hope they keep testing, this whole incubatory period thing is still unclear, especially if the viral load was small.
An outbreak of COVID-19 has struck the White House — including the president himself — just weeks before the 2020 election. Why it matters: If the president can get infected, anyone can. And the scramble to figure out the scope of this outbreak is a high-profile, high-stakes microcosm of the U.S.’ larger failures to contain the virus and to stand up a contact-tracing system that can respond to new cases before they have a chance to become outbreaks. COVID-19 positives: President Trump tested positive early Friday and is reportedly experiencing "mild" symptoms. First Lady Melania Trump tested positive early Friday and is reportedly experiencing "mild" symptoms. White House aide Hope Hicks tested positive on Thursday.

TBD: The COVID-19 status of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer remains unknown. It is unclear whether former Vice President Joe Biden has tested negative since Trump's results became public. Among Democrats: Sen. Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for vice president, tested negative for the coronavirus on Thursday after attending the first presidential debate on Tuesday. https://www.axios.com/trump-republi...ive-0c465d3b-b1df-4096-a1b8-6df63efbf2f7.html
In fall 2016 Hillary Clinton got sick. Not terribly surprising after months of constant travel, jet lag, bad food, fatigue, shaking hands with thousands of people. Trump and right wing media went on a tear about her being old and frail, too weak for presidency. Although she is now hale and hearty. Will Fox news now say Trump is too old and frail? Not holding my breath.
Constitutional questions mount: Can Donald Trump be replaced on the ballot in an election which he cannot stop - and can individual Republican states launch desperate bid to delay voting until early December or even do without it? Trump on Thursday confirmed he and wife Melania tested positive for COVID-19 The two were forced to quarantine after Trump counselor Hope Hicks became ill Trump is 74, putting him at higher risk of serious complications from the virus Under normal circumstances, Pence would assume control if Trump were to become incapacitated, under the 25th Amendment Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, would be next in the line of succession In an election year, the RNC could also hypothetically replace Trump on their ticket and nominate a new candidate It is not entirely clear how or if he could be replaced on the ballot just 32 days before the election https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...tions-mount-Donald-Trump-replaced-ballot.html
