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!

In some states, the electors are required by law to cast their vote only for the candidate that won in the state's election. Even where that is not the case, who exactly might they vote for? That assumes that both candidates die between the state's election and the EC formalizing the election. Otherwise, the state elections don't happen and so there are no electors to send to the EC.

IIUC, that requirement only applies to the first round ballots. Afterwards they can vote for anyone they choose to vote for. It's happened before.
