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!

And wouldn't you guess it, but if he follows the guidelines, he will miss the next two debates. He has to make it to the 15th and 22nd to be safe from each debate. Assuming he is symptomatic starting Friday and adding in the fact he is high risk, you get October 2nd + 20 days self-isolation per the guidelines. And would you look at that, what a coincidence. And if they change their mind, they can always claim that he has the clear PCR tests needed to end the isolation period early or claim the 10 day guideline applies because he was asymptomatic.
