#TRUMP

Donald Trump's doctor said the president was 'no longer a transmission risk' but didn’t say if he had tested negative for Covid-19.

@michael481 replied: “Or... he had it, and got better quickly because it's not a very debilitating disease to healthy people.” @gr8tefuldaniel adde: “Show us all the tests. Have them notarised. He is a known liar, how do we know he was ever sick at all? Proof, please.”

@chulusee tweeted: “Still infected until published negative test results show otherwise. Never trust a super-spreader.”

#ROBBURROW

A BBC report on rugby league player Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December, aired.

@Cormby68 tweeted: “I seriously don’t know what to say, he may be small in stature but he’s got the heart of a lion. As for his wonderful wife, well, I can’t put how strong she is into words, keep battling @ Rob7burrow.”

@nora114 added: “Weeping… what an amazing man and family. A cruel disease being handled with such bravery and dignity. A lesson to us all.”
