Trump thinks he's "cured". His staff use gowns, respiration masks and goggles to interact with him

Trump's "schedule right now is fluid, we're looking at his prognosis," chief of staff Mark Meadows told reporters earlier at the White House. "If he decides to go to the Oval, we've got safety protocols there."

Indeed, preparations had been made for Trump's eventual return to the Oval Office, including positioning a so-called "isolation cart" stocked with yellow medical gowns, respirator masks and plastic goggles required for visitors just outside the office doors near where Trump's assistants sit.

When he did return, Trump avoided other areas of the Wing Wing, entering the Oval Office directly from outside. Meadows and social media adviser Dan Scavino joined him there dressed in the protective gear. It wasn't clear who else he might have encountered along the way.

President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office Wednesday, just days after more than 15 members of his staff tested positive.

To protect those around him, an “isolation cart” stocked with medical gowns, masks, and goggles is just outside the doors to his office.

Trump says he’s feeling great and ready to hold campaign rallies.

The rule of thumb is that you can take steroids at that level for ten days. Even if his body has beaten the virus -- which is a very iffy proposition for a man of is age and comorbidities even with the treatment he's gotten -- he's going to crash when he has to go off the 'roids. And that will probably happen this weekend or early next week.
