Trump and Melania on quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19
A letter published by the White House from Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, confirmed the diagnosis U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19 after a top aide he spent substantial time with this week tested positive for the coronavirus.
“We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately,” Trump said on Twitter. “We will get through this TOGETHER!”
A letter published by the White House from Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, confirmed the diagnosis. Conley said the president and first lady are “both well at this time” and will be quarantining in the White House.
“Rest assured I expect the President to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering,” he wrote.
Melania Trump said she and her husband were “feeling good” and that she was postponing all upcoming engagements. She said the couple was quarantining “as too many Americans have done this year.”
Hope Hicks, one of the president’s most trusted and longest-serving confidantes, began feeling mild symptoms during the plane ride home from a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday evening, according to an administration official. She was isolated from other passengers aboard the plane and her diagnosis was confirmed Thursday, the person said.
Hicks, who serves as counselor to the president, also accompanied him and other senior aides to the first presidential debate in Cleveland on Tuesday. She is the closest White House official to Trump to test positive for the virus so far.
Trump’s diagnosis marks a major blow for a president who has been trying desperately to convince the US public that the worst of the pandemic is behind them even as cases continue to rise shortly before Election Day. And it stands as the most serious known public health scare encountered by any sitting US president in recent history.
Just before Trump announced on Twitter that he and Melania Trump would begin a “quarantine process,” the White House distributed a schedule for Friday that showed he planned to go forward with a fundraiser at his Washington, D.C., hotel and a political rally in Sanford, Florida.
Those events were quickly cancelled by the White House, according to an updated schedule.

“Although I've defended Pinochet despite his regrettable actions...I support nationalists that are willing to protect their nation ...”
Ah! criminal libeller, there's a sure sign of deficit of intelligence if ever there was one. Kanazawa quotes from two surveys that support the hypothesis that liberals are more intelligent. One is the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, which is often called Add Health. The other is the General Social Survey (GSS). The Add Health study shows that the mean IQ of adolescents who identify themselves as “very liberal” is 106, compared with a mean IQ of 95 for those calling themselves “very conservative.” The Add Health study is huge — more than 20,000 kids — and this difference is highly statistically significant.”

then you would be able to show it. No show, no truth.
