Warzone/The Drive: The President Contracting COVID-19 Is A Major National Security Crisis
There are massive and highly unique strategic implications of this situation, the likes of which America hasn't experienced before.
The Commander In Chief has tested positive for SARS-COV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, this is a bad moment for the country, especially in terms of the potential national security implications of this situation, one that is largely unheard of. While Presidents have been incapacitated in the past, the highly infectious and wily nature of this disease means that incapacitation is further complicated by isolation and the possibility that the same deadly virus spreads throughout the highest rungs of power in Washington. It is in this uncharted territory that America's increasingly belligerent adversaries could decide to act, taking advantage of weaknesses in the U.S. military and foreign policy decision-making chain of command.

Update #2: Trump’s COVID diagnosis is ‘a significant national security crisis,’ analyst says (Today)
WNU Editor: If the President is infected and there is a national security emergency/crisis .... transporting him to any secured location will result in that location being compromised within a certain period of time. And if the President's illness worsens and he becomes incapacitated, America's adversaries will definitely look for opportunities during that period time. We will know what the impact on the President's medical/health conditions from this diagnosis in the coming days. But I find it disturbing to hear that he is already exhibiting symptoms of the disease. If true, that is not a good sign.
