JAKARTA - After recovering from COVID-19, the President of the United States (US) is even more proud. Through his Twitter and Facebook accounts, Trump claimed to be immune from the disease that has killed millions of Earth's inhabitants. His babbling then received a warning from Twitter. While Facebook still let it.
Trump said he had fully recovered from COVID-19 after receiving a full statement from the White House doctor yesterday. "That means I can no longer be exposed (immune) and cannot transmit it. It's great to know !!!" Trump tweeted.
His controversial claim was labeled a warning by Twitter. "This Tweet violates the Twitter Rules regarding the dissemination of misleading and potentially dangerous information regarding COVID-19," read the label in Trump's tweet.
A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can't get it (immune), and can't give it. Very nice to know !!!

Furthermore, the Twitter spokesperson explained that Trump had made a misleading claim. "We are placing a public interest notice on (President Trump) for violating the Covid-19 Misleading Information Policy by making misleading health claims about COVID-19," said a Twitter spokesman.
Trump also posted the same message on his Facebook account. However the platform has not added a warning label despite the fact that it violates its rules. The statement, which was uploaded 13 hours ago, has now been shared 35 thousand times.

Jason Shepherd, a scientist whose research was funded by the philanthropic organization Mark Zuckerberg, said that Facebook should really take action on Trump's posts. According to him, Trump has issued a false statement about being immune to COVID-19.
"Facebook just needs to do better with misinformation. Especially with COVID-19 where it can literally be life or death. They are too slow and I haven't seen any real change in policy since we sent our attention letter to Mark (Zuckerberg), "said Shepherd, quoted by CNN .
This is not the first time Trump's post has received a Twitter warning. Last month, Twitter also warned against Trump's post about voting. And last week, he added a warning against Trump's post falsely claiming COVID-19 is less deadly than seasonal flu.
Twitter is trying to convince the public that they are ready for the US election by launching a new policy that controls disinformation. Twitter announced that it is expanding its policies to fight misinformation regarding voting.
The new rules will likely force the platform to be more aggressive about President Donald Trump's fact-checking during the final months of the 2020 campaign. Twitter also stopped accepting political advertising in 2019.
Trump's obsession
Trump is obsessed with getting back to campaigning after more than a week's absence. Therefore his recovery is so important.
Trump plans to travel to the main battlefield state, Florida. However, the plan was greeted by demonstrations by residents of Pennsylvania and Iowa.
Scientific evidence is inconclusive on how long it takes for people who have recovered from COVID-19 to have antibodies and be protected from a second infection. But Trump has claimed that he is immune to the coronavirus and is no longer taking medication.
“It seems I am immune, I don't know, maybe a long time, or maybe a short time. Can be for life. Nobody really knows, "Trump said.
"Now you have a president who does not have to hide in the basement, like his opponent," Trump said quipped his rival in the 2020 US elections, Joe Biden.
Trump seems to be in the middle of getting popular votes, because polls show his opponent, Biden, is superior even though he is thin. Therefore, he is so determined to return to campaigning even though he has just recovered from COVID-19.
