Dr Fauci denied that Miss Pham was deteriorating ...

Huh?

Well, when you read the entire story it sounds like the downgrade was just a difference in assessment from one hospital to another. They specifically said her condition has not worsened.

Agreed. This sounds like more reporting from this morning's press conference where another doctor said "she is "doing quite well compared to what we were told about her status at the other hospital.".

I haven't found an update and there may not be one until tomorrow a.m.

I get the impression that authorities are very reluctant to admit that patients under treatment aren’t steadily improving. Afraid it’ll add to the “panic,” I guess?
