It's because he is a known germophobe.
He actually hates shaking hands and only does it when he wants to do his little flaunting grab and yank to assert his "dominance". It's well known that he has been having his aids tested daily and has them wear masks around him unless it's time for a photo op.
He probably sanitizes his hands all the time too, which should be easy when your hands are that small.
Why is this making me laugh so hard.
In an interesting article, if Canada could vote:
By province:
and by political affiliation:

Fuck you Frank, you Oh Henry bar hating cheeto loving hoser!
He's 74, has preexisting conditions, and will prove to be a difficult patient. The odds aren't in his favor.

But he has literally all the resources of the country at his beck and call. They'll keep him alive, even if they have to hook him up to an ECMO (and I hope they will have to).
Anything that will shut him up and keep him off twitter for a few days, just to have maybe a weekend of peace from the constant stupidity.
Does anyone rememver what life was like before election night 2016, when you could just not worry about political malevolence from the executive branch on a daily basis?

If Trump dies before the election, what happens?
Assuming that Pence just takes up the ticket, will the same people who are voting against Trump still show up to vote against Pence?

That's another of my worries. How many Never Trumpers will happily flock to Pence's banner if Trump dies? How many stray Republicans will be moved by the "tragedy" of it and vote Republican? How many conservatives will be energized to support their fallen leader, whereas before they were just going to sit home? If Trump dies, or FLOTUS dies, this could create a huge wave of sympathy that would overwhelm an otherwise boring Democratic candidate.
But honestly, who the fuck knows? If his health goes bad or he dies, this would be the most chaotic "October Surprise" of all time.
Trump supporters go crazy saying he was killed by the Democrat deep state, Fox News nurtures it until violence erupts, and chaos reigns.
Not going to lie, but I really feel he is lying. I mean I could be wrong, but the timing makes it feel like he just wanted an excuse to not do any more debates. Claiming you have COVID is like a get out of debate free card when you don't want to look "weak" by abstaining.
This is Trump. He has tried everything he possibly can to get himself removed from the White House. Covid doesn't stand a chance.
This is probably accurate. Trump seems like the kind of person that would lie about having it just to get out of shit AND look like he was able to walk away perfectly fine like some kind of super-man. And he's the kind of man who wouldn't admit to having it if he actually did get it, knowing full well that having it will screw him up to the point where he can't hide it anymore if people knew.
Between the daily tests, meaning it's undoubtedly in a very early stage, and the amount of resources and information available, I can't imagine him dying from it.
Still, one can hope he at least suffers - couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I'm going with "play to avoid debates and get sympathy /fright votes" though.

The other option: He's not sick, he's faking his death so he can evade prosecution in New York AND give up the Presidency without technically losing.
no way on that one. He'd miss the attention so much that he'll "resurrect" within an hour. Will probably try to pass it off as the second coming.

With all the people who have met with the president in the last few days (including Moscow Mitch and judge Karismatic Kultist "Karen"), this may put a halt to proceedings on confirming the SCOTUS nomination.
All early votes to him do not transfer to Pence. Biden wins the election in a landslide. Maybe not if he died today but if he dies like a week before.
I don't see why he'd make this up. The quarantine doesn't get him out of debates but will cancel rallies
Since his doctor says he's in perfect health I wouldn't trust the doc either.
