More than a dozen cadets who were ordered to return to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point for their upcoming graduation ceremony ― after President Donald Trump announced he would deliver the commencement speech ― have tested positive for the coronavirus. Fourteen of those cadets tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, USA Today reported, suggesting they’d been infected and had recovered. All cadets were ordered back to their homes across the country in March, however, as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus, which has killed more than 106,000 people nationwide. The graduating cadets began returning at staggered intervals after Trump announced his plan to speak at the upcoming ceremony. “Eventually, next year, they’ll have a commencement which will be like it’s been, nice and tight.”
