Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said in his first reaction to the news of President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis that he’s hoping Trump recovers quickly from the disease.

“Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery,” Biden said in a social media statement on Friday morning.

“We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family,” he added.

Campaign officials for Biden, whose schedule has him campaigning in Michigan later Friday, have not said whether the nominee has been tested for COVID-19 since debating Trump in person in Ohio on Tuesday.

Biden’s campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment.

COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

Though older people and those with serious underlying health issues are more at risk of developing serious cases of COVID-19, most people who contract the illness end up recovering.

A small percentage of patients die.

The Trumps “are both well,” Sean Conley, physician to the president, said in a memorandum late Thursday.

The first lady said she and her husband “are feeling good.”

She postponed all planned appearances and Trump scuttled plans to travel to Florida for an Oct. 2 rally.
