No Symptoms, no temperature, vitals stable. Question, IS HE STILL TESTING POSTIVIE?

I know they won't answer "when he last tested negative", then ask if he is testing positive?

When he weans off the steroids, then we'll
know something. Not till then, except that
he's more mental than usual.

And he might not test negative for more than a week from now, IF he's going to recover. He's on the steroid high and he might be in the eye of the hurricane. He can just as likely fall off the survival cliff, but if he doesn't, he's got permanent organic damage.

detected antibodies, which has nothing to do with whether he is still shedding virus or not

Testing positive would be a good indicator of that

The campaign is leaking money like a sieve and they need him out there. The doctors will say "He's had 3 days without symptoms. He's safe to hold rallies again."

did test positive for the coronavirus anyways to begin with (he is trying to get people to feel sorry for him and thus vote for him, which I think backfired big time for him).

I wouldn't get closer than 10' to him, and really, the best choice is to NOT debate trump and let trump have a forum to vent his ranting and raving.

trump will lie and sprout nonsense as usual, and won't let Mr. Biden even speak (but Mr. Biden is a good debater), I am sure that the powers that be surrounding Mr. Biden are fully aware of the pitfalls awaiting debating the POS in the WH. It's a shame that trump has soiled this entire process, the debates, the long standing tradition of friendly, one on one debates that have been around for so long.

We've had patient who tested positive with symptoms who continue to "test positive" for weeks after they've shown symptoms. That's actually very common.

Have a new video of him.

He is too unreliable to put out for a live appearance. Even a taped video is iffy.

So they have him off camera, hidden. And they give vague information about his vital signs. Stable suggests not moving around wildly but could still mean consistently too high or too low. They do not want his true condition known nor do they want anything leading up to his diagnosis with Covid known. If we knew he knowingly went to an event/debate/ fund raiser knowing he was positive for Covid, that might be problematic. So all we get are crickets.

All of this will eventually leak out, it always does. They are just delaying the inevitable. As for tRump himself, they may very well have him sedated so he can cause less commotion. Interesting times we are in. I Don’t think we can say the times are stable.

I know pulse rate and respiration rate are usually included in vitals, sometimes blood pressure. Does stable mean they are remaining relatively constant? Or that they are within a defined normal range? Or something else?

I'm curious because if he's been manic, say, his pulse rate, may be staying within some range, but that range could be high.

He will test positive for 90 days likely. Testing positive after being positive isn’t the metric about whether or not you can go in public
