Do you have reason to believe that he didn't just mean "seeing his mother" literally?

I saw my mother on Mothers' Day. I stayed 200+ miles away from her while doing so. Facetime is a wonderful thing.

Then he refuted that the next day. I listened to the speech and the comment was thrown out at the end, probably without much thought.

virus != ill != death. But I get your point.
