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.

Prayers for Christie. Man, God forbid if he dies before election, it’s going to brutal hit on President.

The candidates and traveling companions were allowed to be tested outside of Cleveland Clinic. Only attendees had to have a test at the clinic. Not Pres, VP or their companions who could have been tested at their own places outside of clinic.

They are trying to:
1) Find out if President was sick WITH COVID at debate and didn’t cancel
2) He was sick and still went to rally on Thursday knowing he was positive for COVID.

Honestly, wish President would release the information to stop the press from implying he was positive with COVID.

Why do they NEED to know?

He’s had it already.

That changes each and any previous test negative.

His past test results don’t matter because he’s had COVID.

END OF STORY.

There are reports that Chris Christie is upbeat and making a lot of calls to friends yesterday. He is still in the hospital.

It is a basic, crucial question and one the White House refuses to answer:

Once Trump wins the election, your question will be answered. Otherwise, the answer will become the issue, and the real issue is that you need to get out and vote!

Good Lord the AP is full blown retarded..here is the series of events, its NOT hard to figure out
The Rose Garden event WAS the super spreader event..that is where Trump, etc were infected
Trump did test negative on Tuesday for the debate, both he and Biden tested negative, that was done by the Cleveland clinic(The cleveland Clinic did NOT test the audience though, that was done by both sides, basically taking their word for it)
Now even though Trump tested negative, he can still have the virus in him, the virus will ONLY appear as positive once the virus actually bubbles up in the body that is how it works

I got it. And agree.

“Man, God forbid if he dies before election, it’s going to brutal hit on President.”

It would probably be a pretty bad day for Chris Christie as well.

Truth is, (and it is intentional), not one of the main stream medical establishment CDC/WHO/Fauci recommended tests are accurate.

They are designed to fail.

I’ll use the word “massive”.

Massive money involved. Massive corruption involved.

Massive left-wing global totalitarian government power, to subjugate the masses, is at stake.

It was one of the primary purposes of this train wreck to begin with.
