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!

Those words will come back to haunt him. There is no good outcome of him getting this virus. Alyssa Milano has shared her experiences, and does not wish the virus on anyone. I agree with her sentiments. We could be at the end game joked about by George Carlin where the Earth will shake us off like a bad cold. Stay safe everyone.

Oh, good grief! Get some perspective! Humanity is not going to go extinct because of COVID-19. Many millions of people may die, and that really is a tragedy. Especially since many of those deaths are avoidable if only we had some real leadership in the White House instead of the orange guy in the clown suit. But rest assured that humanity, as a whole, will get through this.
