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!

    To rule a dead world that doesn't oppose you is better than a live world where there are a non zero number who do not worship your every breath.

    There are a disturbing number of people who follow Milton's idea of Satan's driving dogma "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."

    Leaving aside how incoherent both concepts are (eternal existence for a finite mind inevitably becomes looping eternal torment, and Heaven is a *far* worse problem for the Abrahamic nuttiness than Hell...), there seems to be some kind of common thread of narcissism and utter fixation on control with people like Trump that really *would* rather rule a desolate Hellscape than be out of power in a utopia.
