Why won’t White House say when Trump last tested negative?
The Associated Press ^ | October 9, 2020 | By JILL COLVIN (D-AP)

It is a basic, crucial question and one the White House refuses to answer: When was President Donald Trump’s last negative test for the coronavirus before he tested positive last week?

“Yeah, I’m not going to give you a detailed readout with timestamps every time the president’s tested,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters last weekend.

“I can’t reveal that at this time,” echoed Alyssa Farah, the White House director of strategic communications. “Doctors would like to keep it private.”

“I don’t want to go backwards,” said Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s physician.

The answer could help fill in vital details about the course of the president’s illness as well as when he may have been contagious and whom else he may have exposed. And the White House refusal to answer makes it hard not to wonder what they’re hiding, given other details they’ve shared.

“At this point it’s just so strange that they’re unwilling to give us the information,” said Michael Joseph Mina, a physician and professor of epidemiology at Harvard. “It makes people start thinking things like, ‘Was the president the super-spreader?’... If there was no nefarious activity going on, then they should have no problem answering this question.”

The information is also key to tracking who else may have been exposed to the virus so their contacts can be traced to prevent new clusters of infection.

“Then you can get an idea, potentially, of when he was infected, how long his incubation period was, and also then evaluate who may have been exposed to him over that time frame,” said Benjamin Pinsky, medical director of the clinical virology laboratory at Stanford Health Care. While there is considerable variability between cases, he said, Trump was most likely infectious several days before he tested positive.

Trump gets tested every day. He has even said so. So it would be the day before he tested positive. It’s called “logic”. Oh, wait, these are the ‘tards in the MSM we’re dealing with. Never mind.

I realize my comment might be misleading. . .I KNOW what HIPPA is, I was just mocking AP and the dems and their lack of HIPPA Act protections knowledge.

Why won’t the AP fess up that they are agents of Soros and his merry band of conspirators? I could care less what they report; just cat litter liner as far as I’m concerned.

Meanwhile, if you can spare a Prayer, please send one to
Chris Christie. He has been hospitalized at least six days.
Some speculate that he’s on the ventilator. Not much new data.

Meanwhile President Obama was AWOL when our embassy was attacked on 9-11-2012 and he still won’t say where he was or what he was doing. The expectation is that he was FUBAR on dope or engaged in a sexual tryst.

CDC even says that 10 days from when you first caught the virus you are not contagious anymore and you also do not have to retest after that time period.
