Okay first thoughts:
#TrumpHasCovid
There is a political/institutional/geopolitical angle to this.
- Politically you are talking about impact on the race/replacement
- Institutional you are talking continuity of government/chain of command
- Geopolitically its opportunity

The second variable is how sick does he get
1. (next to) Nothing
2. Pretty sick but not nothing serious
3. Ventilator/incapacitated
4. Dead
Based on this a whole range of this are relevant, does he sign the 25th amendment, does Pence take the presidency etc etc

And the third variable is who else has it/gets sick.
If both Pence and Trump fall into category 3/4, then Pelosi becomes acting president, and then they question is to what degree the whole damn government is unable to operate.
