This does not make any sense. If true then how come the long and potentially dangerous delay in her diagnosis and the floating of totally wrong alternative diagnoses. This indicates either huge incompetence or serious misdirection.
This has been going around in her inner circles for weeks and she was just diagnosed with it on Friday?
WTH. More questions...
Misdirection is the simple and likely explanation (she lies about everything else...)
I do believe that members of her staff are feeling sick right now, though.
