CNN is a bit frantic on the timeline. Even Fredericka Whitfield seems to be wincing.

[underpants]

MSNBC is not focusing on the timeline at all. They mention “Wednesday morning” on the chryon. Of course Andrea Mitchell was on offering that it’s basically all good news.

Gloria Berger, who I normally love, was fired up and Fredericka has some telling facial expressions.

1. Unforced error!

[Docreed2003]

2. That "72 hrs after diagnosis" quote

Is going to bite the WH in the ass.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. How the fuck is that good news???!! nt

[underpants]

9. I meant that Andrea Mitchell was doing her Andrea Mitchell thing.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. Right, I was rhetorically yelling at her... :-D

[onecaliberal]

4. The therapy trump received on Wednesday requires one to apply for on compassionate use.

Then it would have to be ordered. So the doctor is putting the diagnosis timeline on Tuesday.

8. Question to WH: If Trump received a trial treatment under "compassionate" use

on Weds, why did he go ahead and attend the rally Weds. night and the fund raiser Thursday night? It would appear the exposed both his staff and supporters to the virus.

[onecaliberal]

11. Another question.

Did trump show up to the debate purposely late Because he knew he was COVID positive?

[mercuryblues]

16. That crossed my mind

then the refusal to wear masks. They wanted team Biden to get it because then they could say: SEEE, we told you masks and social distancing is useless!!!

It is also evidence that if trump goes down, he'll take everyone he can with him.

[lame54]

17. It would also explain...

Why Trump spent the whole debate pushing his aerosol towards Biden

[onecaliberal]

19. He will take down everything he can. No question.

[eppur_se_muova]

18. Wouldn't putting him out of our misery be a whole lot MORE compassionate ? nt

[Ms. Toad]

21. The treatment was on Thursday.

The clinical symptoms (falling asleep on the plane) were Wednesday.

[frazzled]

5. It's damned suspicious

They have every right to be alarmed. More and more things are not adding up.

[J_William_Ryan]

10. "CNN is a bit frantic on the timeline..."

…because it indicates that Trump intentionally exposed others to infection; that although he knew he had contracted the virus, he continued to go to meetings, fundraisers, and other events absent any health and safety precautions.

[onecaliberal]

13. He exposed the Vice President and his family.

[underpants]

20. It was more a critique of style

They looked like Crazed Karen’s.

[Ms. Toad]

23. He spent close to 24 hours pretending life was normal and deliberately exposing others.

Falling asleep on the plane Wednesday evening is the first acknowledged clinical symptom. He ran his full schedule until Thursday evening, knowing he had symptoms - part of it after knowing Hicks had been diagnosed.

I think they began 24 hours before that - I identified that I thought he was mentally "off" at the few points during the debate I watched. I wouldn't have connected it specifically to COVID 19 at the time, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense.

[AngryOldDem]

14. This has me so damn pissed

Man has been a walking, talking public health hazard and he’s been allowed to walk around and infect everyone in sight — because “move along, nothing to see here, folks!”

That fucker was sick in Cleveland. Bank on it.

Criminal. Fucking. Criminal.

[gristy]

15. As I have posted on other threads, the 72 hour since diagnosis is surely a lie

Everybody is all over it and repeating it because it is so damaging to 45.
It's a believable lie because it is so damaging to 45.
But what if the truth was 84 hours? or 96 hours?
You would then have trump's bizarre debate behavior readily explained as an attempt to infect Biden.
OMG

22. I was listening to MSNBC in my car just about 45 minutes ago...

...and they definitely discussed how fishy the time line was, how fishy the wording was about Trump being on oxygen, etc. One of the voices I recognized in this conversation was Andrea Mitchell, who so often pulls both-siderism crap, and she voiced clear suspicion about the truthfulness of White House statements about Trump's condition and timeline.
