Marvel star Chris Evans has ripped into President Donald Trump for his controversial message telling Americans ‘don’t be afraid of Covid’ as he left the hospital yesterday.
Trump, 74, was discharged from the Walter Reed Medical Center on Monday where he received the best healthcare and treatment after testing positive for coronavirus last week.
Before leaving the military hospital, Trump tweeted in part: ‘Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life.’
Reacting to the statement, a stunned Chris, 39, tweeted: ‘Don’t be afraid of Covid?! You’ve been under round-the-clock care by the best doctors using the best drugs. Do you really think everyone has access to that?!’
He added: ‘Sadly, I’m sure you’re aware of that disparity, you just don’t care This is reckless to a shocking degree, even for you.’

The Avengers actor had previously retweeted posts criticising the president for briefly leaving the hospital over the weekend to do a ‘drive-by’ where he greeted supporters outside the facility.
More than 200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US, which has become one of the worst affected countries in the world.
Rapper Cardi B also criticised Trump over the weekend and shared her theory that the president’s coronavirus diagnosis could be a stunt.
The WAP rapper explained in a video: ‘It’s not far-fetched for the president to have coronavirus because coronavirus is really easy to catch. Some have passed away and some just get it like a regular cold, they lose they sense of taste and smell.
‘Something is funny. It just feels like all this press and publicity that they doing around it, they recording and filming with the president, he’s taking the helicopter to go to the hospital.’
She continued: ‘It’s just funny to me. It’s not sitting right in my spirit. I just feel like he has to do something because that white supremacy thing that he said with the Proud Boys when he said “stand by”… it’s like he received so much bad press because of that, that now he’s just like let’s shift the focus.’
