All scheduled events for Trump or his family would be postponed or changed to on-line events….
The Vice Presidential debates are due to go on…
Mask wearing within the White House grounds is said to be voluntary right now…
Trump has been treated with a anti-body cocktail that has NOT been approved by the FDA…
Speaker of the House has tested negative also….
Update….
Trump is being taken by Marine One helicopter….
There is concern on how sick Trump is in that he agreed to this move because of the possible negative political optics….
Trump expected to head to Walter Reed hospital after positive test…
President Trump is expected to be taken to Walter Reed Medical Center Friday afternoon according to two administration officials, less then 24-hours after testing positive for the deadly coronavirus….
Joe Biden is out campaigning….Will NOT do large crowds that have shown up to see him on his train stops
The Hill
@thehill
JUST IN: Joe Biden speaks in Grand Rapids, Michigan: “We were supposed to have an event after this at headquarters but based on the crowd size and indoors, it was concluded by the docs not to do it.”
We ARE getting question’s in the media from some medical talking heads about Trump’s previous unscheduled visit to Walter Reed hospital….
How is he going to get on the helicopter out of view of cameras?
Maybe he is approaching this as a reality star moment.
Predictably, some voices on the left are saying he is faking all of this for sympathy.
We can see a door of the WH, But we do not know if he’ll come out of that door….

Thing to watch now is whether Pence gets put into stronghold posture by USSS. So no trips, visits, holding at naval observatory. 1/2

Language WH is using on Trump to hospital is v. similar to Boris Johnson language on hospital travel. And Johnson had to go to ICU. One imagines Trump was reluctant to go for optics reasons. That said, WHMO and Secret Service far more aggressive protectively than UK equivalent.
What other door can he come out of? He could get in a car probably from underground but they are going to fly him there. This is serious.
Probably a bit more that they are letting on…
Yea CG…
Ya wanna be in hospital if things go down hill fast…
Not in your house no matter how much medical stuff ya have in it..
Melania Trump’s symptoms are less then her husband’s….
Marine One helo has been placed on the White Lawn so we can’t get a clear view of Trump getting on board…
The press pool is going to be on the lawn if he is walking out. There’s no way he is not going to be walking out on his own power. Hopefully, he will have a mask on.
Of course there were cameras on Hillary on 9/11/16.
Maybe CG….
This is Trump & Co…
Brian Williams gives a more in depth rundown on the helo and media view angles and give the impression that we may NOT see Trump getting the aircraft…
He reveals that the inside of the helo is NOT Big….
One assumes that the protection agents and helo drivers get tested also…
May not have live video cameras, but he will be photographed if he steps outside the White House. There are very long camera lenses.
there will no live
You can see the press there in the shot, waiting by the helicopter. It will be something if he does not make any sort of statement. He better be wearing a mask though.
mask wearing is still optional ….
they are gonna have to shoot him up with enough drugs
he is walking….SLOWLY
he’s on board…..
did they show it? I missed it.
Video forthcoming. No statement. Hard to believe he didn’t try to say something.
so did i
i’m listening to MSNBC
Marine One lifts
and heads out to Walter Reed hospital
Eta should be 7-10 min….
Pool report
In a suit with face mask
Meadows with him…
Media at The hospital ….
I hear he was wearing a suit and a mask.
No Nixonian goodbye salute I presume.
“Fever, chills, congestion, and cough.”
Yes, this is bad. I hope he recovers as I hope the people who have it who are not also complicit in the deaths of thousands with it also recover.
For now, America stands back and stands by.
Twenty Fifth amendment time?
Pence is reported to be at his home at the Naval Observatory ‘on standby’….
I think it is safe to say that no sitting President has ever been in this much imminent danger since 1981.
Hopefully, things will work out for anyone who might be sick or in a bad place, but ultimately it’s all up to a Higher authority.
He looked reasonably ok in the video, unless this is like the movie “Dave” and that was merely the body double..
It is reported that Biden will pull all Trump negative ads….
After trying to ignore the virus?
He is NOW a person WITH the Virus….
How ironic….
Just saw the video of him walking out…
EVERYONE HAS A MASK….
I assume they all have to be tested
He gave a video statement as well from the White House. He looks and sounds basically like himself.
I am now about 10 percent more likely to believe the theory that he is hoaxing his diagnosis as part of a ploy to claim his imminent election loss was beyond his control.
At least that’s how I would write it on the television drama.
I agree CG…..
He”s sick …
But he’s ‘ milking it’….
“Dave” is trending on Twitter.
I guess I was not the only one…
I just had this conversation with my wife…
I DO NOT want this guy getting a sympathy vote bounce,….
We just need him be alright
Then LOSE
BY A BIG FUCKING MARGIN…
We just had a Trunp & Co. show
Daniel Dale….
After a day in which Biden went to Michigan to deliver a campaign speech and an ill Trump stayed out of view until flying to the hospital, the Trump campaign has just issued a fundraising email saying Biden is “probably already asleep in his basement.”
Maybe Biden should put the negative ads back up?
All I will say about this is Ivan Drago’s statement in Rocky Four is most apt here…nuff said
Wel?
The ole Drago had just 9 lines….
Which one…
Drago turns on his Soviet handlers at the end.
Could Trump ever do that?
Nope…
They still got the ‘goods’ on him…
Kellyanne Conway has tested positive.
Get well soon.. and stay the hell away from George!
The nations White House offices should probably be shut down and cleaned….

BREAKING: Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien has tested positive for Covid-19
The doctors where worried about Trump’s condition at the hospital…….
While doctors maintained during a televised briefing that Mr. Trump was “doing very well” after a night at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, they refused to provide critical details and left open the impression that the president was actually known to be sick a day earlier than previously reported.
Shortly after the upbeat briefing by the doctors, a person familiar with the president’s health gave a far more sober assessment to reporters at Walter Reed on the condition of anonymity. “The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care,” this person said. “We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”
Two people close to the White House said in separate interviews with The New York Times that the president had trouble breathing on Friday and that his oxygen level dropped, prompting his doctors to give him supplemental oxygen while at the White House and decide to transfer him to Walter Reed where he could be monitored with better equipment and treated more rapidly in case of trouble….

Who is telling the truth?
Dr. Sanjay Gupta
@drsanjaygupta
According to the White House doctor, the President was actually diagnosed with #COVID19 on Wednesday morning, and received experimental antibody therapy on Thursday morning — despite public being previously told the President was diagnosed at 1a on Friday.
