Twitter: Trump is having a telehealth exam
Hulu
Some took to Twitter to express their bemusement over Trump’s televised medical exam. One tweeted: “The President is having a tele-health ’exam’ on FOX News with Dr. Marc Siegel, who asked what his worst symptoms were when he went to Walter Reed. Trump said he ‘didn’t feel strong’ and experienced ‘weakness’ until his Regeneron cocktail.” Another said bluntly, “I’m watching the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen,” along with a screen capture of the interview taking place. A third shared a clip of the president saying he has been retested, along with the clip of Trump saying, “I haven’t even found out numbers or anything yet but I’ve been retested and I know I’m either at the bottom of the scale or free.”

Fox’s decision to keep crews away from the White House is in keeping with the CDC’s recommendation that most people can stop self-isolating 10 days after they first show symptoms of having COVID, if their medical condition has improved, they haven’t had a fever for 24 hours, and if they aren’t on medicines that control a fever (via WGN9). But all of this meant there was not actually a “live” exam of any kind performed, and that immediately raised eyebrows.
