If he and his staff were all wearing masks this might be limited.

Should be an interesting next few news days huh?

It would be highly unlikely for Hicks to test positive (for the first time) yesterday, infect the President, and for the President to already have a positive test. Remember, the incubation period is 3 - 14 days.He wasn't sitting on the news for very long. Trump tweeted that he has tested positive. Hope he has no long term issues but more importantly starts taking this more seriously from a health standpoint.
Lots of caveats, of course (Hicks was a false negative before yesterday, a third person infected both Trump and Hicks some time before that, etc.), but I think it's unlikely that the President is sitting on a positive test.

(10-01-2020, 10:18 PM)BostonCard Wrote: Yeah, that's why I put the caveats in. Given the rapid succession of positives, it seems at least as likely that both Trump and Hicks were infected by a third person several days ago.

The White House hosted the Barrrets on Saturday. I assume they came from South Bend, which has been having a significant upturn in cases in the last 2 weeks. The South Bend area has its highest number of hospitalizations in over 5 months. With 7 kids, there are a lot of potential disease carriers who might not be symptomatic.
