– Donald Trump’s appearance at a Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Sunday—after he tested positive for the virus that killed 209,000 people in West Africa earlier this year—highlighted the campaign’s focus on the coronavirus, Reuters reports. “I learned it by really going to school—this is the real school, this isn’t the let’s read the book school—and I get it. And I understand it,” Trump said in a video posted to Twitter. “The time to do that was 200K deaths ago, not when it affected you. We all wish you well but also wish you had done your job. Please do it now.” Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s campaign said it would publish the results of every test the candidate takes after he tested negative for the virus for the second time on Sunday, the New York Times reports. Biden’s deputy campaign manager told ABC’s This Week that the candidate “has led by example” by not wearing a face mask at campaign events. Jason Miller, a Trump campaign senior adviser, mocked Biden on Sunday for consistently wearing a face mask, telling This Week that the 77-year-old Democratic presidential nominee was using masks “as a prop.” Biden and his wife, Jill, are due to resume in-person campaigning in Florida on Monday. A Reuters/Ipsos poll taken Friday and Saturday after Trump tested positive for the virus found Biden leading Trump by 10 percentage points nationally and that nearly two-thirds of Americans thought Trump probably would not have been infected if he had taken the virus more seriously.
