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!

      What makes you think I got more than 3 hours sleep last night? And that wasn't even straight thought it was interrupted by waking up in pain?

      One slipped keypress? I think that's pretty good. I can't see the monitor properly at this time of morning, as the sun shines right onto the screen briefly, and I haven't pulled it out of the high energy saving mode that I put it in last night before going to bed, so the contrast <s>is</>was (now changed - thanks for the advice) low.

      Anyway, thanks for going to so much effort to inform me of a single character typo, and possible solutions, even if none of them were actually appropriate. It's heartwarming to know you care so much.

        Methinks you have more serious problems than wondering what Freud would say.
        But thanks for sharing with us your miserable feelz on an autumnal Friday morning, hope you'll get better and spare us of the whine.
