'White House doctor sparks confusion with questionable timeline of Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis.' Alternet, 10/3/20.

White House physician Dr. Sean Conley just provoked mass confusion with his timeline detailing President Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis. During a press conference outside of Walter Reed Medical Center, Conley noted that they are "just 72 hours" into the president's COVID-19 diagnosis. He also claimed the president had been fever-free for "over 24 hours."

Tweet: The Recount. 'Trump’s physician Dr. Sean Conley says Trump is “72 hours into the diagnosis” which would mean he was diagnosed on Wednesday — before his rally and fundraiser.'

The doctor's misstep was not missed. Almost immediately after making the statement, reporters quickly questioned Conley's timeline since the president just announced his positive test results around 1:00 a.m. on Friday morning. Based on Conley's suggested timeline, the president may have tested positive sometime Wednesday. Footage of the press conference is already going viral on social media as Twitter users are doing the math and noting that the questionable timeline does not add up.

The main question is: When exactly did the president test positive for coronavirus? Many people are also noting what Conley's timeline suggests: Trump traveled for days and interacted with hundreds of people as he dismissed masks and social distancing — all while being well aware that he was COVID positive.

Tweet: Doctor Sean Conley referred to the fact that Trump was diagnosed 72 hours ago, which would actually mean he was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Wednesday morning- before his fund raisers. That means he KNEW he was positive when he shook hands in Bedminster. 12:22 PM · Oct 3, 2020

The tweet reads, "A White House official clears up timeline from Walter Reed newser: Conley meant to say it's 'Day 3' of the diagnosis, NOT 72 hours. Trump's diagnosis was Thursday night. Regeneron was administered two days ago, not 48 hours ago."

The White House's response to the debacle has only made things more speculative. In an attempt to offer clarity about Conley's remarks, a White House official appears to confirm what the doctor said. Despite the White House official's claim, it is important to note that doctors typically reference time in hours, not days. The president has also been lambasted by one of his donors for moving forward with the fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., on Thursday evening...

3. So which lie is it?

I see some saying that he doesn't have the infection and is lying to say he does. I respectfully disagree. Seems to me the lie was going to be that he didn't have it until he could not keep the news from getting out. If he got away with no symptoms, he would keep doing rallies, and anyone who got sick must have got it from someone else. Not only did he get symptomatic, the host of others with the infection around him made it hard to keep the story from exposure. The timeline is the lie, he would never say he had it until he could not hide it anymore. Just my speculations.
