Trump tests positive to COVID-19 just a month before presidential election

트럼프, 美 대선 한달 남기고 코로나 확진... 대선 영향은?

The U.S. presidential election has been turned on its head after President Trump was hospitalized with COVID-19.
Now with the election now less than a month away, how is this curveball going to affect the race?
Oh Jung-hee with the details.
U.S. President Donald Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis came just 32 days before the presidential election.
Trump's campaign said it would postpone rallies and other events where he was scheduled to appear or take them online.
Trump's health is now the main factor in determining the format of the next presidential debate, scheduled for October 15th, or whether it'll be held at all.
It's still not been revealed publicly, though, exactly how the virus reached the President.
"It's hard to assign blame, given the high level of transmissibility of the virus. And then you have the president himself has been somewhat defiant about masks and that sort of thing. So it may have just been the perfect storm, and inevitable, unfortunately."
Health experts say what makes Trump more vulnerable to the coronavirus is his age, and possibly, his weight.
"He has some mild hypertension, but so does a huge part of the population at that age. So I don't think other than what we know publicly, he has any very high risk factors except, really, his age. Even his obesity is not really to the state that would be a real problem."
If Trump falls severly ill, then Vice President Mike Pence would take over.
The Republican National Committee would also choose a replacement nominee if Trump were to become incapacitated.
However, an expert on U.S. election law says,... what deserves more attention is, how the election will be affected overall.
"Does this change anybody's mind about who they want to vote for or whether they want to vote? // So I think this affects the environment around the election and the environment around the narrative of voting far more than it affects actual continuity of government."
Democratic nominee Joe Biden pulled his negative ads attacking Trump after the White House announcement of Trump's diagnosis, but he continues to campaign.
