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.

How about “None of your fracking business!”
Or “When Nancy and Chuck release all of their tax records for the last 10 years.”
Or “Right after Crazy Nancy Pelosi has passed on to join RBG.”
IMO, Trump has at least 287 votes locked up now. I cannot wait to see their faces when they are counted. I want him to ban the AP from the white house property as fellow travelers of the enemy which can be take your pick: Russia, China, Democrats, Hitlery clinton or all of them.
It always bothers me when we count electoral votes before Nov 3. Vote folks! Get out there or we are screwed. The left always whines about how they are screwed when reps win. Never happens. We know what happens when dims win.
Cause it really doesn’t matter.
You mean HIPAA.
Ape Pee.
Because it’s driving YOU nuts, AP.
Why didn’t we ever get Clinton’s nor Obama’s records?
GTH, AP — you Marxist Rat rag
Because it’s none of anybody’s freaking business. Haven’t these people ever heard about the HIPPA Law?
Like the flu? /S
I’ve never missed an election regardless of how in front or behind I believe we were. My reason for the post was to make a comment about AP, not who is going to win the election.
Who cares, he was obviously not sick before or positive, or he wouldn’t have been positive this time.
Jill “Swill” Colvin, Democrat Resistance operative at the @ssociated Propaganda...
Ah look, Ass.Press. just wants to help the public by being contact tracers since the WH probably just doesnt have the skill and manpower!
Why does it matter? He is over with it now, and has immunity. Now they are angry because he got better so quickly.
Media Criticizes Trump For Downplaying Virus Threat By Not Dying!
WASHINGTON, D.C—President Donald Trump is once again under fire from the media for recklessly downplaying the danger of COVID by refusing to die.
As the president begins to show signs of recovery, many worry that this sends the wrong message about the seriousness of the global pandemic.
“Every hour that he lives is another hour that the severity of this virus is undermined!” said reporter Sara Grace Major for CNN. “Why won’t he just DIE and show the American people how deadly this virus truly is?”
“Mr. President, are you sure you don’t need to lie down indefinitely or go on a ventilator?” asked another distraught journalist. “Maybe even say goodbye to your loved ones?!”
“Honestly, I feel terrific. Tremendous, really. I was never afraid of this virus before, but now I am even more not afraid. It’s sad, really. I was told this virus would be one tough cookie,“ Trump said to the press. “In fact, I’ve never felt better.”
“His defiance is going to get people killed. Dying like he’s supposed to would be the most patriotic thing he could do,” complained CNN correspondent Adam Pelot. “If he lives, how will the people be able to trust science?”
At publishing time, members of the press had begun pulling their own hair out as they watched the “incredibly strong and healthy” president go for a jog around the White House grounds.

Because they don't have to?
Trump should say, “we’ll tell you when Biden comes clean about packing the SCOTUS.”
They won’t say when he last tested negative because it is not relevant to whether he is approved to get out and travel. Every freakin’ lame stream media talking head has suddenly become Trump’s personal physician.
