Trump joins list of world leaders diagnosed with COVID-19

President Trump announced in a tweet on Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus. The tweet sparked a flurry of messages from other world leaders, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 himself back in March. CBS News foreign correspondent Charlie D'Agata joined CBSN with more on Johnson's battle with the virus and how the British government handled it.

I don’t like Trump, but I hope him and his wife get through this.

Projector-in-chief... Whatever Trump accuses someone of, means he has done it or is currently doing it himself.

Trump: Weve turned the corner on coronavirus.

Coronavirus: Really? Ive got something for you.

Given the consequential COVID news from the White House today, let's keep our eyes on the prize and vote. Vote as early, safely and peacefully as possible (vote.org), complete the census (census.gov) and help two other people outside your household to do the same. Let's all be compassionate toward one another. This, like the election, is about the American people and her future. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.""– John Philpot Curran, Dublin, 1790.
