Hours ago, U.S. President Donald Trump briefed Americans on his improved health in a video posted to Twitter, describing his coronavirus diagnosis as "a blessing from God."

In the video, Trump said that an experimental drug cocktail from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals was key to recovering from his infection. He added that it was his suggestion to be treated with the drug, which has rarely been used outside clinical trials.

Moreover, he vowed that the drug would be free and that he would make China "pay a big price" for the virus that has made its way to U.S. shores.

"I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president because I feel great, I feel, like, perfect," the American President said.

It is worth mentioning that, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he would participate in the second presidential debate set for next week, despite receiving a coronavirus diagnosis.

“I am looking forward to the debate on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 15, in Miami. It will be great!” he tweeted.

The debate is set to take place at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida next Thursday.

On his part, Biden said that the second presidential debate should not be held if Trump is still infected with coronavirus, stressing that he would base his participation in the debate upon recommendations from medical experts.
