Gotta ask though - do we actually believe he's got it? Or desperate last-ditch attempt given recent disasters? I wouldn't put it past him, but what a terrible thing to question... So I'll only do it in private :wink:

My immediate reaction is that is smells very fishy. Not that I'm a conspiracy theorist or anything (:sunglasses:), but getting the sympathy vote straight after a debate humiliation is a tad suspect. I predict a 'superman' recovery with nosymptoms...or an attempt to delay the election.

Yes, only discuss this in private...although I see that Carl B. is posing some questions.

Can't see Trump giving it to Melania as they've been physically distant for years.

Yeah, the timing ain't right here... And I mean - Hicks is the PR 'genius' right. She reports a positive earlier today, hethen Tweets "we're getting tested" hours later and then two hours after that "we're positive". They have a million IDNow machines at the WH since everybody is getting tested constantly - that's a 15 minute test. Doesn't check out. [not that I'm a conspiracy theorist or anything].

I'm in the wrong timezone - missed some serious banter.
2020-10-01 23:26 Kristian G. Andersen open PDF p.203

You did
2020-10-01 23:27 Kristian G. Andersen open PDF p.203

Nothing important though, so all good.

Trump got a kung flu chop. Or perhaps not...
2020-10-01 23:28 Kristian G. Andersen open PDF p.203

Haha, nice summary
2020-10-01 23:28 Edward C. Holmes open PDF p.203

On the bright side, he'll have plenty of time for tweeting
2020-10-01 23:29 Kristian G. Andersen open PDF p.203

Can't wait.

"China did this to me!"
2020-10-01 23:30 Kristian G. Andersen open PDF p.203

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with - and based on that we'll 100% know if this is real or not.

Looking at the timelines and recent events, I'm calling bullshit for now. I might come to regret that, but hey.
2020-10-01 23:32 Edward C. Holmes open PDF p.204

I'm with you. Election delay next.
2020-10-01 23:32 Kristian G. Andersen open PDF p.204

That's what I'm thinking.

Plus, the writing... In the first tweet it's "First Lady" and Covid 19 - in the last one it's @FLOTUS and COVID-19. That last one wasn't written by him - it was prepared.Alright, I'll take off my tinfoil hat now and go to sleep. I'll do a two six-pack of Corona wager on this one.

You're right! Get some rest.

Here's the Wuhan timeline from my deep throat on the ground there. Bit later than I remembered but full genome still ready on Dec. 27th and CDC told on that day:
2020-10-02 00:33 Edward C. Holmes open PDF p.204

Dec 25, samples sent to Company A Dec 26, fragments of SARS-CoV-2 discovered by Company A Dec 27, full genome obtained by Company A Dec 27, 28, Person in Charge (Company A) report to both CDC and hospital, discuss these matters Dec 30, Company B had the data from another patient Dec 31, Company B's report got "leaked", which is the one I sent to you (59 reads)
