    Breaking News as reported on FOXNEWS. The President and the First Lady have tested positive for the Chinese virus commonly called Coronavirus. We all hope for a speedy recovery to both of them.

    President Donald Trump says he has tested positive for coronavirus

    President Donald Trump said he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for coronavirus.
    In a tweet, Trump said, “We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!”
    White House physician Sean Conley said in a memo, “The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.”
    He also said he expects Trump to “continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering.”

    Sadly, not adhering to social distancing guidelines made this announcement unsurprising.

    Lol @ sadly, with his wildly irresponsible rhetoric and rallies this almost sounds like a case of chickens coming home to roost...

    Well, while I would never wish this upon my most worst enemy, if it had to be anyone, Trump will do. Chickens coming home to roost. Maybe masks work and distancing works ey? Maybe he needs to have an injection of Dettol. He can always try it ey?

    How long is the quarantine period over there? Does he stay there until he is cleared or cured with these fantastic theraputics he has been extolling?

    I think Melania has the best chance given her age and physical condition overall; Trump on the other hand is over 70, obese and may have other medical conditions we are not aware of so his chances of recovering are reduced. Only time will tell.

    I wonder who he will blame? Himself? No way. China, of course. Fauci...probably. Who knows.

    I wish them a speedy recovery. Does that mean the next debate is cancelled? Will Biden and Wallace need to quarantine too?

    It was bound to happen sooner or later.

    It was never a matter of "if" (only "when").

    Obviously, this makes it very likely that we won't see any more debates (unless the candidates are separated in glass booths).

    Probably.

    Especially, considering the way that Trump was spreading germs, spewing viral particles, and screaming and spitting on everything (when he was getting his head handed to him by Biden).

    I am sure that both Biden and Wallace will observe the recommended protocol.

    unlike Trump, the left will not call him weak or other names for getting the virus, anyone can get it, especially if they do not wear a mask or are around those that do not

    Try reading this thread, the guy right above your post wishes he does not recover. Revist this thread in a scant hour or two.

    If anybody rejoices regarding this, regardless of the person's political inclinations or opposition to Trump, the person shouldn't be called American.
    I do not like his politics and his job performance and I voted already against him, but I'm concerned for his health and I wish him the best, and a speedy recovery. I wish the same to the First Lady and Hope Hicks. I don't wish this nasty virus on anybody. I am very worried for the president and will pray for him.

    Did you see the debate?

    That should give you your answer.

    well to be fair, he said he does not wish him a speedy recovery, not that he wishes he did not recover, stick to the truth

    but yep, we should not be like some on the right and wish people die, like the right with RBG, no reason to be uncivil with people we disagree with... even someone like Trump
