On a serious note, viruses don’t discriminate or know who you are. As much as I loathe the POTUS, I hope their illnesses, if they do get sick, are mild (like my own probably case was) and they make a speedy recovery. And I DEFINITELY hope Barron does not get it. > **[President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19...](https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/01/politics/hope-hicks-positive-coronavirus/index.html)** > > President Donald Trump announced early Friday that he and his wife both tested positive for the coronavirus, an extraordinary development coming months into a global pandemic and in the final stretch of his reelection campaign in which he has flouted... I have a feeling that the next debate, if it does take place, will be held on Zoom. Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi are probably wrapping themselves in a few feet of bubble wrap right about now. ---
