which he thanked his doctors and said he learned so much about coronavirus telling Americans, don't let it dominate you, don't be afraid of it.
Arirang News' Kim Yeon-seung has more on a confident President Trump, but there is still a lot we don't know about, medically.
President Trump returned to the White House on Monday after spending 72 hours at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
After disembarking from Marine One on the south lawn of the White House,... the President's first action was to climb to the balcony.
He then ripped off his mask and gave a big thumbs up as if to confirm the statement he made in his video-tweet.
"Don’t let it dominate you. Don’t be afraid of it. You’re going to beat it. We have the best medical equipment. We have the best medicines, all developed recently,"
After his appearance on the balcony, Trump then went back inside the White House, still not wearing a mask.
Trump's arrival has prompted entire offices in the West Wing to sit vacant in an effort to isolate the President who is still at risk of spreading the disease.
An official working at the White House went as far as to describe the West Wing as a "ghost town."
A necessary measure... considering how at least 11 people who have come into contact with the President have tested positive for COVID-19.
The hot-bed of the viral contagion was the rose garden event held on September 26th to announce Trump's Supreme Court pick, Judge Amy Barrett.
At least 8 attendees tested positive for COVID-19, including press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, two senators,... and an unnamed reporter.
But despite the alarmingly high number of confirmed cases, the White House has refused to contact-trace this event and has even cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention out of the process.
