Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!
Given his position and how easily it seems to spread this isn’t a huge shock nevertheless it is since he seemed to be rolling along without it for some time and he had taken that treatment earlier. Prayers for him and Melania.
Trudeaus’ wife and Boris Johnson are another 2.
Maybe rescheduled?
If not, Biden will breath a sigh of relief.
They will disgrace themselves and increase sympathy for Trump, as happened here in the UK when the left wishes the same on Boris.
No more debates?
the risk factors are
1. Age - over 70
2. Overweight
3. Diabetes / high blood pressure
4. Any weak immunity e.g. cancer treatments or HIV etc.
The internet is a cesspool as the left swims in it. The Chicoms can also FOAD.
This is going to end his rallies, fundraisers, pressers and at least the next debate. Trump will be unable to do much. We don’t know what protocols he will take or how staff will work around the quaranteens. We also do not know how long he will stay in quaranteen or treatment regimen. At the minimum 14 days as it takes a while to contract or show symptoms. Then all those near the president or with contact to him will have to be tested. Among those judicial supreme court nominee Amy Coney Barrett was visiting with him and talking strategy to get her confirmed so she must get tested. Biden should be tested as they were on a debate stage together. It was Tuesday when Hope Hicks, his aide, got the virus when travelling with Trump to the debates. She passed it on to Trump likey. So Trump might have been infected when he went on the debate stage. What is confusing is why Hope Hicks got tested Wednesday and was positive but Trump had no testing done till Thursday evening. He went on Fox News and stated he was awaiting results. Then after midnight announed he was positive along with Flotus. Terrible situation. An October Surprise. I wish them all a speed recovery.
The democrats and the media will try to use this as an excuse to halt the nomination, that’s for sure.
No reason for the debates to be canceled if the president remains well.
I understand. But only Fox News is focused on the story right now on TV.
Using Bad Blue News these are the article links they gave on this situation:

We shall see as it falls during the quarenteen window. It should be rescheduled.
They might use it as an excuse to halt elections too.
Thanks to Hostage and to you for repeating this. What he says is exactly correct.
Having a virus in our system and being sick are two very different conditions. All of us have many viruses within us at all times. 1000s of them. We are exposed all the time. Most viruses are innocuous. Most cannot enter our cells even if we breathe them in.
Those that do are almost always defeated by our immune response. Rarely do we experience any symptoms. HCQ/Zinc and other antivirals will not prevent exposure but will help our cells rid the virus and most likely prevent symptomatic disease.
Somewhat overweight, but no diabetes, respiratory, immunity problems. That raises his odds substantially.
I think it was the other guy
There are not two viruses
Covid 19 is the virus
Critical illness is referred to SARS -CoVId - 2
It’s the clinical syndrome
HCQ zinc azithromycin doesn’t cure the disease. I agree it may slow it down
I think the more refined approach is ivermectin and doxycycline
It’s the Chinese curse presently. Interesting times.
I would guess his vitamin D levels are good, I’m sure his doctor is on top of making sure all those numbers are where they should be.
We’ve had elections since 1788, without any of them being halted or canceled due to a crisis.
2020 wont be any different.
And for Biden; too.
EVERYONE knows that Trump was trying to KILL HIM with germs!!!
