US president, Donald Trump, has tweeted that he is ‘feeling great’ as he continues his recovery from coronavirus.
He also wrote that he was ‘looking forward’ to the next presidential debate against his Democratic rival Joe Biden on October 15, in Miami.
However, an earlier post by the president which falsely claimed Covid-19 is less deadly than the seasonal flu, has since been flagged by twitter for violating the social media sites rules.
Twitter said the post was ‘spreading misleading and potentially harmful’ information related to Covid-19.
The post according to CNN has also been removed from facebook.

Shortly after his return, the US president released two videos, one with footage of his journey accompanied by sweeping orchestral music, the other of him speaking on a balcony flanked by US flags.
In the videos, he told Americans to ‘get out there’ and ‘don’t be afraid’ of Covid-19 – despite the 210,000 coronavirus related deaths recorded in the US.
“We are going back to work, we’re going to be out front… I know there is a risk, there is a danger, but that’s ok,” he said.
He also suggested he could now be “immune” to the virus after feeling “better.”
