NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump has said that catching coronavirus was a “blessing from God” as he revealed that he was given Regeneron drug and it worked immediately. 

Trump, in a video message released on Twitter, said: “I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it (coronavirus). This was a blessing in disguise. I caught it. I heard about this drug. I said, “Let me take it.” It was my suggestion. I said, “Let me take it,” and it was incredible the way it worked. Incredible. I think if I didn’t catch it, we’d be looking at that like a number of other drugs, but it really did a fantastic job.”

Addressing the Americans, Trump said that I want to get for you what I got and I am going to make it free. You’re not going to pay for it. It wasn’t your fault that this happened. It was China’s fault, and China is going to pay a big price for what they have done to this country. China is going to pay a big price for what they have done to the world. This was China’s fault, and just remember that.

We are going to get you the drug. It’s going to be free. We are going to get it into the hospitals as soon as we can. And you’ll see some amazing things happen. Our military is doing the distribution. It’s called logistics, and they deliver, hundreds of thousands of troops in a matter of days. This is easy stuff for them.

Our generals are all ready, we are waiting for the emergency use authorization and the drug companies have just made a lot of it. So hopefully this is going to be not just a therapeutic, it’s going to be much more than a therapeutic. You’re going to get better. You’re going to get better fast, just like I did, he added.
