A Tennessee pastor tested positive for COVID-19 one week after meeting with Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A pastor from northeastern Tennessee who met with President Donald Trump and other administration officials at the White House on July 13 started experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and tested positive for the virus one week later.

Reverend Perry Cleek of the Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church in Jonesborough, Tenn. attended the televised roundtable event attended by President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Attorney General William Barr to discuss law enforcement.

The White House invited Rev. Cleek to the event after his $1,000 donations to police officers in his community drew media attention around the country.

The pastor started experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 on July 21, the website for CBS and ABC northeastern Tennessee affiliate station WJHL-TV first reported. Rev. Cleek said he was tested for the virus prior to attending the event, and said he tested negative at the time, according to WJHL-TV's report.

10. Oh, wouldn't that be ironic?

Trump as Bloody Mary!

14. that's Typhoid Mary

15. Oh yeah, that's right

I get my Marys confused, though I suppose both could apply. Trump certainly does persecute dissenters and has caused many deaths.

2. Maybe trump acts as some kind of demon seed for the virus, you know like his Houston doctor was

warning can happen .

12. If I were the doctor and he came in

I'd have tanned before his eyes
Cuz I would have taken him for almost every penny
I'd have made up cures that I'd have sold him.
Telling him that his insurance doesn't cover it because of Big Pharma.
But, that trump was secretly taking it

3. Just pray it away!

That works, right?

5. But, but, but....I thought....

it was a hoax that will magically disappear in summer, just like the sniffles and masks aren't necessary? Why all the worry, good Reverend?

13. File this away for future reference

If you get the nasal/throat swab or saliva test, you will get a false negative test result:

* 100% of the time on the day you are exposed to the virus. (There are so few viral particles in your nose or saliva so soon after infection that the test cannot detect them.)

* About 40% of the time if you are tested four days after exposure to the virus.

* About 20% of the time if you develop symptoms and are tested three days after those symptoms started.

This possibility of a false negative test result is why anyone who has symptoms that could be due to COVID-19, or has been exposed to someone known to be infected, must isolate even if they test negative for coronavirus.
