As the draft of this report was started, Marine One was awaiting President Trump from the residence, to fly him to Walter Reed Medical Center after the post-midnight announcement that he and First Lady Melania Trump have both tested positive for COVID19.
The word is that they are making this move out of an abundance of caution. The trip to Walter Reed has already occurred. POTUS Trump’s stay is expected to last a few days.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2020
One source has called this development in the last month of the 2020 campaign “God’s October Surprise.” That might sound negative, but it is a rather intriguing notion. More on that another time, as this plays out.
The right-of-center Epoch Times said this afternoon “Trump ‘Hard at Work’ Following COVID-19 Diagnosis: White House,” adding that “President Donald Trump is working hard from the White House despite his COVID-19 diagnosis, as he keeps tabs on the Supreme Court nomination battle and other issues, White House officials said Friday.”
The symptoms being described for the president include a low-grade fever, chills, and congestion. But he and the First Lady are both said to be in good spirits. There will be an office set up at Walter Reed for President Trump will be working from while he is at Walter Reed.

The unfolding drama could prove a boost or a bane to the Trump’s reelection campaign. Time will tell.
It is good to recall that the nation has had similar situations in the late 1960s, as MHProNews previously reported. The Democratic Lyndon B. Johnson Administration was hit by the Hong Kong Flu, race, left-wing riots, and more. Learn more about that chapter in American history via the report linked below.

“Together we’ve flattened the curve, now it’s time to flatten the fear. Doctors from around the country are saying it’s okay to get back to work and reopen America.”
So said the Jobs Creator Network Foundation’s “Flatten the Fear” campaign message.
In this sobering moment when the President of the United States (POTUS) is at Walter Reed in a sweet of offices and rooms designed for just such an occasion, it is good to review the data that JCN’s Flatten the Fear campaign updated just days ago.
Updated as of 9-28-20
