Should Trump return to @WhiteHouse? Yes, but only if he is fully cleared by Walter Reed treating physicians to return home. He should not leave against medical advice even if his own personal physician approves it. Why? See my thread. 1/X 
The president should follow the advice treating physicians at Walter Reed because they are independent & experienced. The president's physicians, as we have seen, feel under pressure to present an "upbeat" picture even if unwarranted by clinical facts. It wouldn't be safe.
If the president returns to the @WhiteHouse he must self-isolate. @CDCgov recs isolation at least 10 days since symptoms first appeared & 24 hours w/o fever. Because Mr Trump was hospitalized & needed oxygen, he may need to isolate up to 20 days.
The @WhiteHouse has likely had a superspreader event. I know of no other center of power globally which has had such an event. It was a breach of public duty. We can't let this happen again.
If the president self-isolates, it must be strict. He cannot have visitors or see staff or family. Food should be left outside the door. He must not put others at risk until he is clearly not infectious. It may not be politically advantageous, but health & life come first.
The norms of safe behavior apply to everyone. That is a core American value. There cannot be one set of rules for the president & another for the rest of us. Mr. Trump owes a sacred duty to protect himself, protect his family & staff, & to model the safest behavior for the public
