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.

This is about trying to say the “irresponsible Trump exposing people when he was positive”. They want to track when he was last negative before he went in and hope there is a gap.
LOL!!
The Cleveland Clinic required that everyone at the debate be tested, so if the President was positive then the President's team lied to the Cleveland Clinic and the Debate committee.
Given the incubation time, and how long it took for the President to become symptomatic, I think he caught it AT the debates, and not by accident...
And what difference would it make to the press.
And...we still do not know the other 3 Whitehouse correspondents that tested positive.
Yo remember those correspondents...the ones that run around without masks when they think the camera is not on.
Why does it matter? He is over with it now, and has immunity. Now they are angry because he got better so quickly.
same reason biden wont say if hes gonna pack the court A HOLES
We will tell you after erections!
Biden had said in an interview he gets tested all the time and that he knows the difference between a zebra and a rhinoceros.
Why won’t Biden say what his score was on his last cognitive test?
““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.””
Nefarious? Even in his fervered fantasy scenario that Trump has been infected for a month and spread it as the “super-spreader” (these Harvard Profs sure are articulate), it wouldn’t be nefarious.
Unless he’s saying Trump deliberately spread it knowing he was infected.
Which is probably what psycho bubble elites think.
Isn’t that the day he said...take care of it...and went to Vegas.
When was Joe tested for drugs?
Oh? He refused?
Take away his license.
Just to be clear
The antibodies will stay in his body for months. The normal tests would give a positive reading. Though Trump isn't the normal patient they would test for the virus it self which is "negative for Covid"
Media: Let's see. What can we outrageously accuse Trump of doing/being? Hey, I know! Let's ask a stupid innocuous question no one but us gives a flip about! (Actually, we - the media - don't care either. It's just we hope it makes Trump look bad. any mud that can stick - that's our motto!).
Thank you for letting us know. I will pray for him!
Donald Trump - Master Troll.
HIPAA, probably. It’s nobody’s business. They’ve already published too much info on his health, IMHO. As long as he’s healthy and has been cleared, I’m good with that.

Marc Thiessen: Where was Obama during Benghazi? Ask the White House diarist
By Marc A. ThiessenMay 12, 2014
What was President Obama doing during the eight hours that the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, was under attack? Amazingly, we still do not know 20 months later.
But there is an easy way to find out — just ask the White House diarist.
When trying to keep track of the president’s time, most observers look at “WAVE records” (the White House visitors log listing everyone who enters the White House complex) and the “President’s Public Schedule” (which selectively lists the president’s public activities). But there is another document that meticulously records all the president’s activities, public and private, every second of every day. It is called the “President’s Daily Diary.”
...So how is it that the White House has failed to give a full account of the president’s whereabouts during that eight-hour period? The White House knows precisely where he was and what he was doing, yet it is refusing to share that information with Congress and the American people.

Marc Thiessen: Where was Obama during Benghazi? Ask the White House diarist
By Marc A. ThiessenMay 12, 2014
What was President Obama doing during the eight hours that the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, was under attack? Amazingly, we still do not know 20 months later.
But there is an easy way to find out — just ask the White House diarist.
When trying to keep track of the president’s time, most observers look at “WAVE records” (the White House visitors log listing everyone who enters the White House complex) and the “President’s Public Schedule” (which selectively lists the president’s public activities). But there is another document that meticulously records all the president’s activities, public and private, every second of every day. It is called the “President’s Daily Diary.”
Just outside the Oval Office is a room called the Outer Oval, where the president’s secretary and personal aide sit and through which all visitors coming to see the president pass. Staff members in the Outer Oval keep track of the president’s location at all times. They carefully record the names of all individuals who walk into the Oval Office — when they entered, how long they stayed, what the topic of discussion was. They keep a record of all calls made and received by the president, including the topic, participants and duration. They even record the president’s bathroom breaks (they write “evacuating” into the log).
This and other data on the presidents’ whereabouts are collected by a career National Archives employee whose title is White House diarist. This individual preserves them as a minute-by-minute historical record of the presidency for future use by presidential scholars.
What this means is that there exists a minute-by-minute record of where the president was and what he was doing for all eight hours of the Benghazi attack.
So how is it that the White House has failed to give a full account of the president’s whereabouts during that eight-hour period? The White House knows precisely where he was and what he was doing, yet it is refusing to share that information with Congress and the American people. This is unacceptable. Imagine if 20 months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the George W. Bush White House had still refused to account for where the president was or what he was doing that day. There would be outrage and constant demands from the press, Congress and other investigators demanding to know the answer to a simple factual question: Where was the president?
The new congressional select committee on Benghazi should subpoena the “President’s Daily Diary” and call the White House diarist to testify before the committee. There is precedent for doing so. In 1998, the grand jury investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair questioned White House diarist Ellen McCathran. Moreover, the “President’s Daily Diary” is not a classified document. It eventually becomes a publicly available record. There is no reason to withhold it from Congress.
I don’t know.
First lets find out why Obama never provided a valid
birth certificate.
Trump has had so many investigations run on him, but they
can’t even prove he cheats at cards. LOL
Investigations of Obama? What investigations?
Why doesn’t DJT ride an Indian motorcycle? ....American people deserve to know..../s....bunch of stupid morons...
