don't know. Fair did not respond to repeated requests for comment. NBC has declined to comment on the record throughout the past month. > > Fair has been regularly appearing on NBC and MSNBC, but has not been on the air since his tweet revealing the antibody test results on Tuesday. Shortly after I began making inquiries related to this story, Fair appeared on the Today show June 17 and was described as having recovered from a "possible covid-19 related illness." In that appearance, he said he would "absolutely" keep viewers posted on the results of the antibody test. > > So far, there have been no on-air corrections. Or online -this NBC News story is still uncorrected, for example. The Today show website wrote a brief story, where they now describe what he had as a "severe illness." > > For his Twitter followers, and likely NBC's viewers, many still believe Fair had coronavirus, despite the fact that he clearly didn't. Said one: "Your experience only makes me more determined to stay quarantined. We still don't have a clear path on testing, accuracy, treatments and most of all any understanding on why some are so impacted and others are not!"

[2020-07-11 05:38:43] [Robert Garry] The story was on the front page of Drudge Report briefly and various other conservative news sites. Today it hit the Daily Mail. Is DM mainstream media yet? Twitter is ugly. I do believe that Dr Fair has the makings of yet another very ugly chapter in his career. Just not certain yet how the chapter ends. [2020-07-11 17:05:55] [Eddie Holmes] Unfortunate that the right are using a story that we should all enjoy. Daily Mail are very big in the UK. I've always despised them myself. [2020-07-12 11:00:49] [Robert Garry] Agree Eddie - But, this is just the first news cycle. Amazing stuff on Twitter. I have a strong feeling Fair's sad story is going to hit a lot more left, middle and still more right-wing media, before the storm dies down. I know this clown like Batman knows the Joker. Watch - with popcorn and a few beers - having lost the game he'll flail around and make it all the more worse.

Her tweets will not age well. Completely stupid comments about the Guangdong pangolin CoV...that it may have come from humans. So, if true, that means that there must have been a human virus circulating in Guangdong or outside of China months before it was detected in Wuhan. There is of course no evidence for and it contradicts her previous point about there being no human virus before Dec. Idiotic statement. Also, there is not one Guangdong pangolin CoV. Just wrong. She also completely forgets thatt the Guangxi pangolin CoV is also closely related to SARS-CoV-2. [2020-07-15 15:42:31] [Andrew Rambaut]
