President Trump announced Monday he would soon be discharged from Walter Reed Military Medical Center.
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2020
The fortunate news prompted users on social media to celebrate his triumph over coronavirus with a deluge of memes.

Of course, there were also a fair share of leftists who weren’t too happy to hear that Trump was recovering and preparing to return to the White House.
SUPERCUT!

I felt safer reporting in North Korea than I currently do reporting at The White House. This is just crazy.

Also HIPAA has never applied to a president. His health is a public concern and a national security issue. https://t.co/uFYTA8q2zf

WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO NEXT? This is crazy. Where is the Republican leadership? I’m afraid to turn on the TV. A madman is running the country. Somebody do something.

“Don’t be afraid of Covid” should be the end of Trump’s presidency and the Republican Party.

Or – don’t be afraid of Covid if you are President of the United States with access to the best care, drugs and experimental treatment. https://t.co/Ze9kp53aBv

This tweet achieves a rare trifecta: it is immoral (trivializing the 210k dead Americans), deadly (encouraging unsafe behavior going forward) and counterproductive (reinforcing the 3/5 majority of voters that consistently say Trump hasn't taken the threat seriously enough). Rare! https://t.co/y0ZJPPeEw1

"Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life," the president says after being rushed to the hospital and receiving extraordinary treatment for a deadly virus that would be largely unavailable to most average people….

Hysteria, slander and shaming were expected after Trump tested positive.
