Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!
A report from c|net adds:
White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said in a memorandum late Thursday that the president and first lady were "both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence."
The announcement of the president and first lady's positive coronavirus test results came just hours after the revelation that top White House aide Hope Hicks had tested positive for the virus as well. The president indicated in an earlier tweet that he and the first lady had begun the quarantine process.
Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19. Terrible! The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!

No. I hope he lives through it. And refuses to resign as a candidate. And gets declared incapacitated around January 1. Bonus points if Pence also turns out to be infected and is also declared incapacitated one day later. (And was too sick to do anything while acting pres.)
Otherwise things get a bit dicier than I prefer. (As a bonus he'll then get to experience the after effects.)

I didn't say I want hm to die, I don't. A quick death would be much too good for him. I want him to have a long painful illness and become a "long-hauler".
Overreacting is one thing, sticking your head up your ass hoping the problem goes away is another - edIII
