Trump says coronavirus was 'a blessing from God'

PRESIDENT Donald Trump has claimed that contracting the coronavirus was a "blessing from God" and vowed to make the experimental antibody drug Regeneron free for all Covid patients.

In the clip shared on Twitter Wednesday evening, the president described how he "felt good immediately" after taking the emergency antibody cocktail, which he praised as a "miracle."

"I spent four days [at the Walter Reed Medical Center], and I went in and wasn't feeling so hot, and within a very short period of time they gave me Regeneron," he said.

"And other things too but I think this was the key, but they gave me Regeneron and it was like, unbelievable. I felt good immediately."

Trump added: "I felt as good three days ago as I do now."

Share prices in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals ticked up nearly three percent moments after Trump's announcement.

The president also vowed to give Regeneron at no cost to all Americans sickened by the infectious disease, saying: "I wanna get for you what I got, and I'm gonna make it free, you're not gonna pay for it."

He also claimed that it was "China's fault" that more than 210,000 Americans have been infected with Covid.

"You have various other drugs that help a lot, but these, I view these - I know they call them therapeutic, but to me it wasn't therapeutic - it just made me better," Trump insisted.

"I call that a cure," he said. "I want to get them to the hospitals where people are feeling badly."

"That's much more important to me than a vaccine," he added.
