Trump, wife Melania test Covid-19 positive


Washington, Oct 2 (IANS): US President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he and his wife Melania have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

"Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for Covid-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this together," he said in a tweet.

The next course of action for the President and the First Lady was not immediately clear as he has events scheduled for Friday in Florida and Saturday in Wisconsin.

The announcement came after White House adviser Hope Hicks, one of Trump's closest aide, was confirmed to have tested positive for the virus on Thursday.

She had travelled with the President on Air Force One earlier this week, an informed source told The Hill news website.

After the revelation, Trump had tweeted: "Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19. Terrible.

"The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process."

Also in a statement, a White House official said contact tracing has been done, "and the appropriate notifications and recommendations have been made", The Hill news website reported.

Hicks is the latest White House aide to test positive for the virus which has so far infected 7,277,352 people in the US and killed 207,791 others, making it the worst-hit country in the world.

National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien had tested positive, as well as a White House valet who serves the President.

Katie Miller, the Vice President's communications director and the wife of Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller, were also infected.

    Jesus on evil plan, detailed book on 'Emerging viruses...' and how to build up immune system in a Message to John Leary dated Monday, August 4, 2014

    Jesus said: “My people, I have talked about a deadly pandemic virus that would be purposely spread among the people to reduce the population. This concept of reducing the population is a plan of Satan, who hates man, and he has the one world people carrying this out because they worship Satan. This statement about reducing the population is also in the Georgia Guide stones, which is part of their ten commandments that contradict My Commandments. For those who want to learn more about AIDS and ebola as laboratory creations, there is a book called ‘Emerging viruses, AIDS and ebola’ by Dr. Leonard Horowitz. This book shows you all the background for how these viruses were made and distributed. When the swine flu became pandemic, these evil ones behind it, tried to force everyone to have a flu shot which actually impairs your immune system. This same scare with ebola, will precipitate the same mandatory flu shots that will again compromise your immune system. It is better to refuse these flu shots, and take Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins to build up your immune system. If you see a contagious deadly virus that is transmitted in the air, then I will advise My faithful to come to My refuges, where you can look on My luminous cross in the sky or drink the healing spring water to heal any disease. This pandemic virus is one of the conditions to come to My refuges. Other signs are a world famine, a bank failure, a division in My Church, and mandatory chips in the body. You may even see people persecuted because they refused these flu shots. Have trust in My protection, as your lives will be in danger, when I will call all of My faithful to My refuges.”

    Jesus on simple medication and expensive drugs plus vaccines in a Message to John Leary dated Thursday, August 6, 2020:(Transfiguration of Our Lord; Joe Esper)

    ...
    Jesus said: “My people, this hydroxychloroquine has been used safely for years in treating malaria and other diseases. Now, some studies have shown it to work in slowing the over reaction by your immune system to this latest virus. In combination with Zinc and Zithromax, it has helped heal some serious virus cases. You know a few people who were healed with this regimen. You have seen some doctors and officials try to outlaw its use because they want to sell you expensive drugs and vaccines. You have an article on how to make a recipe for this, but do not use an overdose. Doctors would be better to give this medication out if they were allowed and could get this on the open market. Do not take any mandatory vaccine, because this could harm your immune system. Trust in My help in healing any sickness.

    Jesus on As long as you are in My graces, you should have no fear of dying... in a message to John Leary, dated Saturday, September 26, 2020.

    Jesus said: “My people, a faithful person is not ready to live unless that person is ready to die. I have died on the cross for your sins, and you can come to Me in Confession to cleanse your souls of your sins. As long as you are in My graces, you should have no fear of dying because you are with Me, and I will keep you from falling into hell. You have no fear of death because I have promised salvation eventually in heaven for all of My believers. This corona virus, that is among you from China, has been killing mostly people who have compromised immune systems. Other people who catch this virus, only have mild symptoms. It is this fear of dying from this virus that is being used to control your people with all of your restrictions. Follow My recommendations to protect yourselves, but do not be fearful of dying because you are safe with Me.”

    Trump at first, was not even hand-shaking. Gradually he went one step ahead and hugged those who called him my friend Doland.

    He will greatly regret his progress and might wish that he remained non-handshaking leader.
