What's Known About Barron's Health After Trump's Positive Test

The world woke up to the startling news Friday, October 2 that President Trump and First Lady Melania had tested positive for coronavirus. Obviously we are left with plenty of questions, one of which is how Barron Trump is doing in the wake of his parents' scary health news. According to People, Barron, as well as Ivanka Trump, both tested negative for COVID-19 on October 2. So what exactly does that mean? Details are still emerging in the situation, but according to USA Today, the President's top advisor, Hope Hicks, tested positive the day before he did, which is when the Trumps began their quarantine process. But when was the last time Barron was with his parents? At the debate on Tuesday night, photos abound of Trump's other children in the Cleveland auditorium. Although CNN reports the family accompanied the President on Air Force One to Ohio for the debate, it's not clear if Barron was on the manifest. It's worth noting that Trump would have been tested before the debate. The New York Post reports that the day before the Trumps tested positive, the President attended a fundraiser in New Jersey, and presumably was not with his son. We know now that Trump was with many of his close aides leading up to his positive test. Former adviser Kellyanne Conway has subsequently revealed her COVID-positive test result, as has Chris Christie - who is currently hospitalized as a precaution due to his asthma, according to CNN. The news outlet reports that several Senators have tested positive as well. As far as Barron is concerned, he may have been in school over the past several days or weeks - it's been reported that St. Andrew's Episcopal where he is a student, is preparing for a hybrid learning model, set to commence in a few weeks. We don't know if Barron is being isolated at this time. Sadly, social media has not been kind to Barron following his parents' diagnosis, with multiple Twitter users taking jabs at the young man. Surprisingly, it's been Chelsea Clinton who has come to Barron's defense in recent days regarding mean treatment - after all, who else knows as well the cruel things people say about a child whose father is in the White House? On the Jemele Hill is Unbothered podcast, Clinton said she feels, quote, "very protective" of Barron, and shared a few stories about the horrible things people have said to her because of who her mother and father are. President Trump was said to be in good spirits, and full of energy, according to a statement made by his chief of staff Mark Meadows on Friday, October 2. CNN also reported that the White House declared Friday that both Donald and Melania Trump were, quote, "feeling well." During the weekend following the diagnosis, Trump's physician Dr. Sean Conley made a statement outside Walter Reed to update Americans on the president's health status, saying that he is working while hospitalized, and in general had encouraging news to share. On Sunday, Trump made an appearance outside the hospital, waving to supporters from a motorcade. Here's wishing him and Melania a speedy recovery, and of course, that Barron and the rest of Trump's family - and anyone he came in contact with - stays healthy as well.
