The Guardian reports:
Trump’s doctors said it had been 72 hours since Trump’s diagnosis (so sometime on Wednesday), which does not fit in with what we know – or were told. We were told of Trump’s illness late on Thursday/early Friday Washington DC time.
That means Trump apparently went to a fundraiser in New Jersey knowing he had Covid-19. Indeed, on Thursday Trump did not give any indication he had been diagnosed in a television appearance. So either Dr Sean Conley is wrong about the diagnosis, Trump was not told he had Covid-19 or he was not telling the truth.
Sean N. Dooley, a pulmonologist also spoke during the briefing. “We are monitoring [Trump] very closely for any evidence of complications from either the coronavirus illness or the therapies that we are prescribing to make him better,” Dooley said. “He is in exceptionally good spirits.”
WHAT? Dr. Connelly just said we are 72 hours into the President’s diagnosis…. would mean positive test Wed AM. Working to clarify.

Doctor was just asked about this discrepancy & says Thursday night they got PCR clarity……this did not clear this up and this would be a big misstatement. Also hasnt clarified why President would have started 48 hours ago…which would be prior to positive test.

Instead of reassuring the public, Walter Reed press conference sets-off new confusion and serious questions about President’s #COVID19 diagnosis.

This would mean the president was diagnosed the MORNING AFTER THE DEBATE AND NO ONE TOLD THE BIDEN CAMP OR DEBATE ATTENDEES!!!!!!!!!!! https://t.co/S4t3ceqaxZ

Conley very specifically not answering whether POTUS has been on oxygen at any point. Two sources close to POTUS tell me his blood oxygen levels dropped yesterday.

President Trump’s doctor says he’s 72 hours into the diagnosis. Another physician says Trump received a special antibody therapy “about 48 hours ago.” The public found out 36 hours ago that Trump was positive — only after it was revealed an aide had tested positive.

Doctors say they are 72 hours into Trump’s diagnosis. That would be Weds 11am. Trump announced he had Covid Fri 1am. On Fri evening he said he was being tested. Did he attend a rally in MN on Wed & then a fundraiser in NJ on Thur AFTER his doctor thought he had coronavirus?
