Ooof, the possible implications of this — campaign shuts down for a huge chunk of remaining time. Lots of people in the WH, Senate, Joint chiefs, NSC, briefers, cabinet will need to quarantine/isolate. Hearings for Supreme Court?

Kaitlan Collins points out on CNN the only reason anyone knows Hope Hicks has COVID is bc reporters broke the news. The WH did not release the information. The WH withheld this information. And exposed people.

NYT: "Even if Mr. Trump, 74, remains asymptomatic, he will have to withdraw from the campaign trail and stay isolated in the White House for an unknown period of time. If he becomes sick, it could raise questions about whether he should remain on the ballot at all."

I have to say i am so pissed off right now. Hope Hicks has Covid, and this President and White House flaunted not wearing masks. And they criticized Joe Biden for wearing one. This is so incredibly irresponsible. And such a lack of concern for others.
