As of his Oct. 2 announcement, the president was reported to exhibit some symptoms—and will be altering his duties, sidelining him from in-person activity on the campaign trail.</p> <p>“Tonight, FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19,” the president’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201005213448/https://twitter.com/potus?lang=en">tweet</a> states. “We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!”</p> <p>POTUS issued his tweet only after <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201005213448/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-02/trump-aide-hope-hicks-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-infection">a media outlet</a> had broken news of the developing story.</p> <p>The president’s admission of the situation—itself a bombshell—was released only after apparent significant delay, portending more disruptive developments in the days ahead. The president is 74 and overweight, and some health authorities warn there could be more significant symptoms—and virus spread to others.</p> <p>The White House indeed has had a busy week of traveling, debating, and engaging in fundraising and campaign events. Large numbers of people have had in-person contact with the president and his entourage. Mask-wearing has been very limited at many of these events.</p> <p>Federal employees across multiple agencies are serving in key roles to address the dangers to the president and the public in this pressing situation. Military physicians and federal public health professionals—as reported in the media—are engaged in contact tracing, among other emergency actions.</p> <p>As of the early hours in the crisis, the president reports being able to function. Should he become incapacitated, under the Constitution’s order of succession, the Vice President (who as of Oct. 3 reportedly had tested negative) is next in line—followed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. </p>   </div> </div><div id="ph_pcontent2_1_CommentsList"> <a name="Comments"></a> <div id="comments"> <h3 id="ph_pcontent2_1_h3ShowComments">Reader comments</h3> <div class="standard"> <h2> Mon, Oct 5, 2020 <span class="name"> Jim</span> <span class="location"> Virginia</span> </h2> <p> He brought this not only on himself, but also his political staff and most unfairly on regular nonpolitical feds who work in the White House and Air Force One and all other support staff.
