Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19 -- Hospitalized at Walter Reed
Trump announces via Twitter that he and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19 after senior aide Hope Hicks tests positive. Trump is flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment, receiving supplemental oxygen, the antiviral remdesivir, and the experimental antibody cocktail REGN-COV2. The hospitalization reveals the extent of White House security failures: the Rose Garden ceremony for Amy Coney Barrett becomes a superspreader event, infecting at least 30 attendees including Senators, White House staff, and journalists.
