Besides, she probably is eager to be without him.

I would isolate separately if both people are sick, especially if one is sicker than the other when we talk about viral load with COVID.

She should be under Dr.'s care, too. Walter Reed could accommodate them in adjoining suites. Not saying really be by his side. But, if he were truly that sick, she would be there, not at WH.

Ordinary people might not be able to swing it like that, but pRes and FLOTUS surely could.

Since March we've heard about people dying alone in hospitals. You go in alone. No visitors when you have this.
Also Melania is sick as well.

If she wanted to be there as a precaution, she would be.

Look at Christie. He is positive, and he went to the hospital as a precaution. They're not like us.

Christie is morbidly obese and suffers from asthma (and probably other issues).

I don't get how you don't get this. Hmm?

But, I agree, she doesn't rate special treatment, even if she is FLOTUS. But, if she were concerned about tRumpy, she could have said that she wanted to be there, and she would have been. It doesn't matter what the rules are for the rest of us. And don't try to blow that smoke that she gives an RA about whether she infects other people. They haven't so far.

At least ten docs assembled for their presser over his condition. We still can't tell how sick he is--my guess is, not that...call me when he is on a vent...

not being admitted to the hospital. That's 2 different things.

Originally, they said that BOTH of them were coughing. Why isn't she hospitalized at Walter Reed?

even if they are coughing, sneezing, or what not.
You are not going to be accepted in a hospital for cough.
