The TIMING????

[jimlup]

Something is rotten and it isn't in Denmark:

The timing of Trump's diagnosis and his hospitalization don't make sense unless:

1. He tested positive well before Thursday night and the WH covered it up hoping it would go away while simultaneously risking the lives of everyone he came into contact with several days before Thursday.

or...

2. The WH didn't test and don't test everyday which is stupid and borders on criminal negligence considering the situation and likely some early symptoms.

or ...

3. He received a mega-dose of the virus.

#1 is by far the most likely.

1. The most likely is 2

They don't test and when they do they improperly use the less accurate abbott test.

He was probably showing symptoms on Monday which got worse by Wednesday.

2. I am not sure I get your point.

If Trump got infected on Saturday, with 4-5 days being average incubation period, Wednesday-Thursday is when he would start showing symptoms.
What does that have to do with supposedly getting a mega dose of the virus, or why would he have tested positive before Thursday?

[jimlup]

3. With any reasonable testing regime he should have tested positive well before

Thursday night...

#3 is irrelevant and is almost certainly not true but it would explain the sudden onset of symptoms which is why I included it.

4. Absolutely false.

Those exposed aren't even recommended to be tested until 5-7 days into the exposure.
Because prior to that test might not be able to pick the virus.

6. Revision based on Monday information...

My suspicion is that it is an admixture of #1 and #2...

With this WH, incompetence rules.
