President Donald Trump has several strikes against him — age, obesity, elevated cholesterol and being male — that could put him at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from the coronavirus infection he disclosed late Thursday.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump, who also tested positive, “are both well at this time” and plan to remain at the White House while recovering and being closely monitored, according to a statement from his physician, Dr. Sean Conley.
A White House official said Friday that Trump was having mild symptoms.

Health woes? What health woes? Bull schiff. Death to the AP.
I hope to God that President Trump doesn’t end up in one of Andrew Cuomo’s nursing homes. :-P
Absolute nonsense to say he’s obese
Amy recently tested negative.
He's not obese, he doesn't have elevated cholesterol (he takes medications to keep them non-elevated), and the age factor is mostly because older people often have co-mobidities or weakened health in general, of which he does not have. I'm afraid though he is male, and hasn't tried to correct that, thank goodness. :)
Pre-diabetes is a sham. Either you have diabetes or you don't. There is a spectrum of blood sugar levels and pancreatic function among all people. When those reach levels of the definition of diabetes, then you have diabetes.
Most of us are pre-COVID-19. I guess we need to behave differently.
They love throwing the word “obesity” just for fun.
Watch that b*tch Nancy Pelosi repeat this over and over again.
And Michael Cohen was his personal lawyer. Just sayin’
My guess is that Biden is considered high risk. If president, how would he handle a dire situation, such as a war, when he cannot meet someone face to face. Zoom meetings? What happens when the infrastructure is down, damaged, or destroyed? Meeting face to face may be the only option. But he might catch the covid... oh my gosh!! Let war continue because he cannot meet face to face.
What “health woes?” Aside from being overweight, he’s in fine shape.
He’s reportedly 244 lbs with a BMI over 30. That makes him medically and technically “obese”, which is one of the greatest risk factors for serious complications.
He’s also 74, which in and of itself has a reported 90X+ greater risk factor for serious complications over someone in their 20s.
That said, I of course wish him and Melania a speedy recovery. But let’s not kid ourselves on his health and risk factors, either..
Trump seems to have mild symptoms.
Trump has the best doctors in town. If the left is putting all their eggs in this basket, they are bigger idiots than I thought.
Finally. A coherent position. Thank you
Melania also just tweeted that she hasild symptoms.
Pray for the Trumps.
He’s got a 95% chance of overcoming this.
He’s too obstinate for the virus to win.
“Trump seems to have mild symptoms.”
That’s suggested currently but you have to keep an eye on the ChiCom Virus.
People have been known to be doing fine and then take a rapid turn for the worse.
I’m prayerful President Trump will see a sure and speedy recovery, FLOTUS too.
He does golf so there is that if he gets enough walking in.
They will burn in hell.
Fake news without actually being fake? Looks like the makings of a classic trump, especially because certain enties thought it in their best interest to inflate the numbers.
The COVID stats have been good for meme generation.
I'm not saying it was COVID, but it was COVID.
