Trump's COVID Infection Puts Him in Multiple High-Risk Categories - Scientific American

US President Donald Trump has COVID-19

Both are well and Trump will continue working from home in the White House without disruption, said his physician in a statement. Other leaders of countries hard-hit by the pandemic have had COVID-19, including UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Trump’s diagnosis is particularly consequential because his age, sex and weight put him in several high-risk categories — and because of the imminent US presidential election.
