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!

The only healthcare that motherfucker needs is a bunch of hydroxychloroquine, which he can take along with drinking bleach and drano.

HCQ is a vaccine and bleach is a cure for outside the body.

Yeah, he'll get the HCQ if his doctors feel it is appropriate, no state government can deny it to him for political reasons.

However many gallons added to the IV that the doctors believe is necessary to do the job.

If you think there's a country in the world where the average person gets the same level of healthcare as the head of government you're a fool.
