Day 245: Even the God Emperor

President Trump tweeted (of course) that he and the First Lady tested positive for COVID-19, following news that an aide, Hope Hicks, was infected. The meme-imperial couple are "well", which PlagueBlog takes to mean asymptomatic. Their quarantine schedule may affect the second debate. The Vice President and Second Lady have tested negative.

P.S. Massachusetts' cases are up four-sevenths of a percentage point again today. (That's 761 cases, keeping us just barely ahead of Missouri for another day.)

P.P.S. NBC has updates on the President's "low-grade fever" and trip to Walter Reed, as well as Melania's "mild cough and headache."
