Current and former Secret Service agents and medical professionals were aghast Sunday night at President Trump’s trip outside the hospital where he is being treated for the coronavirus, saying the president endangered those inside his SUV for a publicity stunt.
As the backlash grew, multiple aides who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations also called Trump’s evening outing an unnecessary risk — but said it was not surprising. Trump had said he was bored in the hospital, advisers said. He wanted to show strength after his chief of staff offered a grimmer assessment of his health than doctors, according to campaign and White House officials.
A growing number of Secret Service agents have been concerned about the president’s seeming indifference to the health risks they face when traveling with him in public, and a few reacted with outrage to the trip, asking how Trump’s desire to be seen outside his hospital suite justified the jeopardy to agents protecting him. Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis has already brought new scrutiny to his lax approach to social distancing, as public health officials scramble to trace those he may have exposed at large in-person events.

The problem experts say is that the inside of that SUV is deadly dangerous. Its hermetically sealed and air doesn't get out so those inside are in bad shape. The unfortunate SS agents to get that duty ridding with Trump have now got to quarantine for 2 weeks.
Trump demonstrates his usual selfishness and recklessness again show he only cares about one thing, himself.

The Secret Service tells POTUS what he can do...and tell him what he can't.
Not the other way around.
POTUS ASKS "Can I go out?"...Secret Service can say 'No' or 'Yes'...based on their own security assessment.
SS has the last word.
Perhaps the most interesting epidemiological studies conducted during the 1918–1919 pandemic were the human experiments conducted by the Public Health Service and the U.S. Navy under the supervision of Milton Rosenau on Gallops Island, the quarantine station in Boston Harbor, and on Angel Island, its counterpart in San Francisco. The experiment began with 100 volunteers from the Navy who had no history of influenza. Rosenau was the first to report on the experiments conducted at Gallops Island in November and December 1918.69 His first volunteers received first one strain and then several strains of Pfeiffer's bacillus by spray and swab into their noses and throats and then into their eyes.
When that procedure failed to produce disease, others were inoculated with mixtures of other organisms isolated from the throats and noses of influenza patients. Next, some volunteers received injections of blood from influenza patients.
Finally, 13 of the volunteers were taken into an influenza ward and exposed to 10 influenza patients each. Each volunteer was to shake hands with each patient, to talk with him at close range, and to permit him to cough directly into his face.
None of the volunteers in these experiments developed influenza.
Rosenau was clearly puzzled, and he cautioned against drawing conclusions from negative results. He ended his article in JAMA with a telling acknowledgement: “We entered the outbreak with a notion that we knew the cause of the disease, and were quite sure we knew how it was transmitted from person to person. Perhaps, if we have learned anything, it is that we are not quite sure what we know about the disease.”69 (p. 313)
This was abundantly clear with Biden

It's clear that Trump doesn't care about other people.
He only cares about himself and getting elected again
Just my opinion

It’s no worse than the flu. All of you who are STILL falling for this extreme exaggerated story pumped to you about this virus have no hope of ever thinking for yourselves. Do you really, truly not question the media and what they tell you? Honest question. You really think they are giving you unbiased facts? Hell, even biased facts- but you really think they report the truth?
