It's also worth noting that anyone can and will make all kinds of predictions, especially on Twitter. With literally hundreds of thousands of people making public predictions on events to come in the coming weeks, some of them will be right. It's not far fetched to believe that Trump or people in his office would get the Wuhan virus.
There is a psychological phenomena where people will remember accurate predictions and tend to forget the numerous failed ones. It's related to or is a variation on confirmation bias.
Also there is the Von Restorff effect (that an item that sticks out is more likely to be remembered than other items).
It's similar to how most of the polling in 2016 was a huge fail and Democrats still cite polls to male predictions. Of course we were on the right side of the bullshit then and hope to repeat the same this year. However, we can't make use the past to justify not voting or being too overconfident this time.
Very true, "fake" can mean a few different things with coof being as characteristically vague as it is.
Could be deliberate campaign strategy as the tweet suggested (Trump psyop). Tests could have been a false positive (legit error with no human influence). Test results could have been tampered with (DS psyop).
Whatever kicked it off, I fully expect Trump to capitalize on it and use it to his advantage.
I'm sure this is how he will play it, regardless of whether the diagnosis is fake or not.

I predict Trump will win reelection
