总统唐纳德·特朗普计划主持他的第一次面对面活动自从周六在白宫讨论“法律和秩序”时冠状病毒检测呈阳性以来，尽管有证据表明本周白宫爆发了越来越多的冠状病毒。
根据美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)获得的一份邀请函，该活动将由总统“向和平抗议者发表言论，维护法律和秩序”，这份邀请函得到了两名熟悉该计划的白宫消息人士的证实。
消息人士说，这次集会定于在白宫南草坪举行，与此前计划的由有争议的保守派活动家坎迪斯·欧文斯(Candace Owens)的团体“退欧”(Blexit)组织的活动同时举行，该运动旨在敦促美国黑人离开民主党。
据消息人士透露，特朗普预计将在白宫阳台上向人群发表讲话。
在总统离开沃尔特·里德医疗中心几天后，专家们担心这种事件有可能加剧已经席卷白宫的危机，并进一步传播疾病。周三，美国广播公司新闻报道冠状病毒爆发已经感染“34名白宫工作人员和其他联系人”，引用了一份政府内部备忘录。
一位熟悉活动计划的消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，“所有与会者都必须携带口罩，并将被告知在白宫大院佩戴口罩”。“所有与会者必须在明天早上接受新冠肺炎的审查。这将包括一次体温检查和一份简短的问卷调查。所有与会者的健康和安全是我们的首要任务，我们强烈鼓励遵循疾控中心的指导方针。”
美国广播公司新闻获得了参加定于10月10日举行的白宫活动的邀请。
“特朗普政府继续无视科学，”美国广播公司新闻撰稿人和实习医生杰伊·巴特博士说。“这种说法为时过早，因为我们不知道从现在到周六会发生什么，因为症状随时可能出现。他让许多人处于危险之中，我们看到了后果。这种事不能再发生了。”
特朗普竞选团队还宣布周一晚上在佛罗里达州桑福德举行集会。在推特上，总统称之为“一个非常大的集会!”
拜登阵营很快对这一消息做出了回应，拜登的副直接反应协调员迈克·格文在一份声明中说，“唐纳德·特朗普似乎生活在一个不同的现实中，他没有生病，也没有与新冠肺炎接触，他不仅仅是在白宫举办了福奇博士自己描述的超级传播活动，可能还感染了数十人。这一决定极其鲁莽和不负责任，这只是特朗普挥舞着战胜这一病毒的白旗的最新证据，尽管它每周杀死数千名美国人，打击我们的经济。”
2020年10月7日，盐湖城，犹他大学，在副总统迈克·彭斯和参议员卡马拉·哈里斯之间的副总统辩论之前，唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持者举着横幅。
总统私人医生肖恩·康利(Sean Conley)在周四晚上的新闻稿中表示，“周六将是(特朗普)周四确诊后的第10天”，并为特朗普在确诊后取消公共活动后再次举办公共活动敞开了大门。
“根据该团队一直在进行的高级诊断的轨迹，”康利继续说，“我完全预计总统届时会安全返回公共场合。”
白宫和康利因故意误导美国人民而受到批评，在总统检测呈阳性后，他们对总统的健康状况和治疗时间表发表了相互矛盾的声明，这导致了那些负责向公众通报总统健康状况的人的可信度危机。
这一事件的消息以及预计的与会者人数肯定会再次引发人们的担忧，即白宫没有采取必要的措施来阻止这一疾病的传播。
2020年10月5日，唐纳德·特朗普总统走出沃尔特·里德国家军事医疗中心的前门，返回白宫。
哈佛大学流行病学家、美国广播公司新闻撰稿人约翰·布朗斯坦博士说，“虽然总统继续表现出改善，但我们必须对他的健康保持警惕。”
布朗斯坦说:“我们知道这种疾病会发生意想不到的急剧变化，提供这样一个积极的预测可能只会提供一种错误的安全感。”
几个玫瑰园仪式的出席者两周前提名艾米·科尼·巴雷特为下一任最高法院候选人，此后他的检测呈阳性，包括上周末在沃尔特·里德医疗中心接受治疗的总统。
Trump planning to host 1st in-person event since diagnosis at White House on Saturday: Sources
PresidentDonald Trumpis scheduled tohost his first in-person eventsince testing positive for the coronavirus on Saturday at the White House discussing "law and order," despite evidence of a growing coronavirus outbreak at the White House this week.
The event will feature "remarks to peaceful protesters for law and order" by the president, according to an invite obtained by ABC News and confirmed by two White House sources familiar with the planning.
The gathering is scheduled to take place on the South Lawn of the White House in conjunction with a previously planned event organized by controversial conservative activist Candace Owens' group Blexit, a campaign to urge Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, sources said.
Trump according to a source is expected to address the crowd from the balcony of the White House.
With just days separating the president from his stay at Walter Reed Medical Center, experts fear this type of event threatens to exacerbate the crisis already engulfing the White House and further spread the disease. On Wednesday, ABC News reported that thecoronavirus outbreak had infected"34 White House staffers and other contacts" in recent days, citing an internal government memo.
"All attendees must bring a mask with them and will be instructed to wear it on the White House Complex," a source familiar with the planning of the event told ABC News. "All attendees must submit to a Covid-19 screening tomorrow morning. This will consist of a temperature check and a brief questionnaire. The health and safety of all attendees is our priority and following CDC guidelines is strongly encouraged."
This invitation to a White House event scheduled for October 10 was obtained by ABC News.
"The Trump administration continues to have disregard for the science," said Dr. Jay Bhatt, an ABC News contributor and practicing internist. "This statement is premature given that we don't know what will happen between now and Saturday given that symptoms can pop at any time. He put many people at risk and we saw the aftermath. This can't happen again."
The Trump campaign also announced a rally on Monday night in Sanford, Florida. On Twitter, the president referred to it as "a very BIG RALLY!"
The Biden camp quickly responded to the news, with Mike Gwin, Biden's deputy direct response coordinator, saying in a statement, "Donald Trump seems to be living in an alternate reality where he isn't sick and contagious with COVID-19 and where he didn't just hold what Dr. Fauci himself described as a super-spreader event at the White House that likely infected dozens more. This decision is stunningly reckless and irresponsible, and it's only the latest evidence that Trump has waved the white flag of defeat against this virus even as it kills thousands of Americans each week and batters our economy."

Dr. Sean Conley, the president's personal physician, said in a Thursday night press release that "Saturday will be day 10 since [Trump's] Thursday diagnosis" and opened the door to Trump hosting public events again after they were canceled following his diagnosis.
"Based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting," Conley continued, "I fully anticipate the president's safe return to public engagements at that time."
The White House and Conley have faced criticism for deliberately misleading the American people, offering conflicting statements about the president's health status and treatment timeline after he tested positive -- leading to a crisis of credibility regarding those tasked with informing the public on the president's health.
News of the event -- and the number of expected attendees -- is sure to reignite concerns that the White House has not taken the steps necessary to stem the disease's spread.

Dr. John Brownstein, a Harvard epidemiologist and ABC News contributor, said that "while the president continues to show improvements, we must remain vigilant about his health."
"We know that this illness can take unexpected sharp turn and providing such a positive forecast may only provide a false sense of security," Brownstein said.
Severalattendees of a Rose Garden ceremonyto name Amy Coney Barrett as the next Supreme Court nominee two weeks ago have since tested positive – including the president, who was being treated at Walter Reed Medical Center last weekend.
