Trump likely had the virus during the debate, according to medical experts
Trump likely had the virus during the debate, according to medical experts
- The leading data and CDC guidance on COVID-19's infection window, along with assessments from public health experts, point to Tuesday night's debate in Cleveland as a potential spreading event for the coronavirus, with President Donald Trump likely contracting the virus beforehand given when he tested positive.
- Trump was "likely infected between Saturday and Monday," according to Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health.
- It takes five days on average for the virus to be detected from the point of infection, according to CDC research, usually remaining detectable for up to 14 days, with some exceptions.
- Debate moderator Chris Wallace said Friday that his doctor advised him to wait until Monday to get a test, citing the delay of its detection leading to possible false negative results before then.
- "The significance of that to me is that if the president had a test yesterday and had tested positive, then I think he had the coronavirus during the debate," Wallace said Friday on Fox News.
