US President having a COVID-19 give a challenge or a threat to his campaign for the coming US election on November because he needs to rest and must recover and the remaining days will be wasted because of the COVID-19 he gets.

“Mr. Trump’s positive test result posed immediate challenges for the future of his campaign against former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee, with barely a month until Election Day. Even if Mr. Trump, 74, remains asymptomatic, he will lose much of his remaining time on the campaign trail. If he becomes sick, it could raise questions about whether he should remain on the ballot at all. The White House did not say how long Mr. Trump would have to remain isolated, but it canceled his plans to fly to Florida for a campaign rally on Friday, stripping his public schedule for the day of everything except a midday telephone call “on Covid-19 support to vulnerable seniors.”” (NY Times)

“For months, Mr. Trump has refused to wear a mask in public on all but a few occasions and has repeatedly questioned their effectiveness. And as recently as Tuesday, at their opening debate, he mocked Mr. Biden for wearing one. “I don’t wear masks like him,” the president said, his voice dripping with derision. “Every time you see him, he’s got a mask.”(NY Times)

“He has scorned the advice of scientists, saying they were mistaken about the severity of the situation.” (NY Times)

“Trailing in the polls, the president in recent weeks has increasingly held crowded campaign events in defiance of public health guidelines and sometimes state and local governments…….. has held a number of rallies around the country since, often with hundreds and even thousands of people jammed into tight spaces, many if not most without masks.” (NY Times)
