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 if 95% of the positive tests are fake on purpose just to make the disease seem less deadly than it is?

That looks like a really fun rabbit hole! What if all the NEGATIVE results are face? What if we are all infected? And, what if the virus is busy mutating into something from Alien inside all of us? And, what if . . .
Waitaminit - I'm not giving away all of the plot (or lack thereof) for the next Hollweird production.
