Has anyone heard anything about Biden today...? [View all]

I’m assuming he’s getting tested every day, but it’s known that you get lots of false-negative (more that 50%) results until around day five after potential exposure.

And, frankly, with news reports that Trump was showing symptoms on Thursday or even Wednesday, I’m really concerned. It would mean that Trump was at the peak stage of transmissibility when he spent 90 minutes yelling at Joe in a closed environment. I hope I’m just being unreasonably pessimistic, but I would have to think it’s more likely than not that Biden has been infected. I’m eagerly hoping for news of further negative tests, particularly tomorrow or Monday, as then I might start to relax a bit.
